"Magnificent, Timeless Rock 'n' Roll" is what they call it.
How To Win At Life, founded in the year 2000 by singer/guitarist Benjamin Leon and keyboardist Joseph Morais, has played in clubs all over California, from BB Kings in LA to Blake's in Berkeley. Although the band has consistently played with talented musicians in its rhythm section, How To Win At Life has truly arrived this year with the combination of the brawn and fluid grace of Chris Wiebe on the bass, and the ebullient majesty of Greg Ogan on the drums. Representing hometowns in both the West and East Coasts, their fans span the nation and are growing in significant numbers daily through word of mouth and Internet communities.
What, or whom, do How To Win At Life sound like? Naturally, comparisons will be drawn for every emerging band, but to give you an idea of the difficulty of their classification, here are a few that they have heard over the years: Queen, Jeff Buckley, Elvis Costello, The Flaming Lips, Pink Floyd, James, and Rufus Wainwright. Ultimately, of course, none of these somewhat disparate comparisons ever quite arrive at the singular musical magic they make. On disc, they will carry you away with the uncensored beauty, love, and sadness they have captured. Live, they will stagger you with their powerful sound. At the end of the day, this is a band you will remember.
How To Win At Life. You can call it "Magnificent, Timeless Rock 'n' Roll" if you like. Better yet, listen for yourself and add to the list of descriptives and the ever growing legion of fans. |
