THE JUKE JOINT PIMPS boogie the house down- juke joint style! A two pice Boogie Blues act that presses the shit out of your asshole like no one before..

drums and guitar, Elmore James style boogie Blues recorded with one mikrophone only... T-Man and Mighty Mike live in the Cologne area in Germany.

They had been playing blues for years in various bands before joining forces in the Silvertones in 2003, playing Chicago blues with an attitude.

They recorded an album in Belgium and played two tours in Russia. It seems impossible to clearly define just exactly when the Juke Joint Pimps came into being.

Maybe some time in '04. Mike and T-Man had been teaming up with an upright bass player to rock some private students parties, got hired for a couple of shows in local bars, picked up hitting the drums while losing the bassist along the way and suddenly they were there, two blues guys wearing white pin stripe suits, red shoes and jewellery, blasting rough juke joint music for everybody who cared to dance or listen.

A two-man band with drums, harmonica, guitar and a voice that can shatter glass - pretty much all you really need to play music sounding like Elmore James, Howlin' Wolf, North Mississippi Hill Country Blues and Reverend Charlie Jackson.

Within very little time the Juke Joint Pimps have evolved into a unique act. "Black" enough sounding to cater to a traditional blues audience while being so wild, loud and raw that the punk rockers and garage freaks dig them just as much.

And they're really truckloads of fun to watch!
