I have known two of Ten Foot Polecats for over five years and seen this band for over two following them all over Massachusetts to many venues. They tap into the past in such a way you would think they were from it for real. Deep nitty gritty, rockin, smokin blues. I do not know how anyone can sit still with out wiggling around or getting up on the floor to shake their stuff. Dave Darling the drummer left at the end of the year and now Chad has taken over. I don’t think they could have picked a better choice to fill his place, although the way I see it no one can. Dave will surely be missed. It is never the same when an original member leaves but on the other hand you look forward to new things such as more originals like they played out in Worcester a week ago.
See What My Buddy Done and Squeeze are up on the top of the list for favorites. They cover so many songs in one night and I am looking forward to hearing the new ones again and hoping for a new CD to come out soon.
Their bio:
Ten Foot Polecats are a three piece band from the Boston/Worcester Massachusetts area but their influence is drawn from deep roots of the North Mississippi Hill Country. They have constructed a very definite sound that sets them apart from other artists as they bring a very aggressive attitude and approach to their brand of blues and roots. Due to this, they have made quite an impression on the national and local music scenes as they are currently one of the few blues based bands booked across the country in the rock, punk, and psychobilly circuits along with the various blues and roots circles.
Check them out, have a listen. The player starts right up when you click on their site. I love them and maybe you will too.
