super mega acojonantes!!!
Esto si q es MELODIC ROCK / A.O.R. d Verdad d la Buena!!!!
Know Illusion, Biloxi, Slyboyz...are all names of bands that pop into my head, whilst listening to the s/t album.Webster has an enigmatic voice that fluctuates between Mark De La Bretonne of ... D.O.X. and Axel Rose of Guns & Roses, but sits pretty well with the music." Back To Me" is their best track off Xavier, with a fine riff, and stabbing keys, that actually reminds me of some of the mid European bands like Merry N and Purple Heart. Check it out below. Hope to get "Full Circle" soon, so watch this space!
Band Members : Jason Webster - vocals, guitars
Tim Xavier Sears - lead guitar, vocals
Abe Guthrie - keyboards, synth bass, vocals
Jason Mcconnell - drums, percussion, vocals
Darren Todd - bass, vocals
Super Recomendadisimo!!
mas info antes...
parece q se grabo en el 91' oficialmente con 6 temas.. (aunq en el video ponga: "I think this was recorded in 1988. XAVIER was HOT! Abe Guthrie on keyboards, Tim Sears lead guitar and Randy Cormier on Drums ....")
Abe Guthrie If you’ve been to an Arlo Guthrie concert in the past 20 years it’s likely you’ve seen Abe’s great smile, heard his adept and tasteful keyboard a ...ccompaniment along with his powerful supporting vocals. In a recent interview Arlo was quoted: “Abe is a great musician and covers the bass for me, and what ever else I need.” It is rare to see an Arlo show with out Abe by his side.
Having natural talent, at age 3 Abe traded another neighborhood boy his Big Wheel for a keyboard. At age 11 he was kicked out of a piano lesson for playing Rock music! Abe’s first paying job at 15 was as David Bromberg’s guitar tech. Abe started performing professionally with his father in the early 80′s, playing transformational rock-ish keyboard solos during his father’s concerts with Shenandoah.
In the 80′s, he founded XAVIER with fellow band mates Randy Cormier and Timothy Sears. Various forms of Xavier have been found backing up Arlo on the road. Their first full-length CD, Full Circle, was released on Rising Son Records in 2000 and is now available at risingsonrecords.com and on Apple iTunes. Xavier is currently at work on a follow-up album.
Against his will and better judgment, Abe has also found himself performing with his sisters Cathy, Annie, and Sarah Lee as the G Babes (www.g-babes.net) . This unique family ensemble can be found at the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival in Okemah, OK for their annual performance (www.woodyguthrie.org).
A multi-faceted artist, Abe Guthrie has demonstrated his versatility by having a hand in many music projects worldwide. His varied roles have ranged from performance & studio musician, engineer, producer, graphic artist, and of course, Arlo’s right hand man on-stage and off.
Abe Guthrie is in great demand working with artists including David Bromberg, Rory Block, Bobby Sweet, Folk Uke (Cathy Guthrie and Amy Nelson’s band), Johnny Irion, Sarah Lee Guthrie, David Grover among many more.

Abe started performing professionally with his father in the early
80’s, adding a transformational rock-ish keyboard to Arlo’s concerts. Displaying his incredible sense of humor, he would occasionally show up on stage wearing spikes and chains (please note that this was cool in the 80’s).
In 1984, he founded the rock group XAVIER with fellow band mates Randy Cormier (drums/vocals) and Timothy Sears (guitar/vocals). Abe played keyboards covering all the bass parts with his left hand to complete their sound. In 1991, Arlo took Xavier on tour for the next 5 years as an opening act and backing band. They still gig together when schedules work out. Their first full-length CD, Full Circle, was released on Rising Son Records in 2000 and is now available at www.risingsonrecords.com and on Apple iTunes. Xavier is currently at work on a couple follow-up albums.
