T Clemente Band: News

Hi Teddy,
Craven tagged you in a post.

The latest to leave me wanting more is the T. Clemente Band. They played Saturday night at Neto's and blew me away. The amazing voice of Amanda Dieck , mind blowing guitar work and writing of Teddy Clemente and seemingly impossible drum work by Jesus Garcia have me hooked. Solid backup by Mark Crissman on vocals, stellar bass by my buddy, Harold Lee (Martin), and innovative keyboard work by Bryan H Yoshida make this band a must watch. If you have not seen them you are missing out. In fact Harold had been trying to get me to come see them all year and only recently have I been able to.
The attached video is long. 13 minutes, but it is awesome. Set your preferences to 720p HD, turn up the volume and prepare to smile! The drum solo by Jesus Garcia absolutely is worth the wait at the end. Enjoy!

T. CLEMENTE BAND ‘ILLUSIONS’ (CLEMENTE MUSIC)
Here we have a really high quality independent recording from a band out of San Francisco, USA. They are called the T. CLEMENTE BAND, formed around excellent guitarist TEDDY CLEMENTE (a la RICHIE BLACKMORE), who is also the songwriter of all 10 songs on this album. THOM DUELL (a la IAN PARRY and JEFF FENHOLT) takes care of the vocals and he happens to be blessed with a superb voice, so we are talking about something really interesting here. Musically taking a bit of RAINBOW, URIAH HEEP, ZENO, Q5 and especially QUEENSRYCHE meets JOSHUA meets TRIUMPH with some Metal riffs added, mixing this all together with awesome vocal- and guitarwork, you basically end up with this awesome CD titled ‘Illusions’. Especially the songs “Life”, “Come fly away” and “Prisoner of war” are very impressive tunes to check out asap if your heart belongs to quality Progressive Rock/Metal with a Classic Hardrock vibe like a mix of mentioned acts and you want to hear beautiful melodies in all arrangements as well. The CD has a huge sound, partly thanks to the legendary GEORGE HORN (a Soul/Funk/Jazz legend!), who mastered the CD and also a special mention also needs to made for ROBERT BERRY (3, HUSH, solo, etc.) who played guitars, keys, did back-up vocals and took care of the recording and sound/mixing/engineering of the record, thumbs up to both for doing a great job here!
