Bourbon. Cowboy hats. Smoke-blowing pick-up trucks. More bourbon. Notorious saloon bars...
You get the picture pretty much - the 700 Machines play bad-ass 70's-inspired southern rock music that can blow your minds off in an instant. As stated by the band members themselves:
"Formed in 1999, their sound is an explosive Rock 'N' Roll cocktail combining revolutionary Detroit Proto-Punk, Motown Soul, Aussie Punk, 60's Garage Punk, psychedelic and 70's Hard Rock."
I need not say much more about their influences - think Lynyrd Skynyrd and Nashville Pussy drinking and jamming together...They also come from Athens, GR (as do the excellent garage-sounding girl group, the Meanie Geanies - respect to Athens R n'R!) and I personally saw them live supporting the (also excellent) Backyard Babies in March 2007.
More info, as well as MP3 samples and downloads can be found on their Myspace page.
