"Fucking 72Blues are the 2010BlowsYourMind band"
Dan Burke | Canadian Music Week

Detroit delta-electro rockers 72Blues pays homage to the great blues artists of the early 20th century. The band celebrates 'tradition' and 'authenticity' with their roots firmly planted in American heritage but saturate their blues with a stinging-sweat style attitude and power punch delivery, making the 72Blues sound - all their own.

72Blues deliver a blend of down south and signifying honky rawkin-blues; celebratin' old time traditional music and they nail it to the cross with original and contemporary sensibility. This mob of musicians hen peck and scuffle a devilish blend of country-blues, swamp-blues, gospel rhythms, cotton field chants and prison-blues.

Devil music meets Divine intervention you might say! 72Blues arrived with their highly acclaimed debut CD release 'Said I Would' (Shock Records / Timberyard), with 11 wickedly raw tracks streamed together seamlessly rejoicing in a 70 minute sinner's sermon. Followed by their 2007 single 'She Like The Fux, Like Electrolux' recorded in Melbourne, Australia and their latest 'Detroit Border City' EP recorded with legendary producer Jim Diamond of 'Ghetto Recorders' in Detroit, Michigan.

72Blues fight dirty and write music with the same killer instinct, continually re-inventing their punch combination of old time blues traditions. The band is back this 2010, stationed in Toronto/Detroit and are proud to announce their recent addition as new member Jim Diamond (The Dirtbombs) steps in to lend over 20 years of Detroit dirty rock experience.

72Blues is back for a spell and it feels mighty good. That's right! We're going back to the treasure chest, taken out the old boots and lookin' to bring you a raucous good time! Easy in easy out as they say!

All the palm sweat of anticipation couldn't loosen the grip we have on all the excitement. We are very pleased to announce that 72Blues will once again resurrect with a stellar line up including; legendary Detroit shit disturber (and a pretty good producer), Jim Diamond (The Dirtbombs, Ghetto Recorders).We're building barns to burn them down and bringing back all the songs that started the fist fightin', fire startin' and rock-n-gospel frenzy down under when the band was located in Melbourne, Australia.

And if you don't have any of the music (get it right here) - email us: info@72Blues.com and we'll get ya all geared up so you know the punch combination when we arrive in a city near you.

Come one, come all to our first show at Phog Lounge | Windsor | Saturday March 6th 10pm!72B
