Deeply rooted in the West Coast sound and the British R’n’B boom, with a predilection also for Gospel and Heavy Rock tunes, Portobello Express is a Psychedelic Blues Rock Band from Vienna.
Songwriter Happy Betty is a passionate bass player with the dream of forming a band, after some years of hiatus from music, but snowed down with work life and studying, the idea was nearly lost.
She was joined in 2015 by Patrick “Slowhand” - a Rhythm ‘n’ Blues local legend- and Danny Bianchi with his deep dark jumping bass playing style. With nobody suitable to sing, Happy Betty step up and Portobello Express was born.
After touring Europe with great success, they release their first single “Be Blues/ The Devil is Dead” in 2017 and have since released an EP “2-3-4!” (2018) and a single on vinyl “The Sea Rises/ Sigh” (2019).
During the lockdown 2020 the band has released unplugged tracks of “I Wanna Break You”, “2-3-4!” and “The Sea Rises”.
In August 2020 has been released the heavy rock song “Highly Sensitive” about #respect and #kindnessmatters
Soon out also the brand-new single “You Cry”, a jazz-prog anthem about men’s unsatisfying love expectations.
Get ready for loads of guitar riffs, heavy bass lines, dynamic vocals and unconventional lyrics.
The band’s captivating, high-energy performances will transport audiences back in the old-school Rock tradition.
