Pinnick Gales Pridgen

Pinnick Gales Pridgen is:

• dUg Pinnick - Bass and Vocals (King's X)
• Eric Gales - Guitar and Vocals (Eric Gales Band, Lauryn Hill)
• Thomas Pridgen - Drums (ex Mars Volta)

It’s often been said that three-piece bands are the most expressive and most balanced musical units known to the rock world. Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Rush, The Police, Primus … These legendary acts struck upon the correct ratio of musicianship and progressive songwriting by exploring uncharted musical territories while highlighting the individual talents within their collective ranks.

Now Magna Carta Records unveils Pinnick Gales Pridgen a visionary power trio (emphasis on power) and a supergroup to boot, which is sure to take its rightful place in rock’s hallowed halls.


Pinnick Gales Pridgen show some of their influences with their brilliant version of seminal power trio Cream’s “Sunshine Of Your Love”. Pinnick says, "Our version has a different vibe: it’s tuned down, real low.”

I haven't gotten it yet, but I have been following Eric Gales' commentary and clips on YT and FB.
I LOVE him! biggrin

Meh.

I dunno who Pinnick is. But Eric Gales isn't saying anything musically that hasn't

been said before in a pentatonic scale and Pridgen's pocket is too flashy for

me (plus he dogged my brother out, but that's another matter).

I'm sure that could be pinned on any number of guitarists in the Blues-Rock genre.
Personally, i'm more impressed by Eric's chord work, especially his approach to...



...Little Wing


IMO, dUg Pinnick is one of the best Rock vocalists out there and his main group King's X deserves a lot more attention.
