VINTAGE TROUBLE
‘Blues Hand Me Down’
Live-wired, straight-shootin, dirty-mouth'd pelvis-pushin' juke music
Vintage Trouble, based in Los Angeles, is the brainchild of Ty Taylor (vocal) and Nalle Colt (guitar). Combining their love for original soul and rhythm & blues, the two set up a basic home studio in Venice Beach and started crafting the beginnings of Vintage Trouble. Already a friend of both, Rick Barrio Dill (bass) came along and added his shared bass influences and energy into the newly formed project. To make the band complete, Richard Danielson (drums) was recruited not long after to add the authentic and edgy take that was needed on the drums. With these collective energies and inputs in place, a new kind of soul band had been born with unlimited creativity and force.
Legendary and iconic band manager Doc McGhee, responsible for the careers of Rock and Roll giants, Motely Crue, Bon Jovi and Kiss to name but a few, took an early interest in Vintage Trouble and consequently signed them to his ever impressive management roster.
Sticking to their roots of mid-century original soul music and recording techniques, the band used a lean three-day recording session with full takes and no-frills to turn out 10 new songs a mere two months into the project. The first single off the ‘Album, Blues Hand Me Down’ is an explosive toe tapping sweaty rock n roll dance floor killer.
The band appeared on Jools Holland's late night TV show in April last year and wowed a nation with their live version of ‘Blues Hand Me Down’. Consequently the band became the 6th most trending topic of the day on Twitter, attained the #13 best selling digital album on iTunes, and had the #5 all around best selling digital album on Amazon UK.
Vintage Trouble sold out three Spiegeltent shows at Sydney Festival 2012, their first Australian tour.
