Big Linda is 22 year old Rob Alder (born in Bishop Stortford, voice like a young Jim Morrison), Patrick Murdoch (born on the Wirral, grew up occasionally in Hong Kong, a guitarist like no other), Vezio Bacci (born in Rome, sophisticate bassist) and Geoff Holroyde (born in Peterborough, hair by Rock Manes Inc, possibly the best drummer since Bonham or Moon) and their story goes like this: Holroyde bumped into Murdoch at Metropolis Studios where they decided to jam together. Producer Andy Wright subsequently introduced the pair to a mystery man who offered to fly them both to Antigua to record some songs at the island’s palatial Pelican Lodge Studios. Blithely, brilliantly they agreed, thereby necessitating a course of events that would see them bump into Bacci at Antigua’s main airport terminal. They recorded nine songs in the hills, came up with an amazing name (after hearing that their mysterious benefactor occasionally, ahem, corresponded with a Madame with just such a name) and then came home. Back home and some time after this, Holroyde noticed the quiet, unassuming Alder locked in his own thoughts in a corner of Townhouse Studios. He looked like a young Jim Morrison and something about him made Holroyde wonder whether he sounded like him too. And when Holroyde heard him sing, Big Linda knew they had their man.
For the record, Alder has a voice that can blow a room apart and Big Linda are a band with tunes and choruses that are set to mark a generation. Naturally, there’s no such thing as generation anymore but when you hear them you will know what we mean. And what we mean is that they are seriously, passionately non Year Zero.
Big Linda already have songs placed in two forthcoming feature films – a cover of The Who’s The Seeker for the major Fox feature movie The Seeker starring Ian McShane and Christopher Ecclestone (due for worldwide release on 19th October) and ‘Get It While You Can’ which is included in the Ewan Macgregor movie ‘The Tourist’ due at the end of the year.
