Not Only But Also The Blues: Rameagle / Furzeham Blues Initiative (FBI)

Rameagle

Rameagle is a Devon-based neo-psychedelic rock band known for their ethereal flute melodies, swirling synths, languid vocals, hypnotic guitars, breakbeat drums, and driving fuzz bass. Their music draws inspiration from early Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Gong, Hawkwind, and Throbbing Gristle, crafting psychedelia-influenced rock and roll for Planet Earth. They have been described as “excellent glam/psych” by Tom Cox, a Sunday Times bestselling author and former music columnist for The Guardian and NME.

Their debut single, “Ghost Party” was released on October 31, 2023. Listen here:

Furzeham Blues Initiative (FBI)

FBI is a Brixham-based band, led by master of the slide guitar, Terry Reep with Torbay musician Andy Perrin on drums and Essex boy Les Miller on bass. After being signed to the Blues Matters label in 2003 with the Tonekings, and gigging at clubs and festivals on the UK scene, Terry quit live playing to be a guitar tech for many internationally famous musicians, including Tony Iommi, and British blues guitarist Ian Parker, before relocating to Devon and returning to playing again.

Terry says, “Expect Albert Collins-meets-Lowell Fulson-meets-the Vaughan brothers! plus special guest, Bristol’s funkiest keyboard player Martin Poole.”

Here’s Terry Reep in action live at Henry’s Blueshouse, Birmingham playing with Midlands band The Nitecrawlers:
