…venues when he comes over to the UK. Building on some memorable acoustic shows at the Union Chapel in Autumn 2022, he announced a fuller UK tour which culminated in this show at the Royal Albert Hall – a return to the scene of his first major show here in 1989, in the days when he still sported that magnificent mullet. There was another American legend as support in John Oates, seated and acoustic with only a cajon and percussion player fo… Continue reading

…had interrupted his usual busy schedule, whether solo, with Tyketto or the Snake Oil and Harmony combo with Dan Reed.

The New Yorker opened with ‘The Last Sunset’, one of the Tyketto songs na… Continue reading

Album review: PURE ASSASSINS – Questions
Independent [release date 25.11.22] What happens when the Pure Assassins’ drum and bass hedonist picks up a guitar and embraces existentialism? It is sometimes suggested that existentialism is just this bygone cultural movement rather than an identifiable philosophical position. But here, by adding more layers to the band’s traditional Drum and Bass sound, Pure Assassins turn their urban noir lyrics and primal guitar howl into somet… Continue reading

Album review: JOE SATRIANI – The Elephants Of Mars
earMUSIC [Release date 08.04.22] A new Satch album. Energy levels high. Check. Weird titles. Check. Stellar guitar. Check. Shades on. Check.

Vai’s is more accessible than we might expect but Satch always delivers in terms of immediacy. Following on from 2020′s ‘Shapeshifting’ and its predecessor… Continue reading

Album review: DAN REED NETWORK – Let’s Hear It For The King
Drakkar Entertainment [Release date 17.06.22] In 2022 all we need is some live music and a Dan Reed Network album. This is the band’s third album of their more recent renaissance following 2018′s ‘Origins’ which sprinkled some new stuff along with re-workings. And if they’ll never quite recapture the sheer novelty and vibrancy of 1989′s ‘Slam’ this comes pretty damn close. Always with great song… Continue reading
