LA MIMOSAS Demo Samples

We were asked by a few people to release something like a Demo. We made it now!

Watch the clip and feel free to comment ...

For those who want to know something about the used songs read the following remarks:

What would it take?
La Mimosas
(Recorded March 2012)
It is some of our own stuff. The idea of this song comes out by accident. We discovered one of those virtual instrument on the PC and we found that groovy arpeggiator sound which we took as the basic theme for the song. We add two guitars, a Keyboard, some Horns and Brass. That's it!
After the creation and recording of the vocal line we enhanced the song with a few breaks and sounds to make it a bit more interesting.
You can listen to the entire song on our homepage www.lamimosas.de. 

Come together
The Beatles
(Recorded September 2011)
Nothing is really to say to that outstanding Beatles song.
We love that song since years and play it in our programs for a long time.
It is more or less a one take recording. We did during a session with our friend Reiner Backe (Bass).
At the end we only add a few additional backing vocals - done.
It is a real 'highlight' on our gigs.

Soul on fire
La Mimosas
(Recorded Summer 2011)
That is one of favorite song in the program. It was also an accident by testing  a Yamaha sound generator (Motif XF -great tool). Just the basic groove, Piano, Brass, Bass, Vocals - ready to go ...
Interesting - you won't here any Guitar on the take. We just forgot it ... and we never add one.
On stage Uli is playing a Guitar to the song.
You can here the complete song on our homepage www.lamimosas.de.

Name and Number
La Mimosas
(Recorded February 2012)
That was a planned production. As it was planned - it took us a long time before we were ok with the song. The first version contains a lot of instruments and gimmicks. It was absolutely overloaded. In the end we reduced it to Drums, Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Lead Guitar and Piano. Thanks again to Reiner.
He played a fantastic bass line.

When it rains
La Mimosas
(Recorded October 2012)
It is the newest outcome of our work. Not sure what it is but we like it. We would name it a pop ballad. Just a few guitars and keyboards. Not really a great effort. We never played the song on stage so far and we're not sure if it works. We will see ...

Say 
John Mayer
(Recorded September 2012) 
It is a fantastic song. We didn't knew it. At first we heard that song in a movie with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman (The Bucket List) ... It fits good into the La Mimosas program so we decided to make a cover. We also like to play that as an 'unplugged' version - using just an acoustic guitar.
On the track you hear some more instruments.

Enjoy listening.
