Debut release by the Bristol (UK) based trio, who play b-movie soul with a gypsy heart - friction abounds, propelling the foreboding swing and swagger of the double bass, guitar and violin into uncharted territory.
Bio / Background
Glamorous yet bedraggled, Bristol band The Master Chaynjis could have just stepped out from the set of a trashy B-movie. Dressed like the cast of a 50s noir thriller, the femme fatale of the piece is in a puffball swing dress while our sharp suited anti-heroes sport a pallor that suggests one too many sleepless nights.
The band’s unhealthy complexion is however deceptive. As they begin to play, a transformation takes place. The band are gripped by a fever, delivering one of the most striking and unsettling performances you might hope to witness. Friction abounds onstage propelling the foreboding swing and swagger of the double bass, guitar and violin into uncharted territory. The music veers from gypsy swing to 50s doo-wop, taking in the brashness of punk and the sombre reflection of folk along the way.
The eclectic style is a result of a strikingly diverse set of musical backgrounds.
