BASSON LAUBSCHER & THE VIOLENT FREE PEACE Release Their First EP - SHAKEDOWN March 2014 sees the first official release from BASSON LAUBSCHER & THE VIOLENT FREE PEACE - a 7 track indomitable debut EP entitled SHAKEDOWN. The EP was recorded in full stereo sound at Sunset Recording Studios in Stellenbosch with legendary producer, Jurgen von Wechmar. The EP features a blend of music for every music fan’s taste: From hard rocking blues, country ballads and slow smokey blues to upbeat folk songs and dark muddy soundscapes - a collection Basson describes as quite scattered, but which still conforms to one big picture in the end. Basson took his time with the SHAKEDOWN EP to make sure to find musicians who had just the right kind of magic to fit into the collective. He also took his time with writing this new material by not forcing the creative process and give it his full dedication. The songs featured on SHAKEDOWN was written over the last two years, and recorded with Jurgen von Wechmar as engineer and producer at Sunset Recording Studios in Stellenbosch. He also collaborated with piano genius Riaan Niewenhuis, Marise Landman’s angelic voice, Johnathan Veldhuysen on the mandolin and the legendary Rob ‘Big Bob’ Nagel on the harmonica. Drummer Tim Rankin also tracked all of the drums on the EP. Basson describes his writing style as sketching a scenario or story with inspiration such as love, lost love, lust, good times, bad times and road trips. “I am very happy with this EP. All the mad sounds in my head finally got a resting place on the EP and I am proud that we took our time and made sure we do our first offering right. I think the EP is a good representation of our vibe and it also captures the raw blues we portray at our performances.” SHAKEDOWN EP Track Listing: Bad News Brother Cage Blues Killing Me Ramblin Man Shakedown Swamp Thing Download the SHAKEDOWN EP for FREE here on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud/basson-laubscher Physical copies of the EP will be sold at all shows.
