NOTIZIE PRINCIPALI
With a power-packed sound that tips its hat to the blues rock genre, Cigars have brought the groove back to the Australian music scene - with a punch that feels good. It’s big, bold, loud, but so laden with grooves and hooks, you can’t help but move and sing along. Guitar-driven blues rock hasn’t been this good for too long, and it’s a more than welcome renaissance.
The band formed in the early part of 2015 as a four-piece, a mixed bag of guys with a multitude of musical influences and pasts that gelled from the get-go. From indie pop to hard rock, soul to RnB, this special union of musical minds has created something that’s fresh, based on everything they’ve learned and heard from a combined experience of many decades inside the scene.
It’s catchier than an office virus, and when it’s blasted out live on stage, it’s even better. The energy bounces off the stage and dives deep into your soul. You’ll be humming these tunes for days, aching for more.
Cigars Of The Pharaoh completed the recording of their debut EP within months of forming, such was the pace at which their unique blend of talents moved. Hooking up with Sean Carey (Thirsty Merc) at Church Street Studios, they laid down a four-track EP across a single weekend. Standing still is not a pursuit of interest for Cigars.
Mystery Highway was the result, and it’s already made waves, with national airplay on Triple M and a line-up of gigs that will only further enhance the band’s reputation as one of the hottest new acts in Australia, growing a new brand of rock to the highest level it deserves.
