The Pepper Pots, Don't Mess Up A Good Thing

The Pepper Pots are a Spanish soul band, respectively from Catalonia and were created in 2002 with the idea of bringing back the sound and style of the 60s bands.

The band is composed by Adriana Prunell, Aya Sima and Marina Torres - on vocals, Luiggi King - on guitars, Ireneu Grosset - on keyboards, Enric Fluvià - on bass guitar, Joan Vergés - on drums, Tomy Muñoz - on tenor sax, Gerard Xifra - on baritone sax and Roger Montsant - on trumpet.

With several released work, Train To Your Love was their last album to be released, marking a big step on the band's career keeping the "old school" sound of the best soul album of the 60's.
The album was recorded on their own studio Black Pepper Studio using analog techniques and instruments similar to the considered to be "Golden era" of soul. The mixing was made by Bob Ohlsson, who worked with Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye or The Temptations.
Train To Your Love reminds a lot of The Supremes and Jackson 5's sound influenced by their unique talent.

The EP Time and Place is a collaboration between The Pepper Pots and the american soul singer Eli "Paperboy" Reed. The EP is a result of a long "dream" from both bands that became true last May, with the release of Time and Place - a record of their own versions mixing "the rugged soul of the American star and the silken Motown sound of the Catalans".

This video is from the recent EP Time And Place. Don't Mess Up A Good Thing is an original song from 1965 by Fontella Bass, an American soul singer.

"Don't you be no fool
Don't you be no fool
You gonna keep on
Fooling around now, baby
You're gonna mess up a good thing
You're gonna mess up a good thing"

The Pepper Pots are performing next February in Plano B, Porto and Arte & Manha, Lisboa, respectively on 24th and 25th.
