Mark Keen Band

They are essentially a psychedelic blues band playing excellent covers of Hendrix, Cream, Tom Waits, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and Bo Diddley to name but a few; but they also play exceedingly funky/acid rock originals like Hendrix meets Frank Zappa. The live show has to be seen to be believed as one music journalist put it,

"Jeezus H jumped-up Christ man, I've got to hand it to you - that was one mind-meltingly awesome performance last night. Completely blew me away.... (It was interesting to observe crowd reaction, too.) That is exactly how an electric guitar should be played." Gary Crossley, Independent.
