The Breadmakers "Cool" 1996

Timothy Gassen describes the sound of the Breadmakers as "mid-60s styled white R&B, heavily influenced by the British R&B scene of The Downliners Sect and Pretty Things. The sixpiece plays it pretty purist and straight, with some tasty harmonica and piano adding spark and flavor."

Breadmakers were the house band of Corduroy, when Corduroy existed. Band and label were creatures of Nicky Shutdown, as well as the Puritans, Driveaway Service and Shutdown '66, all monsters freed from Nick's imagination to give vent to his love for the racy sound of the sixties. A love that must never be completely passed, if on the threshold of old age the good Nick decides that it is time to reform the band - Franco "Lys" Dimauro
