ʻO nā papahana mele e pili ana i nā ʻohana pili ʻaʻole ia he mea maʻamau i ka honua o nā mele pop. Ma waho, ua lawa ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana i nā kaikunāne Everly a i ʻole Gibb mai Greta Van Fleets.
ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi nui o ia mau pūʻulu, ʻo ia ka ʻike ʻana o ko lākou mau lālā i kekahi i kekahi mai ka moena, a ma ke kahua a i ʻole ke keʻena hoʻomaʻamaʻa hoʻomaopopo lākou a paʻa pono i nā mea āpau.
E kūkākūkā ʻia kekahi o kēia mau hui hou i kapa ʻia ʻo Greta Van Fleet. He nui nā mea hoʻolohe a me nā mea hoʻokani mele i ʻōlelo iā ia he manaʻolana hou no ka pōhaku, ʻo ia ka lua o ka hiki ʻana mai o ka Lead Airship.
ʻAe, ua kamaʻāina ʻo ia i ka hana a kēia hui mai Michigan, me he mea lā ʻaʻole i pau ka 70s pōmaikaʻi ... Mai ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi o ka naʻau i kapa ʻia ʻo Greta Van Zeppelin, ua like ka leo o ka mea mele ʻōpio me Robert. ʻO nā leo a Plant, a me ka unuhi ʻana i ka leo huhū o ka mea hoʻokani pila i nā riff kaao ʻo Jimmy Page. Mai lilo kākou i kumu ʻole, e hoʻoholo no ʻoe iho.
E hoomanao kakou i ka hoomaka ana
I ka makahiki 1996, ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Frankenmouth (Michigan, USA), hānau ʻia nā māhoe ma ka ʻohana Kizka, i kapa ʻia ʻo Joshua (Josh) lāua ʻo Jacob (Jake). ʻEkolu makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻohui ʻia kekahi keiki kāne i nā māhoe, ʻo Samuel (Sam).
Mai ka wā kamaliʻi, lohe nā keikikāne i ka hale i nā leo jazz, root a me nā blue blue hou i hana ʻia e Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Johnny Winter. ʻAʻole ia he mea kupanaha ma hope mai ua hoʻomaka nā kāne e pāʻani i ke mele ma ke ala like.
Ua mahele nā kaikunāne i nā kuleana penei: Ua noho ʻo Josh, nona ka leo kani kani, ma ke kahua microphone, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Jake e alakaʻi i ke kīkā, a ua loaʻa iā Sam ka mea hoʻokani bass. Hoʻokomo lākou i kā lāua hoa ʻo Kyle Haack ma hope o nā pahu.
Ma hope o ke koho ʻana i ke ʻano no kā lākou mau hana mele a me ka hoʻokō ʻana i kā lākou mākaukau hoʻokani, ua ʻae nā kāne i nā hana hoʻokani ma nā wahi o ko lākou kūlanakauhale hānau. A loaʻa koke iā lākou kahi kono e kamaʻilio ma AutoFest. ʻO ka mea wale nō i koe, ʻo ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi inoa no ka hui.
I ka lā ma mua o ka hōʻike ʻana, e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ana ka hui ma ka hale kaʻa o Pāpā Kizk i ka wā i ʻōlelo ai ka mea pahu pahu ʻo Kyle e pono ʻo ia e haʻalele koke a kōkua i kona kupuna kāne, e hana ana i kekahi hana no kahi wahine i kapa ʻia ʻo Gretna Van Fleet. A laila hoʻomaka ʻo Josh: he inoa maikaʻi no ka hui! A ua ʻae nā mea a pau.
ʻO ka mea wale nō a lākou i hana ai, ʻo ka wehe ʻana i hoʻokahi leka mai ka huaʻōlelo mua, a puka maila ʻo Greta Van Fleet. ʻO ka mea hoihoi loa, ʻo ia ma hope o kekahi manawa, ua hele kēia lede i kekahi o nā ʻahamele o ka hui inoa inoa me kāna kāne, a makemake ʻo ia. No laila, ua loaʻa i nā kāne kahi hoʻomaikaʻi kūhelu mai ka "hero of the occasion."
I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻololi ka mea pahu pahu i ka hui, ma kahi o Kyle, kahi hoa kamaliʻi ʻē aʻe, ʻo Danny Wagner, i noho no ka hoʻonohonoho. Ke hoʻokani nei ʻo Greta Van Fleet me kēia line-up.
ʻO nā lanakila mua o Greta Van Fleet
I ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻike ma nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa ma ka hale "garage" studio, ma nā hana ma ko lākou kūlanakauhale, ua mākaukau ka hui no nā hoʻokō koʻikoʻi. Eia kekahi, ua hōʻiliʻili nā kāne i ka nui o nā mea mele kiʻekiʻe, a lākou i makemake ai e kaʻana like me nā poʻe he nui.
I ka pūnāwai o 2017, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka Highway Tune hoʻokahi ma iTunes. Ua piʻi koke ke mele i ka helu ʻekahi ma ka pakuhi ʻo Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs. I hoʻokahi mahina ma hope mai, ua kamaʻāina ka poʻe hoʻolohe hoihoi i ka mini-album Black Smoke Rising. Ua kapa ʻia ka hui ʻo Apple's Music Artist of the Week.
ʻO Greta Van Fleet: e hahau i ka wā e wela ana ka hao
He mau pule ma hope o kēia hanana, hele ʻo Greta Van Fleet i ka huakaʻi ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, a ma hope iki - ma ʻEulopa Komohana. Pīhoihoi ʻia nā kānaka a pau e ka ʻoihana o nā kāne ʻōpio iwakālua mau makahiki, ʻo ke ʻano a me ka hilinaʻi. ʻAe, ua like ia me Led Zeppelin, ʻae, ua lohe mua ka honua i kekahi mea like. Akā, pehea ka maikaʻi o ka pāʻani ʻana o kēia mau ʻōpio!
Hoʻolohe ʻia ka album mua o ka hui i hoʻokahi hanu. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia nā mele ʻulaʻula, ʻo ka leo ikaika a me ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa, ʻo ka ʻāpana o ka puʻupuʻu he pale kaua a kupaianaha. ʻOiaʻiʻo, hāʻawi ʻo Greta Van Fleet i ka honua hou i ka mea i nele i nā makahiki he nui - kahi kaʻa maʻamau.
ʻO ka ʻokoʻa o nā manaʻo like ʻole ma ka pāpaho e pili ana i ka hui hou i hōʻike ʻia ua pā ka hana a nā ʻōpio ʻAmelika ʻōpio i kahi aʻalolo. ʻIke wale kekahi poʻe i nā clones o Led Zeppelin i loko o lākou, a hoʻopau koke i kā lākou hoʻāʻo ʻana, ʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe, e ʻike i kahi mea kumu a manaʻolana no ke ola hou ʻana o ka pōhaku.
I ka hāʻule o 2017, ua loaʻa ka hui i ka makana Best New Artist ma ka Loudwire Music Awards, a ma hope ua loaʻa iā ia kahi Grammy no Record of the Year - kahi mini-double hou mai nā ahi.
