TRICKY WOO: First Blush CD. sleaze + debauchery of the pre-hair metal 80s. + VIDEO.

Description

promo CD.

Forget the Darkness, Canadian retro-rockers Tricky Woo channel the sleaze and debauchery of the pre-hair metal ’80s without the aid of a killer falsetto and the requisite album-closing power ballad. The groups rise from blues-based, psychedelic garage band to full-time metal gods has not been without strife, as it took them four years and a breakup (lauded axe man Adrian Popovitch has returned to the fold) to conjure the blistering First Blush. From the very first notes of “Pink Thunder,” its clear that the boys from Montreal have their mojo back. Singer/guitarist Andrew Dickson, who channels the Cults Ian Astbury and David Lee Roth simultaneously throughout the record, sneers like a punk with biker ambitions, while Popovitch peppers the choruses with enough harmonic leads to please even the most discerning K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton (Judas Priest) fan. Fans who mourned the bands demise after 2001s woefully uneven Sables Magiques have reason to rejoice.

Tricky Woo: Andrew Dickson (vocals); Adrian Popovich (guitar); Alex Crowe (bass guitar); Patrick Sayers (drums).

5.0 out of 5 stars Tricky Woo Meets Van Halen,
I am a massive Tricky Woo fan and its good to see them back in fine form. They album has some furious, high energy Rock n’ Roll but with a touch of ’80s metal’ that they never had before. I’d compare it to Tricky Woo meets early Van Halen. I had the pleasure of seeing the new line up (with guitarist Adrian P. back in the fold) and they are better than ever….which is hard to believe since they were the best live band in Canada

5.0 out of 5 stars back to business
get right to it – this album is every bit as heavy and crazy as Tricky Woo ever has been. only difference is it sounds like they’ve been listening to a lot more metal. just about every song is a perfect Woo track. the first song isn’t that good – but after that, the songs reach fever pitch and stay there. Sometimes I Cry still serves as a better 1st Woo joint to pick up, but First Blush is like a gift to fans who have been waiting for more.
