The band was founded by George Hexman in the late 70s, joining forces with major movers and shakers of the Liverpool music scene, throughout the 80s and 90s, The Hexmen line-up was a shifting collaboration of local luminaries including members of The Las, Edgar Jones (The Stairs, Oasis, Paul Weller), the Boo Radleys, Elvis Costello (Alan Mayes/Rusty), Electrofixion (Echo and the Bunnymen), Cast and Dr Phibes among others, even guitarist Charlie Whitney from supergroup Family was a sometime Hexman.
Although they have always been known as a blues band, the Hexmen’s material is not that easy to categorise.
The band’s backbone is blues based certainly, but one of the defining qualities of the Hexmen has alway
been energy. The quality of blues played tends to have an aggressive, indie edge with a psychedelic
undercurrent that’s never far away. Notwithstanding George’s historic links with the 80s and 90s Liverpool music scene, the current band members have an awesome pedigree. George himself, vocals (and an much sought after session blues harp player, has recorded with with some of the most significant indie bands of the past 20 years). Bass player Noz Easterbrook, whose furious 60s psychedelic cult band The Klubs, caused a huge stir when 30 years after recording in legendary Abbey Road and Decca Hampstead studios, their long lost album ‘Midnight Love Cycle’ (engineered by Vic Smith, future sound man for The Jam) was released in 1999 and was voted album of the Year in Record Collector magazine, which called The Klubs ‘The Greatest Lost Psychedelic Band of the 1960s’. The Klubs reformed for the Cavern Club in 2001, to celebrate the release of the CD version of the album in 2002 which has subsequently brought international, psychedelic cult acclaim. Bands and musicians Noz has appeared with include: Pink Floyd, Chuck Berry, Thin Lizzy, The Move, Wishbone Ash, The Pretty Things, John’s Children, Ben E King, The Drifters, Gene Vincent, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Graham Bond, Status Quo, 10CC, Hawkwind, Chicken Shack, The Equals, Atomic Rooster, Judas Priest, Family, John Hiseman’s Coliseum, Chris Farlowe and the Thunderbirds, Focus, Creation, Badfinger, Fleetwood Mac and many more.
Blistering drummer, Wayne Dangerous (ex Pressure Point and The Jam Restart), has shared the stage with The Stranglers, Big Country, Paul Young and The Q Tips among others. On guitar Dave ‘The Doc’ Crilly, an acclaimed musician on the Merseyside rock and blues scene.
