One of the most underrated bands in the modern retro rock n roll scene. Driven by female powerhouse vocalis,tLouisiana-born-and-raised musician Greta Valenti (Well Hung Heart) and UK British Blues Hall of Fame Inductee, Robin Davey (The Hoax, DVL, Well Hung Heart) on.guitar with the help of some talented musicians to support their musical dream.
BGATA are a mesmerizing mix of twelve bar rock n roll, 50s-60s female bands and doo woop sound, New Orleans, and Hard rock. Imagine BLACK CROWES meeting THE RONETTES to jam under Phil Spector's orders and you are as close as you can get, adding in a good measure the melancholy and the 90s alternative feeling of bands like MAZY STAR. An album that has the melody and the sentimental power of the 60s female bands, Soul and passion along with the swagger and the groove of Nashville and BLACK CROWES. From rock n roll damnation of "Oh Yeah!" ,"Satisfy Your Queen", "Wild Woman" to laid back tunes like."Middle of the Night", "Sad When I'm Dancing","All I Could Do Was Cry" with their 60s influences from the all girl groups of the era, to the countrified "Mama Cray" and the more "alternative "Marie", BGATA are a band that demands and earn your attention delivering a blizzard of music that never lets you go,even when the listening of the album has ended.
A feel good vibe ,diversified, colourful and vigorous in those days of apathy and misery, a fresh sound looking at the past and living in the present. Catching them live should be your next task, after listening to this great record.
