Animals and Men at the Fleece Bristol 2009

 


Here is the review of the gig. Venue magazine.

"Not often you see a guitarist who's a ringer for Mark Lawson. If you do, it's most certainly not in anything as thrillingly vital as this. To gauge an idea of the Animals and Men purity level, check out the drums, a full kit save for cymbals, those peskily autonomous creations wont to generate unsupervised sound for a good millisecond or two. This is all about economy, each track two minutes and out, everything absolutely bone lean, from bubbling bass to chopped guitar to utterly unfussy deadpan vocals, together concocting a post-punk brew that makes its key benefactor - the Bo Diddley beat - sound frivolous by comparison. That the band are relatively newly reformed, gigging Bristol for the first time in 18 years (More like 29 or something around that - Ralph), seems barely conceivable, with every track a prospective national anthem for the utopian nation of Utilitarianism. Venue leaves silently uttering a single mantra: bring back discipline. (Julian Owen)."

THE YELLOW TIE Official Trailer (2026) John Malkovich, Sean Bean Movie

 The extraordinary life of Sergiu Celibidache. From his childhood in Romania, to his exile in pursuit of a career in music, his struggle for survival in wartime Germany and his rise, fall and rise again, in an unimaginable life journey.

Carpenters - Superstar (the original 1971 single version)

 "Superstar" was written in 1969 by Leon Russell and Bonnie Bramlett and was originally called, "Groupie." The song is about a young woman who was a groupie and had fallen in love with the guitar player in a rock band. Apparently, they'd had a one-night stand, and she was looking forward to seeing him again, but he's moved on and all she can do now is listen to him on the radio.
