Californias Central Valley - where the sun parches the land come rockin summertime and the fog rolls thick and wet all winter long - the perfect place for dreamers, drunks, and dancers, the lost as well as the found. Only a hundred miles north of the legendary sounds of Bakersfield, Arsen began crafting his own fine work of fact and fiction. But only somewhere between Saturday nights sinning and Sunday mornings church is where you can feel its full impact.
Arsen Roulette, striving to become one of todays top talents, started
years ago by locking himself in his fathers cobbler shop for nights on end,
feverishly practicing in the hopes of one day playing throughout the world and
leaving behind a piece of himself in history, forever locked inside the immortal
medium we call a CD.
Arsen recorded his first album, Lost Recordings, during the
crazy days of 2003 and 2004. The hot wax features Rockin Lloyd Tripp on
1st guitar and Matt Pav. on 2nd guitar. This multi-dimensional
recording met with huge success, gaining national recognition in such fine
magazines as Rockabilly Monthly and Blackcat Rockabilly. Just take
a gander at a couple other raving revues:
It has the fever and urgency of the killer --Jumping from 6 to 6
Watch out for this thunderous explosion --Blue Suede News
But wait! Theres more! They aint even close to being through. 2007 has marked the beginning of their success!
Arsen and his boys. Coming off a major US tour in
2005, a major European tours in 2006 - Present and after being voted one of Californias top 10 bands by the Fresno Bee,
Arsen and the gang has traveled over 250,000 miles including the bands
first European tour, taking them to almost every country on the old continent.
In preparation for the European tour and leading a wild new band, Arsen
went into the studio to cut a dozen pure, raw, straight forward Rockabilly
tracks. Drop the needle and watch it boil, mix a cup of Johnny Horton, a handful
of Burnette Brothers, and a whole lotta crazy, crazy lovin together and youll
have it. The title track, Lets Get On With It, will be featured in the
upcoming motion picture, Beauty 24.
Self penned tracks, wild vocals, rock-solid rhythm section, and blinding sharp
guitars make this band one of the best Rockabilly acts since the 50s! A damn
fine piece of work, dishing out the rebop both live and in the studio. Lets
Get On With It and give it over for Arsen Roulette!
