Instant Classics by Red Falcon / White Lightning
'Instant Classics' came together fast and furiously in the first 4 months of 2014. It marks RF/WL's first 'full band' recording with Rob & Jeff joined by members Hugh Wilson(guitar), Nelson Sobral(guitar), Kevin Jagger(drums), & (honorary member) Peter Gorman(keys).
Creativity and spontaneity abounded during the recording sessions, and each player elevated the songs with unique colours and textures yielding the bands finest work to date.
Wrapped in a conceptual radio format, 'Instant Classics' see's Red Falcon / White Lightning taking the reigns and pushing forward their quirky, hook laden sound that was established on their debut double album 'ROOTSY!!! ROCKY!!!! POWER!!! POPPY!!!!' in 2013.
