What better way of navigating the dark
underbelly of Country than with the thump and thud of twin bass guitars
drilling their way through sad songs of lost love, breakups and betrayal, the
malignant glue of relationships and the sticky end of the divorce court.
Singing songs from the Dark Side of life is so much better down in the shadowy
sonic world below 150 Hertz. Hank Wangford, the grizzled Godfather of British
alt. Country, is joined by two bass players: Kevin KillaHertz
Foster, the Jaco Pastorius of Country music and ex-Doll by Doll is the bass
player of the Lost Cowboys. Spanner Subwoofa Robinson the new Chanteuse with
the Cowboys and ex-bassiste of The Hallelujah Trails brings her heaven sent
harmonies to Hank’s songs. Together the three explore Country from the
bottom up, back to bass basics. The bass line in any song is mostly felt
then forgotten and the Bass Combo seeks to home in on this unsung carrier of
sad songs. The Bass Combo is joined by special guest Brad Bassbin Breath
aka Andy Roberts from the Wangford 4.
When misery’s that deep, for a Boombastic
Country experience it must be the Wangford Bass Combo.
