Specs, Hot Dugs and Rock and Roll

Wang Dang Delta have evolved into one of the tightest bands on the Tayside scene and serve up an eclectic mix of self penned material together with classic blues and boogie from the likes of BB King, Robert Cray, Eric Bibb and Eric Clapton.

The 6-piece line up features guitarist Pete Caban together with top-drawer vocals, bass, drums, keyboards and harmonica from some of the finest blues musicians Perthshire has to offer. Ian McLaren’s songs demonstrate folk, jazz, roots, rock and funk influences and mean that an evening with Wang Dang Delta is an inventive and challenging proposition that pushes at the boundaries of blues music. The result is not without its moments of chaos and humour and should not be missed.

The band are currently writing and recording a CD of their original material and trying to fit in some gigs meantime. Next gig is on 14 May 2005 at the Birnam Institute Arts Centre, by Dunkeld. The Centre holds about 150 and was a sell out last time so here's hoping!

Welcome

This is the weblog of the "blues and beyond" band Wang Dang Delta, a 6 piece operating out of Perthshire in Scotland playing a heady mix of self penned material together with classic blues and boogie. The blog will be periodically updated with key events in the band's ongoing development. Watch this space.
