Peculiar...

...there can be few things in life more peculiar than being in a Bryan Adams tribute band. And stumbling across The Bryan Adams Experience earlier today, it prompts three questions.

1. Why?

2. WTF...why?!?

3. Who goes to see them?!!!!!!?

That said, when touring the lovely West Country many years ago, a pissed Devon DJ slipped on Summer Of '69 and I remember catching Johnnymoke drummer's eye and nodding in tacit, begrudging agreement. At 2am, in Coombe Martin, when full of cider, it's a hell of a tune.

I probably shouldn't have shared that, should I...

Two blimeys...

...blimey one. Two posts in one day! Blimey two...the clip of the performance beneath would have no doubt confused some people at Coachella. So lifelike!!! And to think I thought it was clever when the Gorrilaz did it with Madonna at the 2006 Grammys, also worth a watch here. Hologram technology is getting pretty amazing and it makes one wonder what the future holds with regard to performance. A dead supergroup - Jimi on lead guitar, Janis on vocals, Johns on rhythm guitar and drums (Lennon & Bonham). Joe on keyboards (Zawinul). I'm just trying to do a dead band using the letter J. And it's turning out to be quite a line-up.

p.s - I used the word "one". NICE!

Five musical minutes....

...in the life of Alex Evans, Monday 16th April 2012.

Ja bitte...

...I'd love to go and see this. The headline is brilliant (well done BBC) - Beach Boys With Machines. But as they're only playing eight nights, all tickets have sold out, and the fact that I live in London, England means it's unlikely I'll catch a show. Ah well.

Ooh!

I'm liking this. It's a bit prog in the chorus, but we're on the safe the side of the fence, so that's ok then!
