8 Dec 2012 - Rock & Pop at The Yardbird
DC Fontana
DC Fontana are like sonic timelords, continually re-generating & re-inventing themselves with a stream of classy music to defy genre labelling.
Creating turned-on music to shake your hips & pluck your heartstrings with rhythm & bruise . . . . the DCs are like musical chameleons changing colour & never standing still.
The 2012 edition of the band is fronted by two girl singers while founding member Mark Mortimer plays bass & is one of the two main song-writers along with Scott Riley who used to play with Spectrum, the psychedelic off-shoot of the Spacemen 3.
New singer Louise Turner joins the DCs after singing on the Mercury Prize-winning & platinum-selling Elbow album ‘The Seldom Seen Kid’ while Spanish chanteuse Miri May recently sang backing vocals with King Mob featuring original Sex Pistol Glen Matlock before joining the group.
DC Fontana have also added a brand new and top quality horn section although all of them have played live with the band on numerous occasions in the past year.
