Though perhaps best known for their timeless instrumental mega-hit 'Pick Up the Pieces' \; the band's strength actu ally lay in their consistently accomplished song- \; writing\, stretc hing across several gold selling albums and multi- grammy \; nominati ons for the legendary Atlantic Records. Somewhat incongruously\, given th eir Scottish roots\, the six piece took the influences of their R&\;B heroes - people like Marvin Gaye\, James Brown\, Donny Hathaway and other s - and developed their own 'authentic' sound which was eagerly adopted by black audiences in the US and elsewhere. Whilst a good number of cuts - 'Cut The Cake' and 'Let's Go Round Again' to name but two - attracted c hart action as hit singles\, many other album tracks\, like 'Schoolboy Cr ush' and 'Stop The Rain' \; became much sampled and turn tabled 'rare' grooves. Many more tunes\, such as 'Cloudy'\, 'A Love Of Your Own' and 'Nothing You Can Do' - amongst many others- stand alongside some of the f inest soul 'album tracks' ever recorded. \n \;\nThe current line-up of the band with noted US recruits Klyde Jones and Rocky Bryant augmenting founder members Alan Gorrie and Onnie McIntyre continues to record and to ur around the world to ongoing critical and audience acclaim.\n\nAs one r eviewer in England last month wrote\, "\;their storming set cemented the fact that veterans or not\, AWB remain the unchallenged kings of UK F unk."\;\n \; \nAll this and more is perfectly illustrated in the b and's latest release 'Times Squared' which showcases the breadth and dept h of the Band's material\, all captured within the excitement of a 2009 l ive performance' DTSTART:20121113T200000 DTEND:20121114T235959 DURATION:PT3H LOCATION:Oakland SUMMARY:Average White Band END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
