I can’t overlook this guy either. I like these videos of the Twins first live band with Michael Mozeth and Phillip Wolf. They really drive the beat of these great rock and roll songs. Michael seems to be in his own zone there, fun to watch and listen to. I hope he is doing well and still playing.

I went through a rockabilly phase a couple years ago and really enjoy the simple lineup of a 3 piece band playing rock n roll. I enjoy the classic ones like Carl Perkins, Eddie Cochran and even Elvis when he started out. I found that rockabilly is still a big thing in the states as well as Europe. I even found a few new bands that I really liked. I especially like the bands that feature a girl playing the big double bass. Here’s another band I really like called Relax Trio. They are out of Finland and write original rockabilly music. The bassist is named Linda Teranen. I really enjoy their music, I hope you guys do to. https://youtu.be/cl9LQmekw78?feature=shared

Jung, here’s one I am posting for fun. I discovered this rockabilly group a couple of years ago on You Tube. They are a young couple from Wales that learned from their elders who had a band called Black Cat Trio. The drummer from that band is playing here with the kids. I just wanted to highlight young Donna Meszar on the double bass. She is a good singer and a fine bass player and her partner Paul Wilmott is a pretty good guitar player. Hope you all enjoy The Discoveries.

I absolutely hated the disco craze back then. Luckily I had a stereo at home and in my car and didn’t have to listen to the radio. I liked the Bee Gees before their disco phase and can’t deny they did blow up the air waves with it. Now days I don’t mind it because it’s not being played 24/7. I even like some of it once in a while. Stayin’ Alive does have a great beat and bassline and the Gibb brothers were among the best at harmonies. Maurice and Robin were twins too even though they looked nothing alike. Good post David, it is a great tune.

Yeah that’s pretty cool. Says quite a bit about the man to write a song for a kid’s show and bring in the whole band complete with horn section and background singers, and add in the extra talk box. Pretty special. I bet he did influence some young kids with that.

I agree Chris that Mona is helping out with the bassline. I don’t know if Mona gets enough credit for what she does. When they do a song with Lisa playing and singing lead I like to watch what Mona is doing. The fantastic rhythm playing with just a few added notes, the percussion, blues harp and of course the gorgeous harmonies with just the right oohs and aahs. She is so focused on making the song sound perfect. It’s fun to watch and always makes me smile and often puts a tear in my eye.

I really like Crimson and Clover and Crystal Blue Persuasion. They definitely influenced a lot of the psychedelic movement in the 60’s. I like Joan Jett’s version of Crimson and Clover too.

Jung, I loved that song and performance straight away. Here’s another one with a great bassline but it takes some strength to focus on the bass with so much fun and beauty going on in the video. I assumed it was Rudolf playing bass but on the cd it lists Michael Mozeth on bass.

Hi Chris, I have a couple of their Cds and it’s the only time I’ve had to use the language translator function to order an album. When I got the first Cd it was wrapped in a Finnish newspaper so I kept the newspaper too. They have a lot of great tunes. On this one I love Linda’s little smile at 1:36 when she does the little tapping run on the bass. I think she is saying “yep, I can do that”, Lol.

They were my favorite band until I found Mona and Lisa.

Good one David, I always loved Tommy James and the Shondells. They are quite overlooked but had a lot of great songs and obviously influenced a lot of bands to come later.
-
Yeah Jung, The Beach Boys had some great bass lines through all of their songs, probably because they had a genius composer playing bass, kind of like The Beatles. Here’s one of my favorites and I think the best version of a good old Chuck Berry Song. https://youtu.be/xzyLAfOGc4U?feature=shared

That’s one of the coolest basslines ever. Just heard it yesterday on the radio in my pickup truck. My truck doesn’t have a cd player otherwise I would have been listening to Mona and Lisa.
-
Yeah Chris, Jung and Jurgen, they have a lot of good songs on YouTube including some with Donna playing and learning from her relatives rockabilly band The Black Cat Trio. I do have one cd that Donna and Paul produced that is really good. I did hear they got married and haven’t seen any new stuff from them in a while. I hope they continue to play music.
