About
The Red Flags...
The Red Flags
are based around the inspired and original muse of songwriter Keith Mouland.
The songs are (very loosely) in the vein of alt. country / Americana,
and deal with pretty much every theme under the sun - all of human experience
is in there somewhere... The Red Flags are about
bringing these stripped-down acoustic pictures to life.
K.C. (Harry)
O'Shea
Harry
has been playing bass for more years than he cares to remember, in more
bands than he CAN remember. He has finally found his spiritual
home in The
Red Flags,
providing a nice fat upright cushion for Keith's inspired songwriting.
Harry's not as gobby as Keith, and so requires less space for his biog.
Keith Mouland
Hi folks, here's
a little musical history story.
Took early excursion as a kid, late sixties, early seventies with a couple
of blues/rock bands, fell in love with it all, started a journey into
collaborations, communal living, mansion with music room, festivals, driving
musos and their gear around in Morris Minor Traveller, bars, folk clubs,
covers bands, listening to a lot of music, saw a lot of bands, jams, blues
jams, kept an open mind, kept listening.
Got lost in the eighties, did a lot of house painting, had my first song
published, had it covered by a girl band.
Found it again, early nineties, wrote a lot of songs, drew on musical
sponge influences, diverse, too many to mention, mainly rootsy stuff with
it's feet in blues, folk, honky-tonk and heartsong country, psychedelic
rock and a good helping of songwriter muse. Started to really dig
the blossoming alternative country scene with its honesty and feel.
Wrote a lot of songs, recorded an ambient, psychedelic, alt. country album
Calaboose
(still on hold), got a publishing deal, had a reggae song published, recorded
a couple of rootsy country albums 1st Installment
and A to B, plus a compilation
from these two The Selection (Silver Records).
Recorded acoustic duo album with Paul Godden Walking
The Hills, found a home on Folkwit Records.
Met Harry, recorded Hundreds Of Sunshine
in his front room, became The Red Flags,
wrote a lot of songs, fell in love with it all, watch this space.
Keith.
