Listeners stepping into the world of The Provocative Whites should be ready for some “rock, rock, rock” since that’s what the fellows from Tucson, Arizona display prominently in their Web presence. Then there’s the tune “Danielsong.” This is nothing less than in-your-face rock. But wait, they also bring some of the roll. With this wide-open expression of taste and philosophy, the song does give us some indication of the talent in the band.
“Gone” is an almost joyful tune. Band members Mike Rowden (lead vocals/guitar), Kane Flint (lead guitar/vocals), James Few (drums/vocals) and Tadj Roi (bass/vocals) draw the listener in then finish with an aggressive adieu to yesterday and today. “Evolym” may be a great ballad someday, though not enough listeners have tuned in to give this song its due (yet). “Stuck Aboard” provides a close look at the individual talent in the band – Few’s drumming and the guitar work by Flint, along with the lead vocals that talk to you, literally. Try out “Bird in the Hand” for a taste of what these guys sound like.
Here’s what they say, “We are a hungry band from Tucson, AZ. Getting ready to take the next step towards world domination. The desire to bring back the true spirit of rock ‘n’ roll is foremost on our mind.”
Check ‘em out at Casa Grande Gay Day in September. They’ll probably be around at other venues before then too.
