To the unfamiliar observer, the Rigg may appear just like any other astonishingly talented collective of musical geniuses destined by fate to overwhelm all other contenders for History's ultimate title of Best Band Ever.........Ever!!!! However, such a bland and modest statement would be to fatally understate the importance of the band's makeup, history, and their fanatical collection of followers. Four persons, there are, comprising the Rigg. James Redhead, already marked out as a lyrical and philosophical master by his immediate family, does the singing. Ben Steel is the man to whom any decent lover of piercing riffs and hair-ruffling chord progressions would turn if they were in need of such a guitar-playing style. Simon Miller, the self-appointed chief commissioner and overlord of crockery-rattling bass runs, he reminds you not to be in the presence of his throbbing output unless your breasts are physically taped down. And Rob Kidd, the technically perfect embodiment of precision timing, so fiendishly accurate that not even the best drum machine can keep in time with him. He plays the drums. |
