Graham Fenton's Matchbox • Rockabilly Rebel

 

Graham Fenton began his rock'n'roll career with the Houseshakers; did a lot of gigs and recorded a couple of albums with them. The band went through a personnel shuffle and re-emerged as the Hellraisers. More gigs and another LP, Demolition Rock, followed.

In 1976 the Hellraisers went their separate ways and Graham joined Matchbox. The band had been around for a little while and had already released a record, but were barely settin' the woods on fire, let alone setting the world alight! His addition was just what the band needed to build their reputation on the UK rock'n'roll circuit.

One of Graham's main inspirations has to be the legendary Gene Vincent and he incorporates many of Gene's vocal mannerisms in his singing, especially when he's showcasing a Vincent classic.

Graham Fenton empezó su carrera de rock'n'roll con los Houseshakers, con los que dio muchos conciertos y grabó un par de álbumes. El grupo cambió de personal y resurgió con el nombre de Hellraisers. Siguieron más conciertos y otro LP, Demolition Rock.

En 1976, los Hellraisers se separaron y Graham se unió a Matchbox. El grupo llevaba poco tiempo en activo y ya había publicado un disco, pero apenas incendiaba el bosque, ¡y mucho menos el mundo! Su incorporación era justo lo que la banda necesitaba para labrarse una reputación en el circuito del rock'n'roll británico.

Una de las principales inspiraciones de Graham es el legendario Gene Vincent, e incorpora muchos de los gestos vocales de Gene en su forma de cantar, especialmente cuando interpreta un clásico de Vincent.
