Two Perth music luminaries, James Baker (Hoodoo Gurus, Beasts of Bourbon, Scientists) and Dom Mariani (The Stems, DM3, DATURA4) have come together to record a wonderful new single under the moniker of The James Baker Beat.
‘Friday Night Friends’ and ‘She Said (Bad Weekend)’ both penned by James and Dom are classic garage punk and pop fare which recall the rock and roll sounds and tradition of both the early Scientists and Stems.
They had been talking about a collaboration for some time and we’re so glad it finally came to fruition.
James Baker is unfortunately battling liver cancer. James is the backbeat, and the hammer and tongs drummer to the soundtrack of your misspent, angst-ridden youth – and let’s face it – to your modern day obsession of good music .
From one of the most influential punk anthems (Victims – Television Addict) ; to the pre-swamp pop n’roll leanings (The Scientists – ‘Frantic Romantic’/‘Last Night) ; to the tall-tale future of the term Australian Super Group (The Beasts of Bourbon – Axemans Jazz) ; to the highly celebrated timeless Oz rock classic (Hoodoo Gurus – Stoneage Romeos) – James Baker has no peers when it comes to a rock n roll curriculum vitae.
