Southside Aces – The Big Beat

The Southside Aces release The Big Beat! Our very first album! As in this exists on vinyl!! This is a party album. Play it during your next party, not the fancy chandelier type party, but maybe the one where there is laughing and it goes late.

This was fun to record, I used my Epiphone Triumph into some amp that John Miller the engineer had, no idea what it was, my Dupont Petite Bouche and even my Gibson ES-350T on a track, fun! All the guys sound great and it was a blast to make this recording.
