Dom's live troup, Supro are essentially a vehicle to showcase songs written over the past 2 years for the new release solo album "Electro Vee" (September 2000 release through Shock records) The sound is definitely blues based, with a heavy electric slide guitar focus, however, surf sounds, bayou, delta and zydeco creep in creating more of an eclectic mix that any one genre. Alongside tracks with Supro, are world music compositions by Dom Turner with Zo, essentially a mix of dub, blues with a flavour of Asia.

Joining Dom in the live gig format are:

bassist Dave Harding (Red Rivers and the Rockettones) and keyboardist, Alison Penney (ex Hippos).

 

Look out for Dom Turner live and on album with Backsliders, Supro and Zo.
