BIO:
Peter Blast has been performing Live for over Thirty-Five years and for half that amount of time he has been releasing Records and CD's with different record labels and distribution companies; both Major and Indies. "Peter Blast walks a fine line of Elegance and Balls and his lyrical interpretive skills stand right alongside the likes of The Boss, Bruce Springsteen" (Anne Leighton, NYC)… "Peter Blast dazzles, Peter Blast shines, Peter Blast rocks…in fact Peter Blast makes me sick! How can one person be so talented; he’s like a fine Barolo, a living legend with pure RnR running through his veins" (Chris Rockson, Punk Globe & Sound-Check Magazine, UK). Peter is releasing a new CD in 2012 "PETER BLAST / WHITE VOODOO" which takes you on a journey through Americana meets British Rock but don’t stop there for it is only the beginning. This is all brand new Peter Blast material that is uniquely crafted and blended to flow as if you were listening to a mid-1970's LP. "PETER BLAST / WHITE VOODOO" kicks off with a taste of loose and reckless guitar weaving Rock-N-Roll reminiscent to the Original New York Dolls, The Rolling Stones, and the Sex Pistols all rolled up into one on the first track. Peter moves onto more radio friendly choice cuts complete with melodies and sing along hooks before stirring up the pot with Snaky Blues, Classic Rock, and Sixties R&B with a twist. Now add in the spice of an up tempo Tex-Mex Rocker that will have you swaying away with the night, front porch Country Blues, Adult Contemporary, a bit of Edgy Powerhouse Pop and back full circle with more Blues Based Rock. "PETER BLAST / WHITE VOODOO" serves up a full plate and should be listened to from beginning to end to fully capture and appreciate the uniqueness and diversity of the true Peter Blast sound.
This new Peter Blast material has special guest performances by members and ex-members of The Small Faces, Faces, The Rolling Stones, Some Girls tour group i.e. Ian McLagan; Rick Richards of Izzy Stradlin's JuJu Hounds, Sami Yaffa of Hanoi Rocks, The NY Dolls, & Michael Monroe; Rick Price from The Georgia Satellites; Chip Znuff of Enuff Znuff; Dan Curry from Hi-Fi & the Roadburners; and also members of Peter Blast Power Company, i.e. Gaby Zero, Pablo Castro (Buenos Aires, AR) and Spyder Darling and Dan Curry from the Peter Blast Group (USA) to mention a few.
