you told...man, i didn't mean it in a bad way. <br /><br />you told exactly my thoughts. <br /><br />when most reviews contains one band and do it like new wonder (sometimes it just comes out only one hit wonder) you find a bunch of quality stuff in one place and have a bunch in your sleeve for the future. :) <br /><br />and that one band was i haven't heard before as most of others mentioned i already discovered in your blogs. :) it's not a bad thing aether. :) <br /><br />they caught my eye by those girls, but when i checked them out they really seems like great performers. <br />might be as successful as "lumineers" if not more if they'd get some big label over them.Mr Smorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17114656304341401631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-81145546203818811482014-10-27T11:05:49.790-07:002014-10-27T11:05:49.790-07:00You're right Mr. Smork - it is an insane amoun...You're right Mr. Smork - it is an insane amount of acts that I put in *one* single entry. But - then again - I don't do more than 2 (3 tops) blogs per month here. So, if you look at it that way - these large single entries are really more of a "monthly (or semi-monthly) magazine." To be read over the course of some time.<br /><br />I understand the current climate in social media hit-and-run "features" are the single-artist-only-entry. And Lord knows I do plenty of that too on the sites (other than mine) that I contribute to on a very frequent basis.<br /><br />So - what you get here is often a summary of all that - *plus* live show coverage and recording reviews that are not anywhere else.<br /><br />I appreciate you singling out at least one artists feature worthy of individual mention - duly noted that PARLOUR TRICKS caught your fancy. Yes, both easy on the eyes and ears. A winning combination by most standards. <br /><br />Most definitely feeling the free, my friend.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-20766129325072815412014-10-27T05:40:12.874-07:002014-10-27T05:40:12.874-07:00how many of artists can fit into one blog entry?

There are definitely certain similarities between them and the prime era Pipettes. In fact I mentioned this to lead vocalist Lily after the show. She acknowledged a cursory awareness of them. When I further pointed out that the concept of 3 women fronting a band goes back to the early 1960's (I was thinking of The Supremes for example) she countered by saying "earlier than that" - then mentioned The Andrews Sisters.<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Andrews_SistersDaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-81708146230654887462014-10-21T02:33:29.622-07:002014-10-21T02:33:29.622-07:00Looks like a wonderful fest of music , enjoying Pa...Looks like a wonderful fest of music , enjoying Parlour Tricks.

The CBGB...Appreciate your thoughts NYCDreamin'<br /><br />The CBGB Fest for me has become something of a "McKagan Fest" sub-festival. He's the constant single line that has run through all three of them so far. He's like the honorary grand marshall of the event. The fact that I admire him as much *personally* as professionally (from a hard-partying young rocker, to a healthy responsible husband and father - who *still* rocks as hard as ever) - means everything to me. Janes Addiction and Devo? I like them ok. I've never found Sunday be that great of a day to do rock things - especially after a week of going to events. I'm sure the "internet" is full of photo-orgy posts of that day. So, for those looking for that - they'll know where to find it. What I do here is a little more passion-specific.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-64499996452815175012014-10-20T14:37:21.449-07:002014-10-20T14:37:21.449-07:00Busy few days for you but sounds like a whole lot ...Busy few days for you but sounds like a whole lot of fun!

I mean - I always knew it to be a good song - and lord knows it was a huge hit here in the early 80's - but - you can tell he has evolved over the years into a true emotive vocalist (and not just a rock screamer/shouter). Steve Stevens showing up was a bonus for sure! And Matt Pinfield has a life-lived story now that just as compelling as the musicians he interviews.
