nasser bouzida: Vocals, Keyboards, Drums & Percussion trevor harding: Guitar scott milsom: Bass Guitar & Double Bass  full english beat breakfastThe long awaited third album from Big Boss Man; ‘Full English Beat Breakfast’ is released from September 2009.
Recorded by the band at their 8-track ramshackle studio and mixed by Nick Terry (Klaxons, SMD) at Studio 2 at The
Premises, Hackney, London. Big Boss Man have been described by Russian TV as "the Worlds hottest Hammond beat
group" and currently hold the record for the longest drum break at the 2007 World Breaks & Beats Festival in Helsinki. Not
wishing to let this go to their head they thought it was high time they got back into the studio to complete album number
three. They got down to business after finally getting over their collective hangover from their mini-tour of Tinkoff Brewery
music venues in some of the more remote parts of Russia. The locals treated them to a touch of Beatlemania with clothes
being ripped off and the band had to have security at all times, not that they’re complaining! about big boss manBig Boss Man formed in 1999 when three long time friends Nass, Trev and Scott, got together for some Hammond heavy action. They released their album debut ‘Humanize’ (Blow Up) in 2001 which precipitated a wave of interest in the band, and
was a clear definition of the BBM sound: a hip Hammond hybrid of 60's and 70's drenched R’n'B, Funk, Latin, Jazz,
Soul and Pop. The album went on to be used exclusively as the soundtrack for the 2002 BAFTA nominated short film‘Sweet’ featuring The Mighty Boosh (Big Boss Man performing in the nightclub sequences in the film), as well as tracks appearing on numerous compilations. Party 7 from Humanize was featured in the Thierry Henry and Eric Cantona NIKE
WORLDCUP worldwide advert in 2006 and subsequently released as a limited single. Their 2005 follow up ‘Winner‘ (Blow Up) was
produced by the band and Morgan Nicholls (The Streets / Muse / Gorillaz). Morgan (the son of Immediate Records’ inhouse
songwriter Billy Nicholls), had a studio choc-full of groovy stuff: The Who’s Hammond, Steve Marriott’s first guitar,
Clavis and Wurlis, all of which were put to good use on the album which continued the trip from where Humanize left off -
through 60’s Funk, along the way taking in Bongo/Fuzz, Latin Soul, French Beat, Boogaloo and general Hammond/Moog mentalness everywhere else! remixesBBM also found time to work their magic on a re-mix of Japanese sensation Mansfield's track "If I Want It" for his album "Golden Hour", as well as reworking an obscure 60's cult Euro TV theme, "Robbi, Tobbi..." for Germany's Diggler records. Most recently, BBM were requested to provide two remix versions of Paul Weller's UK Top 20 hit The Bottle (2004), both of which featured on a limited 7"-only version of the single which sold out on the day of release (and is now doing a roaring trade on E-bay!). The band have also featured on numerous compilations. (See releases on which BBM feature here). other projects You may also know Nasser as his alter-ego The Bongolian, a dirty funk driven solo project for Blow Up which saw him exploring his talents as a multi-instrumentalist, writing, recording and performing his eponymous long-player all by himself. Loaded magazine said: "one of the best British funk releases in years. Pay attention, Jay Kay." Although having all bases covered on record, it's simply not possible to play everything live, so amongst others Nasser has enlisted Trevor for the live shows. |
