Physics geeks like to distinguish between potential and kinetic energy…a ball on a table is all potential energy…a ball falling through the air has kinetic energy. The term "potential" is overused in the entertainment biz so I’m not going to use it here…Whitehouse is all kinetic energy. Listening to this CD is like taking the local express train to music Nirvana.
The band members come from all over and have lived all over: Spain, Germany, Australia, South Africa, Sweden. They are Men Of The World and the music they make is cosmopolitan, varied and accomplished. The songs are a mix of English and Spanish language lyrics with good ballads, Western-style guitar riffs and, I think, just a touch of African spices added.
There’s some affecting Spanish ballads (and ballads always sound great when sung in one of the Latin languages) that are performed with feeling and skill. But don’t get the idea that this album is just Latin. In fact, the Latin rhythms don’t put in an appearance as the main feature of all the songs (that would be too easy…and boring).
Added to the feast is some good old fashioned Pop music combined with thoughtful lyrics and creative arrangements. You get horns showing up occasionally, not dominating the mix, but acting as counterpoint to everything else that’s going on. The horn thing seems to be making comeback (listen to Jeffy Jolly’s work for Blues horn examples) and I think we should welcome it.
I particularly enjoyed "The Games People Play", "Nobody To Blame" (sounds like anything from Al Stewart’s "Year of the Cat") and "Sol En El Portal".
Summary:
http://frogblogreviews.bullfrogmusic.com/?p=30#more-30 A cheeky confection, unassuming yet assertive, lingers on the ears with a smooth satisfying finish. Enjoy with care as you may become dependent. Do not consume while driving as you will want room to shake your assets.Games, Whitehouse

It’s always exciting to see an artist take control of their careers and move with the professionalism that has Major Labels scratching their heads wondering where they missed the boat.
Whitehouse, with a blend of English and Spanish lyricism, is finding their way into a major arena of publicity. With a unique blend of influences crossing over classical, rock, and classic rock styles.
Although they are no strangers to worldwide publicity (a variety of music publications and air-play around the world), they have taken more affirmative action by securing a television spot with "The Shield".
The Shield is played on the FX network in the US and other networks Internationally. The show has recieved wide recognition for it’s controversial portrayal of corruption in the Los Angeles police department. With several Emmy nominations, and the contributions of extended roles from notable film actors such as Glenn Close and Forest Whitaker, it provides a great publicity opportunity for the band.
Whitehouse’s current release, "Games", features 14 tracks and includes the televised song, "Cuentan que el". The CD, "Games", is available at Music Forte today.

I don´t know why the band is called Whitehouse,but perhaps a better name .would be the United Nations,as the band lives in Germany but with members hailing from not only there,but alsoAustralia and Spain.
First,let me say that the guitar work is the best I´ve heard this year,I love it and it is obvious that Stephan Simon and Jose Amigo have spent time working on their craft. The guitar duo of Whitehouse provides the listener with alot to take in.From very Western pop guitar like you might find on Richard Marks or Chicago album to blazing flamenco runs and licks.For guitar lovers the guys just got to be heard.
The songs are sung in both Spanish and English by vocalist Jose Amigo.I don´t speak spanish,but when Jose sings in that language,the music vocally comes alive.I would imagine that it is because of the flow of syllables in Spanish is different than English and the vocals just seem to feel more true both rhythmically and melodically when Jose sings in his native tongue.
Their current releases,Games avaiable where you would expect to see Indie CD´s and it is well worth a visit to their CDbaby page to check out their audio clips.
