Sixes and Sevens:
The Moombas

The Moombas

The Moombas want you to add your rhythm to the blues. They like the syncopated snap of a snare drum rolling over grinding bass. They like gutbucket guitar breaks followed by blustering saxophone solos. They like voices that shout the pain and joy in life. Words that are rough and ready to the ear. They like gospel shouts and field hollers, juke joints and barrel houses and dancers doing the slow drag in dark places. The Moombas like Memphis soul and Chicago swing. They like shuffling feet, smeared lipstick and forgotten tomorrows. They just want you to have a good time. So put your blues to the rhythm of the Moombas.
