CMAT Presents New Video For Her Shiny Pearl ‘THE JAIMIE OLIVER PETROL STATION’
15 March 2026
Irish eccentric, utterly cool prima donna CMAT (Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson) has
a new video clip out for last year’s hit single THE JAMIE OLIVER PETROL STATION, remarkable for her vocal tour de force on it, and it features none other than the cook himself.
The song is an astounding standout from last year’s EURO-COUNTRY album, her third. CMAT said at the time that, contrary to what it may sound like, the track was a love song for the star chef Jamie Oliver.

dEUS – Belgian Gods Still Alive And Kicking After 35 Years
14 March 2026
Belgian Gods dEUS – without a shadow of a doubt the best band in Belgium‘s
rock history – palyed one of their two try-outs for their upcoming European/UK
tour last Tuesday at a small venue in Leffinge, Belgium.
The gigs sold out in no time.
On this new tour, commander-in-chief Tom Barman and his accomplices will play
their first 2 albums, Worst Case Scenario (1994) and In A Bar, Under The Sea (1996).
Not in the LPs chronological order. No, they zigzag through all of the tracks, which
leads to an unpredictable, exciting setlist.
I saw the band about 25 times, and they never disappointed. On stage, they inject their songs with jacked-up energy and inflammable intensity. This was (another) special night, as they performed several of their classic gems from those 2 full-lengths, like Via, Hotel Lounge, Morticiachair, Fell Off The Floor Man, Little Arithmetics, Roses, Serpentine, and Theme From Turnpike for the first time in a long while. Nostalgia ruled.
After 35 years, with a couple of hiatuses for solo projects, and 8 LPs, dEUS still are
a fiery force, and still the most prominent Belgian group today (to my ears), but also praised all over Europe and the UK.
Their sterling catalogue isn’t dated at all, thanks to their sonic versality, intriguing waywardness, and Barman‘s extraordinary songwriting skills from day one. I never
get bored with them. Hail hail!

THE BLACK CROWES – The Robinson Blues Brothers Repeat Themselves Again On Their 10th LP ‘A POUND OF FEATHERS’
14 March 2026
Photo: Ross Halfin
Notorious blues rockers THE BLACK CROWES (1984–2002, 2005–2015, 2019–present)
with brothers Chris and Rich Robinson as prominent members, started their sonic odyssey in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1984.
Their 10th full-length, called A POUND OF FEATHERS is out now.
Chris: “We made this record in eight to ten days. Bringing the high and inspiration
from our previous LP ‘Happiness Bastards’ into this album, it was a natural progression.
We experimented more, we wrote on instinct and how we were feeling in the moment. Rich brought a spontaneity to the record that I can’t describe, but it’s the best shit he’s ever done.”
Rich: “This album feels transformative to us. Going back to our roots, we felt that spark
in the studio and how we work together. Lighting a fire that hits harder, more jagged but
is still true to our musical essence.”

TUTV: The Black Crowes are one of those rawk ‘n raw roll bands I dig the most when
they’re on stage. Some of their records are pretty good (their first ones), but just like AC/DC, they use the same formula over and over again. So as a fan you know what to expect.
A salvo of rough riff- rippers, a couple of power ballads and Chris Robinson singing his heart out. Yep, TBC by numbers, but wait, some of them are red-hot enough to get you out of your lazy couch and play air guitar, like Prophane Prophecy, Cruel Streak, Do The Parasite!, and You Call This A Good Time. But at the end of the day, it’s just another Crowes album.

THE BYRDS Went ‘EIGHT MILES HIGH’ Today 60 Years Ago
Top singles from the past
14 March 2026
THE BYRDS (1964-1973) were introduced by their record label as the American answer to The Beatles. Well, that was what they hoped for, but it didn’t work out that way, although the Californian band did write some great stuff, like with their single EIGHT MILES HIGH.
The jangly hit was released on 14 March 1966, today 60 years ago.
It was written by Gene Clark, Roger McGuinn, and David Crosby.
The song was subject to a U.S. radio ban shortly after its release, following allegations published in the broadcasting trade journal the Gavin Report, regarding perceived drug connotations in its lyrics. The band strenuously denied these allegations at the time, but in later years, both Clark and Crosby admitted that the song was at least partly inspired by their drug use.
Caused by the ban Eight Miles High stranded on #14 in the US.
Let’s go up, and fly high, people.

JACK ANTONOFF and his BLEACHERS have recorded a new longplayer. It’s called Everyone For Ten Minutes and will land on May 22.
Last month we got overwhelmed with the sublime first single
You And Forever that went online without the album news
we now have.
And here comes preview track number two.
DIRTY WEDDING DRESS is an upbeat,
sax-flavored, and foot-tapping tune.
New album means new tour.
