	The Average White Band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Average White Band (also AWB) is a Scottish funk and RandB band who had a series of soul and disco hits between 1974 and 1980 and continue to perform in 2005.
		AWB were formed in 1971 by Alan Gorrie (vocals/bass) and Malcolm Duncan (tenor saxophone), with Onnie McIntyre, Hamish Stuart, Roger Ball, and Robbie McIntosh joining them in the original line-up.
		The band's breakthrough was a support slot at Eric Clapton's comeback concert in 1973 (see 1973 in music).

	Disco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social trends that contributed to disco music include the surpassing of white people by racial and ethnic minorities, fl and Hispanic people in the purchasing of records and sound equipment, the increased independence of women in finance and leisure, gay liberation, and the sexual revolution.
		Disco music diverged from the rock of the 1960s, elevating music from the raw sound of 4-piece garage bands to refined music composed by producers who contracted local symphony and philharmonic orchestras and session musicians.
		Strong disapproval of disco among some rock fans, many of whom are thought to have disapproved of the percieved fl and gay overtones of disco music, existed throughout the disco era, growing as disco's influence grew, such that the expression "Disco Sucks" was common by the late-1970s among these fans.

	Deep Groove Encyclopedia - Average White Band
		Any doubts that whites were capable of being legitimate soul performers were answered by the Average White Band, one of the genre's most solid acts during the 70s.
		The truest test of a band's effectiveness is to capture them in a live setting, and this double LP delivers the goods.
		Interesting concept behind this LP, since AWB was at the peak of its powers while Ben E. King's career was floundering.

	Average White Band: Pick up the Pieces
		This is not to imply that they were in any sense a one-hit-wonder band, but rather to recognise that this song approaches a kind of perfection in a style of music that was very distant from the band’s roots in Glasgow.
		Essentially the song is a brilliant assimilation of the style of American jazz fusion bands like the Crusaders, merged with the economy of modern jazz and the attitude of the JB horns.
		Second, there is added percussion which is played relatively freely, rather like a samba band, with the intrinsic suggestion that there are more people on the stage, more characters in the action.

	Berm: influenced by; similar to neil diamond, lou reed, steely dan, xtc, the beatles, fleetwood mac, led zeppelin, ...
		One of the foremost and long-lived bands in the power pop movement spearheaded by such luminaries as The Beach Boys, The Beatles, and The Kinks, XTC have ofttimes tipped their hat (and winked their collective eye) to those bands, and many others.
		Though the band held to some tenets of the New Wave, such as short songs devoid of solos and no fear of synthesizers and cavernous soundscapes, their cohesiveness as a rock band was made credible by their live performances.

	AWB by Average White Band CD
		On the band's signature tune, the mostly instrumental "Pick Up the Pieces," the theme is stated by a punchy-but-slinky horn section, with sinuous interpolations from Hamish.
		Here the band demonstrates its impressive rhythmic facility and its ability to stop on a dime (the death-defying groove rivals the JBs in their prime).
		To this day their first album is in my top 5 to listen to, along with Dark Side of the Moon, and others, and can get my aging body grooving and moving any time I put it on.

		The Bob Geldof superstar concert series 'Live 8' correctly stood accused of being 'hideously white' (as Black Information Link put it), since only one band from Africa was scheduled amongst dozens at the five major performances.
		The aim of "White Band Day" will be to get everyone around the world that wants to end poverty to wear a white band on those days.'
		No one is suggesting that putting on a white headband or wristband makes you a collaborator with neoliberalism, dividing-and-conquering the oppressed forces, and supporting 'moderate' NGOs so that they gain bantustan-style rewards from the global establishment.

		Robinson confirmed the existence of a deep sense of "frustration that we didn't really play" and acknowledged that the litany of turnovers, costly penalties and slow ball would have to be rectified if England were to avoid further defeats.
		With Martyn Williams and Michael Owen helping to provide the territorial platform for Henson's heroics, Wales were a team suffused with belief in front of a record Six Nations attendance in Cardiff; England, in contrast, appeared a side with a decreasing amount of faith in themselves.
		Wales have a new king in crimson whereas England are taking their cue from the average white band.

		AWB was past its prime by the time this album arrived.
