Thu, 30 August 2007 The Music Attack rides again for a bumper-sized episode to tide you over while I dive headfirst into some mixing work over the next couple of weeks. This week's selections... Haywire - Shipwrecked The band that eventually became The Mocha Nights (and spawned Tempercalm) started out as this four-piece guitar pop-rock-punk type combo. Brainchild - Lifeline A great wee indie-guitar-pop band featuring Stuart Kidd of the BMX Bandits and Michael Hayes. No, not the Michael Hayes that was in the Fabulous Freebirds, this one was a mate of mine at college. Blue Movie - Nightmare Swimming A band that was, like Haywire, on the record label formed out of my college course. This band features Daniel Drever of Gamble, Gamble and Drever on lead guitar. Clive Murray - The Reaper's Image Yet another friend of mine (maybe I should rename this show to NeiloMac's Nepotism Attack...) and an excellent track off his equally cool instrumental solo album, Earthman. Anabranch - Small Town Inspiration A track by a band I saw play with Blue Movie and Brainchild back in 2003. Dunno what ever became of these guys, but I liked the song, so I thought I'd play it. :-) Panzerballett - Meschugge A very talented German fusion rock band who were nice enough to mail me a promo copy of their CD. Danke Jan und Panzerballett, you rock, and apologies for my crappy attempt at German. Comments[1] |
