about

Founded by Sarp Keskiner (vocal, guitar) and Bora Çeliker (vocal, guitar) in 2000, in order to present their versatile attempt to blend New Orleans grooves with 50’s and 60’s Latin American music and post-war Chicago blues; The Shrimps was one of a kind for sure in the Turkish blues community, by including the best musicians of the “cover” era. Thus, defined as a super-group by the audience as soon as it was massively promoted, the band had the ability to swiftly pitch around many genres. The band did not last after their debut performance but left this performance behind, which was recorded live in January 2000, at Radyo Cosmos, Istanbul. “So Worried” suggests us a unique design if Howlin’ Wolf had a chance to record a track with Omar Khorshid in Cairo or if he had employed Dick Dale in his band, in early 70’s.

[TR] Sarp Keskiner (vokal, gitar) ve Bora Çeliker (vokal, gitar) tarafından New Orleans’ın müzikal mirasıyla 50’lerin ve 60’ların Latin Amerikan müziğini Chicago Blues ile buluşturmak amacıyla 2000’de, İstanbul’da kurulan The Shrimps, kendi alanında dönemin önde gelen müzisyenlerini içermekle beraber, Türkiye’nin blues tarihinde eşine sık rastlanmayan bir harmanı temsil ediyor. Grubun Ocak 2000’de binlerce kişinin katılımıyla Park Orman’da gerçekleşen ilk ve son konserini duyurma amacıyla Radyo Cosmos’taki “Blues Makinası” programı için kaydedilen bu canlı performans, gruptan geriye kalan tek işitsel belge olarak biliniyor.

Sarp Keskiner: Vocal; rhythm, slide and lead electric guitar (fill in solos and 1st solo)
Bora Çeliker: Rhythm and lead electric guitar (2nd solo), harmonica solo
Burak Güngörmüş: Bass
Alp Esin: Bongos
Yusuf Tunceli: Drums

The Shrimps would like to thank to Erdinç Aydoğan, for his sincere efforts to promote the band.
