Agree with you about this tune! Definately a 'less is more' type of track - can't think who it reminds me of though.... sorry! The album is good & quite diverse - certainly gets you tapping your toes though!!!
Simon T Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Had a listen and now I've got Bobby Reed - 'The time is tight for love' Â Â going around in my head.
Cunnie Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) Here's the link Rob. https://www.myspace.com/thebeesofficial Look a right set of hillbillies so I hope your'e not thinking of booking e'm Wigley Same here Simon with the Bobby Reed. Can also hear bits of that awful Motown tribute thing that Rod Stewart did a few years ago. Thankfully I can't remember the title. Edited July 13, 2007 by CUNNIE
Paul R Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Reminds me of '70s James & Bobby Purify for some reason. Paul

Guest soulmaguk Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 firstly just wanna a say brid weekender was tops... also i think the Bees rec sounds like a Sam & Dave track! Regards Jock.
hipshaker 05 Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 the bees played in our tent at the iow festival ....... had it rocking nicely. the band members have some very diverse influences and at least one of them is into his soul and funk. and the single is excellent i think too.
Guest ScooterNik Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 My first impression of it was that it sounded an awful lot like someone such as The Cables on Studio 1 or Coxsone? I keep meaning to dig through the albums I have on those labels to try and nail it down as its been annoying me too......
phatspinner Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Hi All-first post so bear with me here! The Bees came in my shop a few years ago as they were playing a gig locally. Of course at that time I had not heard of them. However they were a bunch of young guys who obviously had a love of 60s and 70s music. We chatted for a while and I remember them buying some funk and northern items and being impressed by their interest in shall we say the more interesting musical genres rather than the obvious. Of course since then I have looked out for their progress and it's been good to see them getting some success. One of their last singles, "chicken strut" or something similar got a lot of play on radio 2 and was a convincing Meters type funky workout. Anyway, changing the subject... whilst listening to Stuart Maconie's Saturday show he raved about a new track from the Coral I think. Anyone else hear this and was I mistaken but did it bear more than a passing resemblance to the brilliant Tony Gallo-In love, I might be wrong as I had a rare customer in at the time.
hipshaker 05 Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 chicken payback ......... nice funky tune. we give it a spin every now and then.
bri pinch Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 Where did you get the 45 from Brian ?? HI ROB..GOT IT FROM THE VIRGIN MEGASTORE UP PICCADILLY CIRCUS, GOT AMY WINEHOUSE LP TOO. THINK THERE WERE A FEW COPIES ON GEMM THO'. BEST, BRI.
