Vodka and Peroxide

The Civil Tones are BACK! Their third cd for Pravda Records is a great continuation of their soul-groove, jazzy influenced 60's vibe that they have perfected on all three of their cds. Vodka and Peroxide takes sudden twists and turns in tempo, feel, and style all within a catchy groove and Hammond organ laced melody.

Recorded in their home town of St. Louis, Vodka and Peroxide adds horn arrangements to the guitar stylings of Robin Allen and organ grooves of John Holt. The rhythm section of Dave Hilditch on bass and John Kosla on drums rounds out the groove that sometimes reminds you of an old record on Stax out of Memphis. The trademark Civil Tones sound has been featured on many television programs such as The Osbournes, Real World, Sex and the City, and Surf Girls. This cd is a guaranteed good time. So pour yourself a dry martini and enjoy!

Soul Bucket

Have you ever slapped a record on your old turntable, hit play, and suddenly lost all control of your body, then found yourself sweating on the dance floor, uncontrollably shaking your money-maker? Did your lack of rhythm, style, coordination make you look like a complete fool? Did you dig the groove so much that you didn't care? Well, if you answered YES to any of these questions, then the new long-player Soul Bucket by The Civil Tones is for you! Soul Bucket will go down as the hottest "get off your ass and dance record" of the year!!!

The Civil Tones are back! The boys from St. Louis stocked the pond full of soul-soaked R&B instrumental grooves and pulled out some fresh catches. The Civil Tones mix together southern soul from the 60s (stuff you might find on old Stax or Hi records labels), early funk, latin grooves, and surf sounds, with arrangements that take sudden twists and turns in tempo, feel, and style. Hey, and they don't have a pretty-boy, ego-inflated lead vocalist to get in the way, but take the most melodic and catchiest parts of their Hammond organ, bass, guitar and drums to fuel the "Civil Tone" sound.

OK, enough talkin', now put Soul Bucket in that CD player and start groovin'!!!
