Our record of the week Mark Radcliffe & Stuart Marconi (BBC Radio 2)I put it on and thought this is the stuff! Phil Jupitus (BBC Radio 4 and BBC 6 Music)The band I always wanted to be in... Jamie TLook through the lens of TOM MANSI & THE ICEBREAKERS and what will you see? A passion for the blues and raw rock n roll manifested in a band who have been playing together for the last 26 years.The three-piece have performed at many of the best venues and festivals across the UK and Europe, including Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, The Big Chill, The Scala and the Hammersmith Palais, and have shared the stage with Son of Dave, Imelda May, Florence & The Machine, The Sadies, Fat Freddies Drop and countless more across their career to date. As a double bassist Tom has worked with many different artists, touring with 60s folk singer Donovan, recording for British DJ duo ColdCut, preforming alongside Dr Hook at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul, and playing nightly in a surreal lecture tour with legendary film maker David Lynch.Together the three piece forge a unique sound, channeling in equal measure the rock'n'roll spirit of Sam Phillips' Sun Studios, the electric blues of Howlin Wolf, the bass-heavy jazz attitude of Charles Mingus, the noir themes ofTomWaits, and the electric energy of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Above all else, the super tight sound of the rock'n'roll, rocking blues, rhythm & blues and beyond thatTomMansi& The Icebreakers bring lights up the room like an arclight- a musical experience not to be forgottenThe band have had a BBC record of the week and their own full live appearance on Mark Lamarr's BBC Radio programme Gods Jukebox, which was included in the best of show for that year.
