JIM BASNIGHT WE ROCKED AND ROLLED (2006)

Seattle native JIM BASNIGHT chased that rock n roll dream all the way to New York City and Los Angeles, California with his band THE MOBERLY'S back in the 1980s. At decades end, THE MOBERLY'S disbanded and BASNIGHT chose to move back to Seattle to reconnect. Bear in mind this was 1992, the year that the music industry descended on Seattle, made "grunge" a fashion statement and shined the light on a new set of rock legends like NIRVANA, PEARL JAM, ALICE IN CHAINS, and SOUNDGARDEN. Strange, that one of Seattle's own never broke through in the same way, given the fact that his embrace of garage rock/power pop was what defined THE MOBERLY'S sound in the eighties and viewed as a reference for many bands of that era and locale. BASNIGHTS twenty five years of music making are about to be catalogued into a CD retrospective entitled, WE ROCKED AND ROLLED: 25 YEARS OF JIM BASNIGHT, THE MOBERLY'S AND BEYOND (BETTER THAN YOUR RECORDS). Judging by his extensive catalogue, this retrospective promises to be a voyage through everything thing that makes rock n roll fun, with the garage power pop of THE MOBERLY'S and his other band THE ROCKINGHAMS to the jazzier-acoustic feel of THE JIM BASNIGHT THING, and the BEATLES-meets- THE BEACH BOYS-meets-THE KINKS and everything in between feel (with every instrument imaginable) of his latest group THE JIM BASNIGHT BAND. This is certainly one of the most over-looked catalogues in the ever-winding history of rock and popular music, but with all that BASNIGHT gives in his live performance and the ceaseless enthusiasm of his latest label, something is about to happen.
