Master Danse - 'Feelin Dead' (official album stream)

Οι Master Danse μας έρχονται από το Detroit. Hard rock τρίο (John Giaier - κιθάρα και φωνητικά, Tom Riss - τύμαπνα, Cary Fletcher - μπάσο) το οποίο δημιουργήθηκε στα τελειώματα του 1973 και έμεινε ενεργό για λίγους μήνες καθώς στα τελειώματα του 1974 διαλύθηκε.

Δύο live ηχογραφήματα (σε μπομπίνα) και ένα promo single (45άρι βινύλιο) η παρακαταθήκη τους. Η δισκογραφική εταιρεία RidingEasy Records συγκέντρωσε όλες τις διαθέσιμες ηχογραφήσεις του Αμερικάνικου σχήματος και κυκλοφόρησε τον δίσκο "Feelin Dead" και μας δίνει περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες με το κάτωθι δελτίο τύπου:

«Master Danse was formed in late 1973 in Detroit, Michigan when drummer Tom Riss and bassist Cary Fletcher, formerly of the Detroit band Licking Stick, went looking for a new guitarist / lead vocalist and jammed with John Giaier, who had most recently played in the band Crawdad.

The three musicians hit it off immediately, and a new power hard rock trio was born. In 1973, Detroit was clearly “Rock City”, featuring such local icons as Bob Seger, Alice Cooper, Grand Funk Railroad, Ted Nugent, and Mitch Ryder, and the high energy punch of Master Danse reflected this proud heritage.

Unfortunately, this union would only last one year, and by the end of 1974 the power rock trio known as Master Danse had disbanded. What was left for posterity were only two live reel to reel recordings and one promo 45 single.

Some forty-seven years later, the 45 found its way onto the internet and a small cult following of audiophiles was born, people who appreciate the raw power and high energy of early ‘70s rock. Bands like Master Danse and others from this era were riding the wave of transition from the pop rock sound of the ‘60s to an edgier sound that would eventually lead to metal and punk music.

With the help of modern-day tape restoration techniques, the two live recordings were restored, and together with the 45, the best versions of the eight songs that have survived the decades are featured on this album.

Although recorded live forty-eight years ago on a two-track stereo tape recorder, you can still feel the power of Giaier’s Marshall stack, Fletcher’s twin Acoustic 360 amps, and the relentless attack of Riss’ Ludwig drums. So, sit back and enjoy. Rock on!»
