I love this site!!! I'm "discovering" a lot of these bands here. Jamie Thomas is my new local hero. The guitar work on the Landlords "other side of the river" is suhweet. Now the guy with the huge voice here is that same guitar player.

Big Sam


As remembered by Joby please submit a real bio to master@leonstemple.com

Adding the third part of the "Quadrilogy?" that was The Landlords, The Water Ladies, Slow Drag and Big Sam. Really as much as I remember Big Sam and Slow Drag were basicly the sam band except for Aaron Wright taking over on vocals in Slow Drag there may have been some other member chnages in there as well tho. . . Tight 70's soul tinged rock tunes that fit in with the alterna-crowd as well as the "Big Drawing" club soda bands of the late 90's.


  • Kevin Brolly - Bass
  • Oz Rinckey - Drums, Vocals
  • Jason Serbenski - Piano, Organ, Vocals
  • Jamie Thomas - Vocals and Guitars


  • Jamie also played with the Landlords and Slowdrag.
  • Oz also played with Slow Drag and The Purple Dave Expierence


  • None currently listed




If it Takes Awhile (1998)

  1. Wrap It Up
  2. Alright By Me
  3. One More Town
  4. Flash In The Pan
  5. Coming Of The Day
  6. Feelin That I Had Before
