Watussi
"Watussi",
the eight piece party Afro-Colombian rock
band from Bondi has signed their debut album
to Knowfool/Inertia to be released nationally
on October 15th. Entitled "Tequila, Sangre
y Fuego", the album is fourteen songs
of the sort of high energy fun and danceable
tunes that forged the Watussi live reputation.
Tracked and mixed at BJB Studios by Scott
Horscroft (The Presets, The Panics and Sleepy
Jackson) and Berkfinger (Richard in you Mind,
Cuthbert and The Night Walkers), the unique
mix of Afro-Caribean percussion with the raw,
rock guitar riffs and thumping bass has been
captured fantastically well on their first
release. The multilingual first single "Echale
Fuego" is already available to listen
on the band's myspace page (www.myspace.com/watussimusic).
Knowfool has started work on remixes for this
and other tracks on the album.
Watussi will play a few warm up gigs in
the coming month at The Vanguard on Friday
Sept 21st, Triselies in Katoomba on Saturday
Sept 22nd (both supported by Brisbane's Grassroots
Street Orchestra) as well as two shows at
the Darling Harbour Fiesta on the Sept Long
Weekend with the official album launch party
planned for November.
