Songwriter &amp; front man Mat Hammond teamed up with bass player Steve Flores and long-time friend and producer Robbie Watson with a collection of songs that would form the lifeblood of the band and work began immediately on the arrangement and recording of the bands debut, &#8220;This is&#8230;..Eurovox&#8221;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Flores and Hammond have paid their dues careering through the usual gamut of bands that helped them hone their respective crafts. Indeed, they had already worked together in a previous capacity as half of Living Daylytes, a band that had received critical acclaim and toured extensively throughout the United States.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>London born and bred, Hammond brings his particular and personal slant to the proceedings having been weaned on the best of British from the last four decades.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Although raised in the sunny, southwestern United States, Flores has a uniquely European attitude towards his music. He compliments the songwriting style that is inherently eurovox with a comprehensive education of both British and American rock and roll.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Hammond and Flores decided the time had come to make an album on their own terms without diluting the mixture with too many cooks. As multi-instrumentalists, Hammond and Flores took it upon themselves to record the tracks under the direction of master chef (read:&#8221;producer&#8221;), Watson who, as a Londoner himself, understands the culinary art that is British pop.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>With the record completed and the addition of drummer Jeff Tellez Eurovox is currently engaged in serving up the fruits of their labor to a hungry public on a nightly basis.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Ladies and Gentlemen, dinner is served&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BEN-CD-008 &#8211; March 15, 2007 Tracks: 1.
