Fondé au Tennessee par MIKE ESTES en 2004 après son départ de LYNYRD SKYNYRD, SKINNY MOLLY est logiquement labellisé "Southern Rock" et s'adresse aussi bien au public Rock, Blues, Hard Rock voir Country tant sa musique est riche. Mike Estes rejoint BLACKFOOT au poste de chanteur/guitariste en 2010 mais ne lâche pas Skinny Molly pour autant et fin 2012, le second album HAYRWIRE RIOT sort en Europe sur le label Blues RUFF RECORDS. Les chroniques sont excellentes et le groupe joue pour la 1ere fois en France en novembre (notamment au New Morning à Paris). Les compositions de Mike Estes sont des plus efficaces sur disque et elles deviennent redoutables sur scène grâce à la passion qui habite qui les membres du groupe : Mike Estes donc (Guitare, chant); Jay Johnson (Guitare et chant, Ex Rossington band, ex Blackfoot), Kurt Pietro (Batterie, Ex Blackoot) et Luke Bradshow (Basse). Sur scène le groupe interprète les meilleurs morceaux de ses deux albums ainsi que les tubes de leurs anciens groupes : Lynyrd Skynyrd et Blackfoot. « DU LOURD ET DU BON ! » Guitare Extreme Janvier 2013 « L’ancien guitariste des Lynyrd Skynyrd est phénoménal, éblouissant, talentueux, souriant, regardant son public en lui faisant des clins d’œil. Grand bonhomme ! » La Grosse Radio.com nov 2012 « J'ai eu la chance de voir Skinny Molly a Verviers pour ce tour. Un concert de Skinny Molly, c'est avant tout une soirée remplie de bonne musique, non seulement leurs tubes a eux, mais aussi quelques hommages à leur histoire, avec des reprises de Lynyrd Skynyrd et de Blackfoot, comme "Saturday Night Special" de Skynyrd et "Train Train" de Blackfoot, voire même une reprise de 'Wishing Well' de Free ! Une bonne surprise, pour moi, fut d'ailleurs la reprise de "Copperhead Road" de Steve Earle, ainsi que le mythique "Freebird" en clôture. » Metal Chronique nov 2012 Contact : Dominique Bérard [email protected] // 06.61.50.79.95 .

K napsání tohoto článku mám ale víc d ůvod ů, než jen tu výše uvedenou konstrukci. Letos se Michalova kapela Pumpa dožívá v plné kondici 33 „kristových“ let a tak stojí za to si ji p řipomenout. Takže Michale, Tob ě a Pump ě k narozeninám a všem návšt ěvník ům webu Rádia Dixie pro zábavu i pou čení … Michal N ěme ček se narodil v hudební rodin ě. Maminka zpívala swing m.j. s orchestrem R.A.Dovrského a otec hrál na saxofon jazz. Hudba byla doma všudyp řítomná a v šesti letech za čal Michal chodit do „Lidušky“ na obor klasická kytara. Jak prozíravé! V polovin ě šedesátých let už Michal propadl beatové hudb ě. Už se z Rádia Luxemburg daly poslouchat písni čky zahrani čních, hlavn ě západoevropských a p řípadn ě i amerických skupin. Mezi jeho oblíbence pat řili hlavn ě Rolling Stones, Yardbirds a John Mayall. Z domácích kapel pak Olympic, Matadors a Rebels. Na gymnáziu dochází k zakládání prvních skupin, které ale nikdy nem ěly dlouhého trvání. První kapely, které stojí za zmínku, byly Alternativa a Kramle.

Originally formed in 1964 as My Backyard in Jacksonville, Florida, the band used various names such as The Noble Five and One Percent, before coming up with Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1969. The band rose to worldwide recognition on the basis of its live performances and signature tunes "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird". At the peak of their success, three members died in an airplane crash in 1977, putting an abrupt end to the band's most popular incarnation. The surviving band members re-formed in 1987 for a reunion tour with lead vocalist Johnny Van Zant, the younger brother of lead singer and founder Ronnie Van Zant.
