Anybody heard of the band 16HP?

As in 16 HorsePower.

Not too many people have heard of them in the UK in my experience but I reckon they're brilliant. A kind of gothic gospel inspired kind of deep dark swamp rock blues... or something. Imagine the Bad Seeds from Louisiana, thoroughly recommended.

Thank you. Will check them out. :0)

Yep, same band Yello

Ah yes, Green on Red - a band I'm well fond of. For a while there, 'Gas Food Lodging' was on constant play on my walkman. I've not heard that track before cog, but it sounds very Neil Young!

Edit: just looking at Green On Red's discography, I realise I also have 'No Free Lunch'

[yello]

I'd like to watch that, sadly I can't access BBC's i player due to being in France. I know I could get around that by messing around with proxy server settings but....

You might want to hear Chuck Prophet's solo work Yello. All very good!

Oh and I've got 16 H.P.'s first E.P. on vinyl somewhere.
