In various incarnations, The Electric Yard Dogs have been performing in Hanoi for over five years. Original members Jez Hartley and Simon ‘Otis’ Redington, who hail from the ‘70s London Punk Rock scene, have now been joined by Le Havre rocker Ricardo Canu on drums and Louisiana wildcat Scott ‘Shyboy’ Reynolds on Blues harp in a new revitalised Rockabilly, Rock’n’Roll outfit.
The music is a highly dance-able mix of fast rock, rhythm and swing, a style reminiscent of Dr Feelgood, the Texas Bar Room Blues of Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Fabulous Thunderbirds with a touch of Chuck Berry and Jimmy Reed thrown in for the hell of it!
Apart from local music venues around town in Hanoi, the band also tour regularly down south to Danang, Saigon and Phnom Penh where they have an increasing reputation for doing what they do best: Electric Blues with Soul & Style!
Here’s a recent a youtube link to the band performing ‘Bright Lights, Big City’:
