Vapors of Morph*ne + Get the Blessing

Baba Yaga's Hut Presents:

Vapors of Morph*ne + Special Guests: Get the Blessing

November 22nd - 100 Club
£30 / 7:30pm

Vapors of Morph*ne are a power trio featuring electric baritone sax, drums, and 2 string slide bass (often guitar). Baritone saxophonist Dana Colley is the through-line between Vapors and “low rock” pioneers Morph*ne, who’s leader Mark Sandman left this earth while performing onstage in Italy in 1999.

VoM perform much of the Morph*ne repertoire, plus new material and original versions of selective covers. They expand on the ethereal, hypnotic sounds popularized by the group in the nineties, and dig into their influences, from African music to delta Blues.

Vapors was formed over a decade ago by Colley, singer and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Lyons and Morph*ne’s original drummer Jerome Deupree. Drummer Tom Arey (J. Geils Band, Peter Wolfe’s Midnight Ramblers, Ghosts of Jupiter) replaced Deupree in 2019.

Their new album represents both a new era and a return to form for Vapors of Morph*ne. Fear & Fantasy, in its often lush arrangement, recalls Morph*ne’s final album, The Night, where Deupree teamed up with Billy Conway, the drummer who had replaced him; this time Arey plays on one side, Deupree on the other. It only seems fitting when both bands have been blessed with a revolving cast of top-notch percussionists.
