Cape Town band Machineri produce seductive, blues-infused rock. Their music is influenced by everything from John Lee Hooker and Led Zeppelin to Malian blues and Portuguese folk. The blonde, beautiful Sannie Fox boasts as intriguing a background as her songs. Born in London, but living in Cape Town since the age of 11, she was turned on to the blues by her parents’ love of John Lee Hooker, Etta James and Aretha Franklin, Fox grew up playing piano and started singing aged 15. It was when she took up guitar in her late teens, however, that she found an instrument suited to her blues-style songwriting. Fox’s husky, smoky vocals – part Marianne Faithfull, part Patti Smith, but with shades of The Cocteau Twin’s Liz Fraser and a bit of Kate Bush. Each song distils a dozen influences - from the obvious nods to Patti Smith and Janis Joplin to famed Portuguese singer Amalia Rodrigues and the late, great Busi Mhlongo. The album artwork was designed by the legendary Storm Thorgerson (Pink Floyd, Muse, Led Zeppelin).
