Little Hat is coming at you with some brand new finger snapping tunes, recorded live in the studio. The gospel-styled doo wop “One More Kiss” features Paolo and Willem on backing vocals and a short but intense harmonica solo by Machiel. His wah-wah-rmonica is more prominently featured on their adaptation of Wild Child Butler’s “Jelly Jam”. Turning it into a countrified boogaloo, Willem plays a cool guitar solo one this one! Finally up to speed the band delivers a fast new orleans rock ’n roll with “My Goose Is Cooked”. Don’t blink, or you’ll miss it. Enjoy!!

Little Hat – Biography
Imagine yourself cruising down the highway with a beat on the radio that won’t let you take your foot off the gas. The drums keep stomping and the guitar is smoking like a Mississippi hay fire. Cops may try to stop you, but they’ll never get you. The vocals roar “catch me if you can”, while the harmonica squeals away like a mock-siren. Little Hat offer a perfect combination if you’re looking for some risk!

Machiel Meijers (Stackhouse) sounds raw and passionate on vocals and harmonica. This couples well with the primitive yet masterful guitar sounds of Dutch Blues Hall of Fame inductee Willem van Dullemen (Groovetones). Four on the floor, ace drummer Paolo de Stigter’s (Dr Velvet) right foot will make you forget there is no bass player in this outfit. It may be tempting to think that lack of bass means lack of power, but make no mistake: this alternative power-trio keeps on rocking so you can keep on rolling! Close your eyes and you can almost see a mean looking one-man band playing a relentless groove in the last remaining corner of a noisy barndance.

Releasing debut-album ‘Wine, Whiskey and Wimmen‘ and winning the Dutch Blues Challenge have opened the way for the band. Their second album “Rocking this joint tonight” is also produced by Little Victor and picks up where they left off: a search for everything rare and sleazy. Think forgotten Louisiana dirt roads and jukejoints at last call. So hold on to your hats, and get ready to shift into high gear!
