With Logan Todd of Impeccable Miscreants
With a fusion of funk and blues, Impeccable Miscreants shared in a musical obscurity that spanned three years.
"I think it starts with Will calling me," said Logan Todd, drummer of the band. "He says, 'There's this band. We're playing a show. We've got like 15 songs. Can you do it?'"
After learning that Aaron Floyd, Will's guitarist from his former band Mud Pie, was involved in the project, Todd jumped on the opportunity.
"They show up and they've got Freddy (Hodges) with them," Todd said. At the time, Todd wasn't too fond of Hodges.
"I think I tried to take his girl at a party once," Hodges said.
When the crew of four got up to Logan's garage-loft practice-room and Hodges opened his mouth for the band to try their hand for the very first time, all qualms were forgotten.
"I think it was Whole Lotta Love," said Todd. "No, I'm sure it was, because the next day at the (Edge Coffee House) show we tried to sing it and they (Frank James) shut the power off!"
Currently, the band is split in half as Todd and bassist Will McGee live in Nashville, while going to school at Belmont. Guitarist Aaron Floyd and lead vocalist Freddy Hodges are in Memphis going to Southwest and the University of Memphis, respectively. It isn't sure if the group will come back together after a dispute between the bassist and drummer has caused to band to cancel what would have been their third annual New Year's Eve show at the Cordova Flying Saucer.
"Man, I really hate what's happening between Will and I, but he has other stuff on his plate right now anyway, "Todd said. "Freddy, Aaron and I will be working with my brother Mic in January on a new rock hip-hop fusion record, so it'll all work out if it's meant to be."
After praise in GoMemphis from Sun Studio producer Matt Ross-Spang, and by nature of him writing the feature, Commercial appeal writer Michael Donahue, a recording session with the late Roland Janes and helping to raise money for both the Ronald McDonald House and more frequently Le Bonheur it can only be hoped that it'll all work out, and it's meant to be.
