Taking the mainline through the Mississippi Delta and picking up the ferocity and groove of The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the fuzzed up frenzy of British & US Freakbeat & Psych, the laid back swagger of the Bad Seeds, the gutteral howl of the Cramps and the insistent drunken thump of Tom Waits on the way, Tupelo Town Assembly blaze a down and dirty blues soaked path not to be missed by any self respecting fan of this genre.

Jim Stax Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Tupelo Bootay!Ah, remember the good old days...I think we can claim this as Tupelo Town Assembly's 'arriving on the scene' gig being we are predominantly a vocal band now and not the instrumental band we started out as in the fifities.:up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Stax Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 AnnouncementPUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT! We would like to state for the record and in this worldly sensitive time that the 'hell bound' section of the TTA blurb is purely a throwback, retro, rock n roll special effect and we do not actually claim to be league with Beelzebub. Many thanks from the lovely men at TTA central:up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Stax Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 In light of the Fudge awards. TTA have decided to award themselves the 'Best New Old Guys Award' that we made up. We were going to take the award for 'Perseverance' but felt that was rightfully Eric Eaun's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Stax Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 About time this got a wee nudge up the boards!Anyone intrigued as to the joyous noise the other, not Ziggy, parts of Staccato Set are now doing should get along for 8.30pm Not a squeeze box or acoustic guitar anywhere near what we are doing...

Flash@TMB Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Never a problem for someone to bring an amp head, so take the VOX but the 4x12's are hard wired and life is too short, so please leave the cab at home. Although you can tell your speaker cab apart from others, nobody else can, especially in a room full of 200 people and with it micd up through a PA.We're OK with the Behringer bass head. There's no problem with changing bass heads when there's built in FX at stake. The only reason we try and stick to the Ampeg head is because it's very big, weights a ton, and the less we move it the less expensive maintenance it requires. Just plug your head into our cab, we have a suitable cable.The only things we object to swapping around are the cabs and the drum kit basics (kick and toms). If we get down to that level of pricking about then we need to reduce the number of bands and then the sums wouldn't add up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Stax Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 8.30 sharp for some trashy garage blues Tupelo Action.See, I use the word blues and instantly question myself if it is the crap-white-boy-blues-lite that is tepid by the book watered down shit! Or something a little more ballsy fuzztastic howlin poundin noisefest.Thankfully we are the latter!First signs of this being that bass fellow, Andy, has all the distortion noise pedals that the guitarist usually has and guitar chap, Phil has but one pedal, sometimes!
