| On Saturday I took another stroll down Portobello Road on a freakishly warm mid October day. And just as I was about to exit The Market I came across this very talented new but unsigned band called ThisBandUK. And they comprise of two very talented Brazilian born twins Lourenco and Tomas Amorim. And every now and then their Portuguese Father Lorenzo would join in with a bit of percussion and vocal backing. And making up the foursome is Bassist Elea. It was as I was about to leave the Market I suddenly heard the strains of Pink Floyd's 'Comfortably Numb' that drew me to what I thought was a CD and Vinyl stall. But no, I came across a small crowd watching this little band performing one of their several Pink Floyd covers. Clearly influenced by their Father Lorenzo's excellent taste in music, the boys clearly appreciate all of those great Rock legends from that golden age of music that gave us Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, just to mention a few. Luckily I just caught the end of their act with their last number plus an encore of Comfortably Numb which I managed to video with my phone, although it does end rather abruptly. That video is below here. The boys along with their Father and bassist Elea have appeared around many of London's tourist spots including Brick Lane, Portobello Road, Brixton as well as Oxford Circus. Several of of their videos can be seen on their Facebook page.
