The Drellas - Scooby Doo Goodies and Baddies.
There was a time between December and March when this band had a different line up every time they played live. There were four consecutive shows when the line up had altered. They were 4, then 3, then, 4 and then 5, as we see today. It's only relevant if you see how good the band are. They hold the stage, rock the boat with a wild abandon for anything but dancing, look the part like part Psychobilly, part cast of Scooby Doo goodies and baddies.
Here is a band evolving with each live performance. Back in March they were supporting Goldblade and delivered a heavy set that rocked the art decor pillars of the Masque theatre. Si James' tenor saxophone rumbling with Phil Hartley's bass guitar and what seemed like a pure vibrating bed for the quirky jaunts of Tommy Scott's vocal and Ryan Clarke's keyboards to slash and stab through.
Tonight in the uber cool with more modest soundsystem of Mello Mello it's the balance of a mix that gives a truer record vibe of this band live. With that in mind it's exciting to know The Drellas are currently adding the completing parts to their new album 'Jukebox Noir'. If this has some thing to do with the laid back performance it's the band are all listening to each other, are aware of what everyone is playing and that comes from extensive time on the studio, where songs are truly written. Although The Drellas may be have played hundreds of gigs it is important to remember this new line-up is only on it's third.
