[Harp-L] RE: Harp-L Digest, Vol 98, Issue 30



Re Hazmat Modine
Hazmat Modine - what a uniquely dynamic and exciting band. The twin harp
firepower (Wade Shulman diatonic, Bill Barret chromatic)  is anchored by
a BRASS bass (Souzaphone?) which adds a weird and utterly distinctive
seismic power.
In full flight they blow you away. Saw them in a tiny basement club in
London and was electrified. I have not mentioned the pumping brass
section......
Their first album "Bahamut" features a very beautiful train/foxchase
harmonica solo from Shulman which then warps into minor tonality and
takes you from Memphis to Istanbul. The disc abounds fabulous harp riffs
- check the one stolen wholesale from Butterfied, polished and buffed. 

If the recent discussion here re the future of the blues has depressed
you, get one of the two albums. Then you will want the other. They are a
righteous and joyful transmogrification of blues fundamentals into 21st
century sturm & drang , slick and funky but poignant and wonderfully
strange. It is no surprise to learn that Wade's other career is as an
artist
