Gem High Quality -GHQ - Live [Weeds]

G.H.Q. was formed in 2005 in Yokohama, Japan.
The core members are long time partners and session musicians, A on vocals, Zeta on guitar, and Ariyan on bass, with the addition of Synji on drums and Yutaka on percussion and sound engineering.
In 2006, G.H.Q. was joined by a seasoned keyboardist Nobuhiko Shinohara, who was a member of Flower Travelling Band, a legendary Japanese band in the early 70s, and subsequently played with the likes of Jim Keltner (Plastic Ono Band), Buddy Miles (Band of Gypsys), Nigel Harrison (Blondie), Alan Merrill, Tetsu Yamauchi (Free, Faces), Morphine, Gota Yashiki, and many others from the domestic and international music scene.
With her charismatic voice, A seduces listeners into a spiritual journey through mellifluous and edgy guitar riffs, psychedelic Hammond sound, strong, dynamic bass lines and powerful and articulate rhythm section.
Currently G.H.Q. appears regularly at several clubs (capacity of approx. 100) in Yokohama and Tokyo area.

10年来、活動を共にして来たセッションミュージシャン、A/Vo、ZETA(セタ)/G、ARIYAN/Bを中心に、SYNJI/Ds、YUTAKA/Per, Mixを加えた5人によって 2005年、横浜で結成されたロックバンド。

2006年、新メンバーとして、70年代初頭伝説となったFlower Traveling Bandに在籍、その後、山内テツ(ex. Free, Faces)、Jim Keltner (ex. Plastic Ono Band)、Buddy Miles (ex. Band Of Gypsys)、Nigel Harrison (ex. Blondie)、Morphine、屋敷豪太、など、国内外の多くのアーティストとの共演を重ねて来た日本ロック界の重鎮、篠原信彦/Keyを迎え入れる。

重厚且つロジカルなリズム隊を核に、時にサイケデリカルにハモンドがうねり、危険な香りを放つギターと、ディーバの威光漂う強烈なヴォーカルが交差する。

魂は、" G.H.Q " の音のなかで進化し、高純度のエネルギーとなって、未来へと進んで行く。

Great song by a great band. Little known (as a group) here in Tokyo/Yokohama... Have seen them several times... Love them. Deserve to sell a lot of records. If you're new to GHQ, you'll need to stick with this video til quite near the end to really get a feel/hear what they're about. Sound quality on this video not good enough (obviously). Live, the way this song kicks off... Beautifu... Brings tears to my eyes.
