WEEK
****************************
The Harpoonist
& the Axe Murderer
Black Sheep Inn,
Wakefield QC
Friday, January 29
@ 8:30 pm
In reality, Shawn ‘The Harpoonist’ Hall and Matthew
‘The Axe Murderer’ Rogers evoke much more than just grisly nautical imagery.
Armed with an arsenal of harmonicas, a mess of foot percussion, and a road-worn
Telecaster, the duo kick out raw and primal blues in
the tradition of a ‘decades-deep blues
style’ (Scott
Brown, What’s up Yukon), while infusing the genre with a jolt of renewed
energy.
Their influences range from the iconic songwriting of Willie Dixon to
the boundary pushing of Jack White and Danger Mouse but their sound is distinctly their
own, smothered in greasy, gritty soul and imbued with funk. Shawn Hall provides
the rousing, rugged vocals and blues harmonica, while Matthew Rogers rips on
the guitar and pounds the skins with his feet. Their music is unapologetic. It
slaps you in the face and makes you sweat like it’s a sticky, summer night. It
cuts you to the core. It’s the blues played the way it was meant to be
played.
