Red Hot And Blue VIII

 

Everything comes to an end, and this little series is no exception. Before I find even more obscure songs that have the colors mentioned in their titles, I will stop here. Finally, here are a few bands that have red, blue or hot in their names. 

Red Rockers were a former punk band from New Orleans but turned into pure twangy power pop guitar sound.

I couldn't resist to feature Hot Chocolate at this place.

 

The Screaming Blue Messiahs were built by Bill Carter on the ruins of Motor Boys Motor in the early eighties. They transported classic guitars into the new wave scene and made fun at these days.

Purchased (Not Only) By The Cover

In the early 80's guitarist Bill Carter formed a classic three piece band Motor Boys Motor and released only a self titled album after they split. The cover showed a snake man and I have to admit that it was pretty disgusting in days before they sent C-socialites into the jungle to eat worms. The band plays a Captain Beefheart inspired heavy blues. Carter plays a rhythmical, hard and feedback-drenched blues with a grabbing electric slide guitar combined with the staccato-like barked speech of Tony Moon. After the split of Motor Boys Motor Carter formed Screaming Blue Messiahs and got more critical acclaim than his former band.

The bands name was borrowed by Joe Strummer's 101ers and worth to feature this song.
