Back in 1995 at the time of the first The Herbaliser LP "Remedies", Ollie had been touring as a DJ to help promote the album. Jack was quick to point out that DJing was not the only (or most effective) way to maximise the potential of the record. Enter the band...hornists Lamb and Ross aka. the 'The Easy Access Orchestra' and fellow sessionistas Chris Bowden and Matt Coleman formed the brass frontline, with Kaidi 'Shocka' Tatham on classic keys. Moody and Dawes joined Wherry's bass to provide the rock solid rhythm section underpinning Teeba's scratches. And so The Herbaliser Band was born! | | URLs: | http://www.herbaliser.com/ | | Members: | Andy Ross (2), Chris Bowden, Jake Wherry, Kaidi Tatham, Matt Coleman, Mickey Moody, Ollie Trattles, Patrick Dawes, Ralph Lamb |
