Saint & Sinners at Temple Pub Bolzano

a damn good Rock’n’Roll Band with demonic good songs and innocent smiles in their faces: These four guys from the Munich area have found their asskicking style somewhere between the powerful Rockabilly of Ronnie Dawson and the bluesy, pumping groove of blues legends such as Robert Johnson and John Lee Hooker. The fat guitar licks, the propulsive beat of the double-bass and the inventive playing of the drums are being led by a voice that’s, in opposite to the sinfully dirty basic sound, clear and calm and is confessing about the big and small vices of life. Their Rock’n’Roll is traditional, but nevertheless sounds modern and up-to-date. Their musical open-mindedness shows in the Band’s melodic songwriting and extraordinary interpretations like Depeche Mode’s »Personal Jesus« or Jethro Tull's »Locomotive Breath«.
