[shadow=red,left,300]Hot Dog Taylor [/shadow]
Hot Dog Taylor is a new, hot "juke-joint" band, playing electrified countryblues, 50's and 60's R&B-style and all kind of blues in the tradition of Elmore James, Hound Dog taylor, Lazy Lester, Jimmy Reed, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters... The music they play is a mixture of originals and carefully selected covers. The recordings you hear on the page is original recordings from 2007 (no covers). - It's sounds like oldies anyway, so whatever... Satisfaction guaranteed! Send email to hdt@live.se
Screamin' Pete, aka PG (voc/git/harp) was the ”frontman” in Blueass Blues Band from 1981 to 2005 and is considered to be one of the best showmen in the business. He’s been touring all over Scandinavia, Holland and Belgium several times and he’s also played at many of the biggest or most important bluesfestivals in Scandinavia, for example Åmåls bluesfest (S), Bluesfestivalen Mönsterås (S), Scandinavian Blues party (SF) and Lillehammer bluesfestival (N). In the summer of 2003 PG was touring the USA (with Blueass) and played at The Safeway Waterfront Blues festival in Portland OR. PG is also a songwriter and his songs have been played over the radio in entire Scandinavia, big parts of Europe, Australia and USA. Beside Blueass PG also been playing with legends like Arthur Conley and Lazy Lester. ******************************************** Michael "K" Kähäri is a "one of a kind" guitarplayer with his own touch. He's been playing his guitars since 1967 when Peter Green, Clapton and Hendrix hit him hard and deep. There have been many bands passing through the years but for the moment he's happy to be part of Hot Dog Taylor's band. For the wider audience in Sweden he's also known as Stagemaster at the Åmåls Blues Festival Jam stage for the last couple of years. Michael is also touring with his own "Michael K's Rumble Pack. ******************************************** Lars "Large" Andersson is truly the bassman in the band. For many years he was just fooling around and played mostly on special occassions and at jam sessions whenever he felt like it. When he was hired for some studio jobs, and also took part in some touring with Fat Bull and his Vets, he finally had to admit that he had a mission - He was the one who started Hot Dog Taylor. ******************************************** Robert " Rob Hydewhacker" Skoglund is a true master of rhythm. In spite of his youth he is a drummer with a lot of experience, playing at every jam he ever get the chance to take part in. He has backed up many famous (and semi-famous) blues stars at jam sessions in the past and he has built a reputation as an upcoming star at the swedish blues scene. As Pete use to say: " We're happy as long as we can keep him, 'cause some day he's gonna be way to big for us". This is HOT DOG TAYLOR - And don't you forget it!
