One of the early pioneers of British R&B and house band at the famous Eel Pie Club where they often played alongside The Yardbirds, John Mayall and many others. Still rockin in 2004. 'Burning Snow' was recorded live in Sweden in 2000 showing that these old geezers still rock!
"Few bands can still get up there 35 or 40 years after their heyday, but The Downliners Sect still get the job done-with plenty of Sect Appeal to boot" Mike Stax-Ugly Things Magazine
MOJO Magazine has just named their third LP 'The Rock Sects In' as one of the 67 'Lost Albums' that you MUST own.
Earlier this year Record Collector Magazine named their debut album one of the Top 20 british R&B albums of all time.
Of all the British R&B bands to follow the Rolling Stones' footsteps, the Downliners Sect were arguably the rawest. The Sect didn't as much interpret the sound of Chess Records as attack it, with a finesse that made the Pretty Things seem positively suave in comparison. Long on crude energy and hoarse vocals... the band never had a British hit, although they had some sizable singles in other European countries. Their version of 'Little Egypt' knocked The Beatles out of the top spot in Sweden early in 1965.
'Burning Snow' is also available as a digital download from Napster, Apple iTunes, MusicMatch and many others. Buy the entire album or just the tracks you like best for 99 cents or less.
'Burning Snow' ships in a plain plastic sleeve to keep prices low. No art or liner notes. Just great rock & roll!
