Cement (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cement is one of the few bands Chuck Mosely has formed since leaving Faith No More.

[edit] Overview

Cement released two albums: Cement and Man with the Action Hair. Both albums were distributed by the Dutch East India Trading. Some of their songs also appear on various compilations such as: Buy This Used Compact Disc: A Dutch East India Sampler and 'Just Add Water.'

Both albums produced a style that resembled early Faith No More when Chuck Mosely was in the group but with less keyboards. There is a heavy rap influence on the debut album from Cement. Man With the Action Hair was a lot less experimental and was a lot more produced. The albums cover music from blues, rap, pop, alternative metal, and sometimes are sung or spoken by Chuck. The predominant style is hard rock/heavy metal. Man With the Action Hair was done in more or less the same music approach, but keeping the experimental element to a minimum.

There are surprisingly a lot of "thank you" notes (including fans worldwide) for a band that had a short existence, despite the band not being very well known. The line-up on both albums were described with humorous descriptions, especially on the second album.

[edit] Members

• Chuck Mosely: Lead vocals, acoustic guitar and piano (second album)
• Senon Williams: Bass and vocals
• Doug Duffy: "Boomchakabooms" (drums) and Back-up vocals
• Sean Maytum: Guitar and Back-up vocals

Chuck does most of the singing on the albums with some songs sung by his band mates on their debut album. Senon Williams (bass player) was the other singer on their debut album.

On the second European tour for this album, Mike Elliot replaced Doug Duffy on drums.
