Two years ago flamboyant frontman Tom Meighan left KASABIAN following personal problems. The announcement came via this statement from the band: “Tom Meighan is stepping down from Kasabian by mutual consent. Tom has struggled with personal issues that have affected his behavior for quite some time, and now wants to concentrate all his energies on getting his life back on track.”

Band: HOT CHIP
Who: Veteran dance heroes from London
Active: Since 2000 / 8 LPs (new one included)

New album: FREAKOUT/RELEASE
Out: 19 August 2022 – more info here

Press info: Freakout/Release is another dizzying high in a multi-decade career that’s seen Hot Chip continuing to innovate and develop a rich, resonant songcraft. And while they continue to operate at peak form, the album also feels like a new chapter for the group – a collection of flesh-and-blood songs that finds the band reaching into the darkness to emerge as a true creative unit, their gazes fixed positively on the future ahead. The album features Canadian rapper Cadence Weapon, British DJ and musician Lou Hayter and production work from Soulwax.

LOVE COMMAND O – Hit The Dance Floor With This Disco Duo And Their New Single ‘GUILTY (Release The Wolf)

Posted on by JL

Daily electricity to load your batteries

28 June 2022

Artists: LOVE COMMAND O
Who: The musical collaboration between Husband and Wife duo Fox & Bex,
based between Dublin and Berlin. Inspired by a relentless passion for 1980’s
Italo Disco and New York Mutant Disco, the Duo have cherry-picked the best
of these styles, combining this into a psychoanalytic musical examination of
Married life, Toxic Masculinity, Jungian Psychology and the rebirth of Love.

New single: GUILTY (Release The Wolf)
From the upcoming debut LP ‘Integration’

Score: I love this and all of you out there who like to shake their booty will too. For synth/dance boosters like this the flashy glitter-colored dance floors of the good old discotheque times should come alive again. This is Saturday Night Fever fuel for each
day of the week. A-1 electro ecstasy that’ll awake all of your limbs and speed up the
pace of your bloodstream, all summer long.

Spectacular tune, spectacular clip.

This is the moment…

McCARTNEY And LENNON Reunited At Glastonbury Last Sunday

Posted on by JL

A couple of weeks ago, living beatle legend PAUL McCARTNEY celebrated
his 80th birthday and last Sunday he was the star headliner who got tens of
thousands of the sing-along crowd into ecstasy at the Glastonbury Festival.

He also surprised everybody with two giant guests, Dave Grohl and Bruce
Springsteen, who each played a couple of songs (and one as a trio) with
the imperishable King Of Melody.

My pick of the concert. The performance of Beatles song
I’ve Got A Feeling with his third guest… JOHN LENNON.

Magical moments…

Afterward, McCartney and Dave Grohl went on the run…
