The Excitements

A 12 track soul album (32m 23s) — released May 9th 2011 on Penniman Records

Do you love elegant, sophisticated music with a feeling, as much as raw, gutsy, hard-hitting music? Guessing that you do Penniman Records takes great pride in introducing you to The Excitements, because their music fits into both categories. They are an ALL NATURAL free-of-additives-and-preservatives R&B / Soul band. A band with both feet solidly planted on Memphis and Detroit, and with a heartbeat which is pure Chicago. To put it simply, The Excitements are what the doctor ordered: six dynamite musicians intent on bringing out the very best from Koko Jean Davis' extraordinary voice, a voice which will either break your heart or astonish your ears, whatever Koko fancies the most. The Excitements' career is truly awesome. Their first gig took place in July 2010, and a month after that the band embarked on the first of their three recording sessions, their first Spanish tour and a series of concerts all across Europe. Very few groups can boast of enjoying such a critical success, selling so many 45s and capturing such a loyal following in so short a time. Their splendid first album, "The Excitements" - available on vinyl and CD - has been produced by the great Mike Mariconda - the only living man with a direct connection between his ears and his crotch. Hearing is believing, and Koko and her partners are bound to mesmerize with numbers such as Nathaniel Mayer's "From Now On", Barbara Stephens's "Wait a Minute" and Little Richard's "Never Let You Go", a track which will go straight to your heart. You may call them old-fashioned. A classic sound, if you wish. One thing is clear: the good stuff is here to stay. Stop reading, listen to The Excitements and hear for yourself.
