Lou Reed: a short appreciation
New York’s favourite son, Lou Reed passed away on October 27th 2013 at the age of 71, following complications from a liver transplant. One of the word’s most unique artists, for most people – fans or otherwise – Reed will always be remembered for the deadpan, almost spoken word delivery of a proportion of his lyrics. As a musician, he often divided people, but there was never any questioning his gift with words, words which sometimes would surely have made far more compelling poetry than lyrical content.
WEATHERBIRD – Cut Me Loose EP
Just teenagers at the time of this debut release, Weatherbird have already gathered praise from UK DJ Gary Crowley and legendary musician/journalist John Robb. After a couple of listens to their ‘Cut Me Loose’ four track EP it’s not so difficult to see why. Their style isn’t always especially original, but between the four members, Weatherbird comprises strong musicians and – perhaps more importantly – at least one member who knows how to knock out a really strong chorus.
New video from Lucifer Star Machine
Following their previous video clip for ‘Dead & Gone‘, Lucifer Star Machine have returned with another new video clip, this time for ‘Sulphur & Speed’, also from their ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Martyrs’ LP.
27 dates with Mad Dog Mcrae
You may not be familiar with the name, but Devon’s Mad Dog Mcrae went down an absolute storm at Glastonbury earlier in 2013. It is claimed that their fun mix of folk, bluegrass, jazz and (in their own words) “shake your ass” music is guaranteed to create an impression.
