Talking Sages is (is/are? corrections welcome.) a new band of improvising musicians and freestyle MCs founded by Trumpeter Pete Horsfall. The raps are clever, the beats are well constructed and archive113 has five tracks for you to download. Have a listen. Done.
Bill Zoot – Vocals
Twinky Blu Tac – Vocals
Pete Horsfall – Trumpet and Composition
Dave Shulman – Alto Saxophone
Ruth Goller (Calum Gourlay on recording) – Bass
Dave O’Brien – Keys
Mike Clowes – Drums
These guys are very hard working indeed. Inbetween recording/touring/self-releasing (on vinyl, no less), Staz assures me she is finding time to send the occasional copy of their music to Japanese record stores. Hip.
They are launching their new single, WINNER (not sure on its capitalisation status) at the Old Blue Last on the 25th of February. Go to it.
