500 Ft. Of Pipe


Listening to this album, we can feel that this band comes from Detroit, Michigan, like The Stooges, MC5, Ted Nugent,... and that it had to be a big influence on them, as well as british bands such as Hawkwind or Deep Purple. The group configuration is rather unique: a drummer in the center, a guitarist on his left and an organist-vocalist on his right. No bass player. Midway between garage and space, their music is reminiscent of some early Monster Magnet, or Spiritual Beggars. They describe themselves their style as "drug-rock".

"If you like the energy and drive of MC5, get a hold of this CD, you won't be disappointed. If you never have listened to the MC5 or 500 Ft. of Pipe, then I feel sorry for you. Do yourself a favor and pick up this CD so you can hear what really good straightforward pot drenched rock and roll sounds like. Over and out." (robwrong/StonerRock.com)
