Album Notes

GENTLEMEN'S BLUES CLUB: SHOTGUN WEDDING - COLLECTOR'S EDITION includes all 10 of the original tracks from GBC Vol.1 - Shotgun Wedding, plus an additional 5 Bonus Tracks, including 3 Concert Versions recording Live in Los Angeles, and 2 rare alternate studio mixes. The bonus material includes:

- SINCE I’VE BEEN LOVING YOU (Live): A rippin’ power trio version of the Led Zeppelin Blues Masterpiece.

- WHITE ROOM (Sonic Assault Mix): This 7 minute alternate version features a no-holds-barred Philip Sayce guitar solo that is simply incredible. Phil plugged in his Strat, turned up his Fuchs amp to 11, and “just went for it”! Lots of wah-pedal madness… Awesome!

- DUST BROOM (Live): A high-energy rendition that emortalizes Dirty Dave’s tale of love with a very naughty hotel maid.

- SHOTGUN WEDDING (Live): A faster live arrangement that includes the original bridge section that was edited out for the studio version.

- LYNDELL SHUFFLE: Originally a Screaming Buddahead tribute to BB’s old girlfriend (and her amazing “shuffle”). This infectious alternate version features Florida blues harp sensation Kellie Rucker and unites Dave & Phil with 4 of the original members of BB Chung King & The Screaming Buddaheads. 6 tasty solos!

Gentlemen’s Blues Club is an ALL-STAR, KICK-ASS, Hard-Rockin' Blues Album by Gentlemen's Blues Club (GBC) from Los Angeles, California. GBC is led by Bassist/Producer MICK STOVER (a founding member of BB CHUNG KING and THE SCREAMING BUDDAHEADS)

This GBC COLLECTOR’S EDITION is loaded with awesome Guest Stars, and boasts 3 of Southern California's most exciting Electric Blues Guitarists and the best Hammond B3 player in North America. Check out this line-up:

*** "DIRTY" DAVE OSTI *** vocalist extraordinaire, is also one of the most Soulful Guitarists on the planet. He may be legitimately labeled a master songsmith, having written over 500 great tunes! His raw, aggressive talent is beyond description... He will wear you out with his hi-energy rock songs, then sooth you back to life with his smooth acoustic masterpieces. Check out his awesome Grammy contending original song "The Thorn" on this highly acclaimed disc.

Grammy Nominee *** ALAN "BB Chung King" MIRIKITANI *** has been a West Coast Blues icon since 1988 when he masterminded the now legendary BB CHUNG KING & THE SCREAMING BUDDAHEADS. He has toured all over the US, Canada, Europe, and Japan, spreading the "GOSPEL OF THE BLUES". BB always blows your mind and shows you why they say he has "SOUL FROM DEEP DOWN IN THE HOLE!" His modern trio incarnation of THE BUDDAHEADS can be found on buddaheads.com and his CD "Mumbo Jumbo" is also sold on CD Baby

Special Guest Guitar Wunderkind *** PHILIP SAYCE *** The JAN 2006 Edition of GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE praised Philip's "Chewy drop-tuned riffs, wiggy bends, sassy wah, singing feedback, and waves of blistering, Fuzz Face-soaked leads". Originally from WALES via TORONTO CANADA, Phil has been tearing up the "L.A. SCENE" for the last 4 years. He has toured, recorded, and performed with such greats as MELISSA ETHRIDGE, JEFF HEALEY, UNCLE KRACKER, and DOBIE GRAY. Last year Philip appeared on JAY LENO, DAVID LETTERMAN, GOOD MORNING AMERICA, and received a standing ovation at THE 2005 GRAMMY PRESENTATIONS as the featured guitarist in The Melissa Ethridge Band. His debut American solo CD "Peace Machine" is also available on CD Baby. Check out philipsayce.com for more info

*** TEDDY ZIGZAG *** is LA's "first call" Hammond B3 KEYBOARD player. He toured with GUNS & ROSES in their heyday (including their infamous WEMBLY STADIUM performances in England) Ted played extensively with CAROLE KING & SLASH'S SNAKEPIT, and currently tours with ALICE COOPER. Ted also plays a mean blues harp, and has been featured in numerous movie releases & TV productions. He undoubtedly is one of the very best MCs in the music business. Check out his highly impressive discography on teddyzigzag.com

Drummer, Producer, Actor *** DAVID RAVEN *** is one of the most sought-after drummers in Los Angeles. His album credits include STEVE JONES (of the SEX PISTOLS), RICKY MARTIN, IGGY POP, DREAD ZEPPELIN, BOBBY WOMACK, The SURFARIS, The MEAT PUPPETS, and his own personal project The MOJO MONKEYS.

Rare Studio Versions and Wild Live Renditions make this CD ROCK!!!
author: John Thomas MacLeod
                            
I was fortunate enough to see GBC live in Southern California twice in 2006. WOW! The best band I have seen in a long time. David Raven & Mick Stover are the tightest rhythm section since the days of Stax & Motown. Dave Osti is of the brightest stars in today's Hard Blues scene and Teddy ZigZag (Guns 'n' Roses) is the best Hammond B3 player I have seen since Jon Lord played Osaka with Deep Purple. I love the new bonus LIVE tracks because they capture the incredible vibe of a GBC concert. My favorite tracks on this COLLECTOR'S EDITION are "Since I've Been Loving You" (better than Zep), the bonus version of "White Room" (the hottest solo of the year), and "Living at the Aztec Hotel" (greasier than vintage ZZ Top).

These Gentlemen KICK ASS!
author: The Pasadena Weekly
                            
... Gentlemen’s Blues Club could be described as something of a super group, composed of members who all come with impressive musical resumes. Band leader and bassist Michael (Mick) Stover is one of the founders of the infamous BB Chung King & the Screaming Buddaheads, a band long known for its “party ‘til you drop” blues rock style. Vocalist/guitarist “Dirty Dave” Osti is credited with having written over 500 songs, as well as being one of the most respected blues-rock guitarists in Southern California. His song, “The Thorn,” on the GBC disc “Shotgun Wedding,” was nominated for a Grammy. Drummer, producer and actor David Raven is also a familiar face on the LA music scene, with a list of album credits as long as a Fender Strat. He’s worked with Steve Jones (Sex Pistols), Ricky Martin, Iggy Pop, Dread Zeppelin, Nancy Sinatra, The Surfaris and many more. Keyboardist Teddy Zigzag is a top-call Hammond B3 master, having worked with Guns & Roses, Alice Cooper and many other top names. In addition, GBC is often joined onstage by luminaries Alan “BB Chung King” Mirkitani (front man of the Buddaheads), guitarist/vocalist Philip Sayce (Melissa Ethridge, Jeff Healey) and drummers Lee Spath (Buddaheads) and Joe Travers (Zappa). If you like your blues hard and sweaty, this... is it.
