The Baker Brothers coming to Telford’s in Chester

May 16 2008 by Michael Green, Flintshire Chronicle

THE Baker Brothers will play Telford’s Warehouse in Chester on Saturday, May 17.

Bournemouth-based Chris Pedley met up with brothers Dan and Rich at a dodgy gig around six years ago. The trio then went on to write and perform their unique style of dirty funk.

The band released three 7-inch singles and their first album Ten Paces on Bournemouth label, Arse Records, before being taken on by independent label, Peddler Records in 2004. They have since toured Japan three times and have payed a wide range of venues across Europe.

They have released two 7-inch singles, the second featuring the voice of London Nu-Jazz/Broken Beat sensation, Vanessa Freeman. Their second album In with the out-crowd was recorded live at The Camden Jazz Cafe, London.

Peddler Records has also released two 12-inch remix records of The Baker Brothers’ music, featuring mixes from Quantic Soul Orchestra, Nostalgia 77, Domu, Break Reform, Trevor Loveys, Jon Kennedy and Dr Rubberfunk.

The Baker Brothers’ third album Baker’s Dozen is currently available on CD and vinyl.
