DADDYLONG LEGS, the rock n' blues group,
derives its moniker from its harmonica-blastin’ frontman.
Daddy
Long Legs, the aforementioned wailer, is joined by slide-guitar driving Murat Aktürk (born in Ankara,
Turkey) and legendary NYC trap master Josh Styles, who attacks his kit with a
whip and a maraca, although not necessarily in that order.
The trio has taken the music scene by
storm, with alarms sounding throughout the East Coast and reverberating across
the globe, as they cut through the mediocrity, directly into the meat of real
music—from the hip and to the heart.
Within
a few short months, DADDY LONG LEGS has taken to stages with the likes of the
Sonics, the Flamin’ Groovies, the Hoodoo Gurus, Lenny Kaye, Andy Shernoff, the
Legendary Stardust Cowboy, and Question Mark And The Mysterians. They have
burned down barrelhouse backrooms, afterhours nightspots, and legendary
locations like the famed Friars Club, NYC.
Their
rapid rise in popularity is based in their total lack of pretense-- all three
young men are seriously dredged in deep blues baconfat, seasoned, seared,
scored and tempered...and baptized in hotwired wine and brine.
Their
first Norton single, a raw reading of the Rolling Stones Cocksucker Blues,
coupled with The Under Assistant West Coast Promotional Man recorded with Andy
Shernoff at the helm and at the microphone, brought them to the forefront of
the local scene, even catching the ear of
Chicago R&B legend T Valentine, who promptly tapped the trio as his
band both onstage and in the studio. A much-awaited combined effort, THE
VAMPIRE, is due for release in November.
DADDY
LONG LEGS presents here their
debut full-length Norton label offering, EVIL EYE ON YOU, a showcase of the
trio’s finest original proclamations, set in a sparse black and white selection
that is meaty beyond definition.
DADDY
LONG LEGS is currently on tour in the US, with an overseas itinerary in the
works.
Keep
your evil ear on DADDY LONG LEGS. Else they put the EVIL EYE ON YOU.

WHAT
THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT... DADDY LONG LEGS
"Daddy
Long Legs is a man. A tall man. A tall, well-dressed, imposing man who blows
the harmonica as if breathing life and soul into Delta bluesmen long dead…
DADDY LONG LEGS, a trio of characters forging rock n' roll spectacle for the
eyes and ears, hearkening back to when troubadours drank moonshine and took
their role as entertainers more seriously."
“a
conduit for pure rock n roll”
-
Red Hook Star Revue
“Hands
down Daddy Long Legs is the best blues harmonica player this writer has ever
seen or heard. His playing is so pummeling and soulful it just saws you in
half.”
- The
Deli NYC Magazine
''In
addition to a deliciously unhealthy dose of harmonica, this Brooklyn trio’s
electrifying backwater blues is rounded out by primal drums and guitar, which
leaves room for singer Daddy Long Legs to belt out his musical sermon.''
