Nine years after their last reunion concert, Oakland California’s legendary
mod blues quartet The Loved Ones are back with a limited run of live
appearances and plans for a new full-length LP! The classic lineup of Xan
McCurdy (Cake), Michael Therieau, John Kent, and Bart Davenport is (with
a little help from producer Nick Waterhouse) set to deliver the rawkus 60s
sound they are known for with some unexpected twists and turns in
writing and arrangements. Previous reunion shows in both the US and
Europe drew gleeful capacity crowds and all signs point to all-out Loved
Ones-mania once again!
The Loved Ones formed in 1990, a veritable supergroup of the West Coast
mod scene, performing with an esthetic and energy akin to early Yardbirds.
Soon after that, original Chicago blues would become a major influence
while touches of garage rock, Memphis soul, and New Orleans R&B also
made their way into the group’s sound. The Loved Ones signed with
Hightone Records in 1992, releasing two LPs and a single over the next
two years. They hit the road in the US, touring every region of the country
and opening for the likes of John Lee Hooker, Junior Wells and Ann
Peebles. Europe followed with tours of Spain, France, and the
Netherlands.
The group officially split in 1995 with a sold-out farewell concert at San
Francisco’s Great American Music Hall. Lead guitarist Xan McCurdy would
eventually join Cake and is still with the hit-making band today. Bassist
Michael Therieau and drummer John Kent spent several years in country
rock outfit, Dave Gleason’s Wasted Days and are both current members of
Wellsprings LTD. Singer Bart Davenport has released eight solo albums. All
four Loved Ones have returned to the stage together many times over the
years but this year marks a return to writing and recording as a unit. Their
undeniable chemistry combined with decades of experience apart should
make this next release no less than masterful.
