The Band

The Divinchis self titled album was recorded after putting together a collection of original R&G songs written in Burleigh Waters on the Gold Coast Queensland Australia.

The recording was produced at Rancom Street Studio in Botany Australia, by engineer Ted Howard, and producer Alex Plavsic.

A host of highly regarded musicians are on the album including;

• Garry Larden (Vocals) 
• Chris E Thomas (Vocals)
• Pedro Plavsic (Bass)
• Alex Plavsic (Drums)
• Toivo Pilt (Hammond organ)
• Mark Punch (Guitar)
• John Carson (Keyboards, Piano)
  
• Tony Azzopardi (Percussion)
  
• Paul Chenard (Saxophones)
• Martin Farrugia (Trumpet)

Of the 10 tracks, 9 originals are an eclectic mix of songs written by Garry Larden (author), and John Carson.

Opening with sinuous sax playing then leading into the groove of ‘The Money’ Garry Larden’s distinctive vocals take this album through a diverse mix of rhythm & groove.

A certain individuality and hints of soul, blues and groove can be heard throughout tracks like ‘Bella Bella’, ‘Smoke Signals’, ‘One Bad Woman’ and the very popular “Shake the Tree’.

Two ballads are featured on the album; the spacious ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ and the album closes with the meandering ‘Long Road Home‘.

The one cover, ‘Ain’t No Lovin Left...’ is a track written by Leon Huff.

Joined by some of Sydney’s finest musicians and given creative freedom, the album has a freshness and originality underpinned by a tight rhythm section, powerful vocals and tasteful creative soloing.
