Album review: THE DEAD DAISIES – Light ‘Em Up

Posted on August 26, 2024 by GRTR! HQ

SPV [Release date 06.09.24] One of my musical regrets in recent years is that I didn’t get to see The Dead Daisies UK tour with Glenn Hughes in December 2022 . As he does, Hughes sprinkled his gold dust over … Continue reading →

Gig review: THE DEAD DAISIES – 02 Forum, London, 6 December 2022

Posted on December 26, 2022 by andynathan

The constantly revolving lineups of travelling supergroup The Dead Daisies, the plaything of rhythm guitarist and businessman David Lowy, seem to have reached some belated stability, fronted by the equally mercurial Glenn Hughes. They were back in London to promote … Continue reading →

Gig review: THE DEAD DAISIES – Shepherds Bush Empire, 10 November 2021

Posted on November 14, 2021 by andynathan

To quote the title of one of their songs, in many ways the Dead Daisies are ‘like no other’, even to the extent that they have been described as a collective rather than a band. Line ups have regularly changed, … Continue reading →

Gig review: BURNING RAIN – Camden Underworld, London, 6 April 2019

Posted on April 14, 2019 by andynathan

And now for something slightly different. While many of their contemporaries seem to constantly tour, Burning Rain have a rather chequered career with a low profile in the UK. They have only released four albums over a 20 year period, … Continue reading →

Gig review: THE DEAD DAISIES – O2 Islington Academy, 19 November 2018

Posted on November 23, 2018 by Davoski

I’ve come to love the Massive Wagons only relatively recently. This year’s excellent and decent-selling album ‘Full Nelson’ seemed to move the band into different territory. This awakening finally cemented in my dulling brain that Massive Wagons and Monster Truck … Continue reading →

Posted on September 9, 2018 by GRTR! HQ

earMUSIC [Release date 26.10.18] The main thing to glean from this album is that no-one did it quite like Gary Moore. He left us way ahead of his time in February 2011 after a long and sometimes under-rated journey first … Continue reading →

THE DEAD DAISIES - O2 Academy, Bristol, 14 April 2018

Supergroups come and go, more often than not exploding onto the scene with excitement then invariably disappearing due to the sound of clashing egos… This is not necessarily the case with The Dead Daisies: yes, they have had more line … Continue reading →

Gig review: THE ANSWER/THE DEAD DAISIES – Electric Ballroom, London, 23 November 2016

Posted on November 28, 2016 by andynathan

In the current live music climate, a touring double bill makes sense. As well as sharing overheads and potentially playing to double the normal audience, for the fan it helps manage an increasingly crowded calendar where often multiple gigs compete … Continue reading →
