TOBY
JEPSON BLASTS BACK ON THE ‘ROCK ‘N’ ROLL’ SCENE WITH A NEW SOUND,
NEW BAND AND INNOVATIVE MUSIC RELEASING CONCEPT.
Building
on his incredibly successful initial career as singer-songwriter with
‘Little Angels’ and more recently as special guest to THUNDER and
subsequent headlining solo shows through 2006-2007, Toby and his band are
back and heavier than before.
For
almost ten years, Toby Jepson was the Lead Singer/Main Songwriter for
British Rock Band, THE LITTLE ANGELS, a band best remembered for anthemic
songs and incendiary live performances.
Along the way, the band produced three excellent albums, crossed
the boundary between Rock and Pop, and performed on some of the largest
stages with some of the biggest bands of their day, (Bon Jovi, Van Halen,
ZZ Top and Bryan Adams to name but a few), and had some of the UK’s top
music legends queuing up to guest with them on stage (like The Who’s
Roger Daltrey for example). Not
bad for an eighteen year old kid….
Anyway,
once THE LITTLE ANGELS had run their course, TOBY JEPSON took some time
off just to catch up on what he had missed out on in terms of friends and
family, also taking time to travel and actually see some of the world.
The whole idea behind this was to develop his inspiration for a
whole new set of songs. Once
he retuned from his travels, TOBY set about shaping his solo career.
With his new band, TOBY AND THE WHOLE TRUTH, he released the
critically acclaimed “Ignorance Is Bliss” and set about touring in
support.
The
tour was a great success, and during this tour, TOBY and the band worked
so hard that something had to give, and it was his health.
TOBY had also been managing himself, and was the man responsible
for making sure everyone got paid and that everything ran smoothly.
This was the sort of thing TOBY had always been in the fortunate
position to have someone to do for him, so it was, at this stage, too much
for young shoulders to carry. After
the tour he was forced to take a long break to recuperate, so TOBY took
some time off to spend with his new family, and got involved in promoting
some shows as well. This all
kept his hand in the game whilst he was able to focus exactly on the
direction he wanted to take as an artist.
A
guest spot with Bryan Adams encouraged TOBY JEPSON to put a new band
together to write and record some material, so TOBY set about creating
songs in his own studio, but still with no clear plan as to what to do
with them. That being said, a
casual approach from VAN HALEN about replacing the recently departed Sammy
Hagar, left TOBY in no doubt that he still wanted to perform live in some
capacity.
Whilst
working on the material, TOBY also managed to indulge in his other
passion. Always a movie buff,
caused by endless hours spent on tour buses and in hotels, TOBY was
spending time acting, with many movies and TV shows to his credit,
Gladiator, Band of Brothers, Sleepy Hollow, Casualty and Playing The
Field, to name just a few. However, TOBY's passion has always been about
music, and with the shift in trends towards established artist's
re-launching themselves, it had to be all about careful planning. The response from
fans, old and new, when it was announced that TOBY JEPSON would be special
guest on the recent THUNDER tour of the U.K. proves that now is the
time!
Since
the success of the THUNDER tour, as well as a headlining tour in his own
right, TOBY has written and recorded his new album.
Simply entitled, GUITAR, BASS and DRUMS, it does exactly what it
says on the tin. Raw,
emotional Rock ‘n’ Roll, no gimmicks or studio tricks.
Every single song can be played live if he wants to, and he
probably will. Released in 3 parts, each one a 5 track EP, GB&D will
be packaged in a limited edition 3 disc sleeve.
A
much anticipated and welcome new introduction is former T’Pau/Ian
Gillan/Bad Company Guitarist DEAN HOWARD. His truly awesome playing has
given the new songs much gravitas.
‘Dean
came to the first rehearsal and just nailed it, he’s such a powerful
player, no frills, just an immense sound’
With a new band, including DAVE BOYCE on Bass, and Drummer, ANDERS LUENGO joining DEAN, TOBY JEPSON intends to put the Great back into Great British Rock!
