Downliners Sect
The Downliners Sect are a British R&B and blues-based rock band of the 60s beat boom era.〔Unterberger, Richie. "The Downiners Sect: Artist Biography." ''Allmusic.'' http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-downliners-sect-mn0000117803/biography〕 Stylistically, they were similar to blues-based bands, such as The Yardbirds, The Pretty Things and the Rolling Stones, playing basic R&B on their first album ''The Sect''. Critic Richie Unterberger wrote: "The Sect didn't as much interpret the sound of Chess Records as attack it, with a finesse that made the Pretty Things seem positively suave in comparison." 〔Unterberger, Richie. "The Downiners Sect: Artist Biography." ''Allmusic.'' http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-downliners-sect-mn0000117803/biography〕
==History==
In 1962, Mick O' Donnell, later known as Don Craine, started a band called the Downliners, who, despite touring France, were unsuccessful.〔''The Story of the Sect: Part 1 1962-1969''http://www.angelfire.com/rock3/yardbird_sect/secthistory1.html〕 The name of the band came from Jerry Lee Lewis B-side 'Down The Line'.〔http://musicneedshelp.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/the-dowliners-sect-lost-bands-1-don.html〕 After several lineup changes, the band folded, but in 1963, O'Donnell and drummer Johnny Sutton formed a new band out of the remnants of the previous act.〔''The Story of the Sect: Part 1 1962-1969''http://www.angelfire.com/rock3/yardbird_sect/secthistory1.html〕 Keith Evans, formerly a drummer, would join in on bass. Shortly thereafter the band would be named the Downliners Sect.〔''The Story of the Sect: Part 1 1962-1969''http://www.angelfire.com/rock3/yardbird_sect/secthistory1.html〕 At this time some of the members decided to change their names. Mick O'Donnell took the new name, Don Craine, and Keith Evans became Keith Grant.〔''The Story of the Sect: Part 1 1962-1969''http://www.angelfire.com/rock3/yardbird_sect/secthistory1.html〕
The band was iconic during its time in the early 60s, partly owing to Don Craine's deerstalker cap which he wore to mock the aristocracy.〔http://musicneedshelp.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/the-dowliners-sect-lost-bands-1-don.html〕 The band has many fans who have achieved commercial success, including Van Morrison, Steve Marriott, and Rod Stewart, the latter two had even auditioned for a place in the band but were turned down because they both wanted to be frontmen while Don Craine and Keith Grant did not wish to relinquish that role.〔http://musicneedshelp.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/the-dowliners-sect-lost-bands-1-don.html〕
They subsequently modified their musical style, and after an EP of 'sick' songs (e.g. "I Want My Baby Back") they experimented with both country ("The Country Sect") and rock ("Rock Sect's In").〔Unterberger, Richie. "The Downiners Sect: Artist Biography." ''Allmusic.'' http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-downliners-sect-mn0000117803/biography〕 They later collaborated with Billy Childish's Thee Headcoats, and released two albums under the name Thee Headcoats Sect. They performed regularly at the Studio 51 club in Great Newport Street near Leicester Square tube station in London on a Friday night and Sunday afternoon, from which came the first EP featuring songs like Beautiful Delilah, Little Egypt etc. The EP started off with the sound of the bells of Big Ben, similar to the beginning of a song by The Bulldog Breed called Paper Man on the Nova Deram label album Made in England. The lead guitarist was Terry Clemson (Gibson) who played his Gibson 335. The Downliners Sect were similar in style to Gary Farr and the T bones and their single "Baby what's wrong with you", was released around the same time as Farr's "How many more times". Studio 51 was also known as the Ken Colyer Club and indeed the Rolling Stones made many performances at this club, but according to Rod Harrison, guitarist with Asgaerd and school friend of Terry Clemson, "you could say the Downliners Sect were almost residents." In fact, the Downliners Sect had a residency at Studio 51, usually playing on Friday nights and Sunday afternoons, with the occasional "all-nighter".
