HAZMAT MODINE draws from the rich soil of
American music of the 20's and 30's through to the
50's and 60's, blending elements of early Blues and
Hokum, Swing, Eastern European music, New
Orleans R & B, Jamaican Rocksteady, and Rock &
Roll. The band is fronted by two harmonicas which
use call and response, harmony, melody, and
syncopated interweaving rhythms. The band
includes tuba, guitar, trumpet, and percussion,
sometimes claviola and Hawaiian steel guitar. The
band's sound reflects musical influences ranging
from Avant-garde Jazz to Rockabilly and Western
Swing to Middle-Eastern, African, and Hawaiian
music.
They started to perform in Europe summer 2007 with a festival tour and some club concerts. All club shows were sold out and most of the festival announced the band as best artist. They will perform after Womex another 10 European concerts, mainly festivals and their style of Blues, Worldmusic, Jazz hits audience and media people taste.
