The GONG REMAINS THE SAME
Jack Barron celebrates the 40-year celestial trip of ‘Europe’s Grateful Dead’….. Gong are a phenomenon, quite literally in a world of their own. Together with Soft Machine, they pioneered ambient, chill out and free-jazz freak outs. And to understand where they’re coming from, we need to look at founder Daevid Allen’s musical and artistic history. Allen was born in …

By the early 90s, the country whose musical identity found definition through political …

THE DOORS - When You’re Strange: A Film About The Doors
A ramshackle and rudderless hagiography Oliver Stone’s early 90s biopic of The Doors was a frustrating mish-mash of manipulated fact and cod psychology fiction that arguably enraged more fans than it pleased.

View: middle This must be Costello’s most understated tour. Little promotion and no interviews led, disappointingly, to a half-full Hall. Fortunately, this did not detract from The Sugarcanes’ set, which covered the Costello chronology, old songs sitting alongside unreleased tracks from the next Sugarcanes album. All were met with enthusiastic applause, and …
