Texas Boogie Band- Layin On Da Drum

Layin On Da Drum
Chop Top Mercury 49

near Texas, four guys dream of warmer climes. From way up in the chilly north of Sweden, blues are in a rockin' mode, inspired by the likes of ZZ Top. Rest assured, there's some hard riffing raising temperatures in their Scandinavian studio.

musical project from far up north in Sweden. Started as a test recording and is now a still on-going project. Texas Boogie is based on the interchange between the songwriter Roger Enquist and the sound engineer/producer Lars kastberg.

At the moment we are working with our second album which is scheduled to be relased later this year. We are still a unsigned band, but�record companies has shown interest.

The members in the project comes from different backgrounds: Roger Enquist is the songwriter and mind behind the project. He started playing the bass as a 12-year old kid in a local progressive pop band, called "Alfa-Laval", way back in the 70:ies. He left the band together with his older brother after just a few years. In the middle of the 80:ies he and his brother Sören, formed a ZZ Top cover band called "Tres Hombres", and they played on motorcycle clubs and dicoteques. Tres Hombres made their last gig in the summer of 1990 and then Roger took a long break from the music. The former members used to get together one time every each year playing some of that good ol' songs from the past, until the year of 2000, when Roger started to write his own songs. The songs was inspired of the years in Tres Hombres, so the blues and Texan rock was to be the cornerstones in his songwriting.
