Langford’s Deep Sea Gypsies (Loke Webb, left, Greg Moore, Johnny Regimbal and Marty Boggs) jam out as they get ready to release their new album, Chilco Rd.
Deep Sea Gypsies rise to surface Kyle Wells News staff
With a new album coming out, a host of devoted fans plus about 40-odd gigs and a couple of tours under their belt, Langford’s Deep Sea Gypsies are starting to make a name for themselves. The new album, Chilco Rd., continues the band’s commitment to hip-hop-flavoured blues numbers, with a generous
serving of barroom rock ‘n’ roll. The title is a love letter to the Langford road where the band wrote and recorded the album and the continuation of a trend started with their first album, 2011’s Clement Rd., again a reference to the location of the recording. All four members went to Belmont secondary school, met through skateboarding and formed a bond through music. They’ve been playing together now for about 10 years. “We’re all Langford guys,” drummer Greg Moore said.
“We all love Langford.” “Our core group of supporters from that area have absolutely carried us. Phenomenal turnouts all over the place,” vocalist and guitarist Loke Webb said. “The people from out on the West Shore area, we can’t even explain how much support they’ve given us, it’s crazy.” PLEASE SEE: Band loves Langford fans, Page A5
