United Music” project is all about, bringing attention to all the artists who
make great music.
SET: 01
Starting
off today’s show is Belfast Northern Ireland’s “Sea Pinks” with “I Don’t Feel
Like Giving In” taken from their January 2016 album “Soft Days”.
A
great album by the way that evolves in the progression of 80’s New Wave Pop
with a few surprises. Band Members: Neil Brogan, Davey Agnew and Steven Henry,
deliver attitude on Soft Days.
Following
the Sea Pinks is US band “The People” with “Gone” a song taken from their self
titled debut EP “The People”
“Gone”
is a rockin blues tune with driving energy and attitude by Band members Steve
Irribarra, Eric Ivener, Nick D'Itri and Chad Swanson. Good rockin sounds by The
People.
Following
The people is Australia’s “Southbound Snake Charmers” with “Moonshine Runners
Blues” taken from their January 2016 - 5 song EP “Voodoo Chicken Shack”. Here’s
an Infectious rockin’ Blues tune with attitude, packed with high energy that’ll
certainly get your day moving. Lot’s of great music by this band on Bandcamp. So,
go…check them out.
Closing
the set is Birmingham Alabama Band “La Resistance” with “Head On”, a Jesus and
Mary Chain cover to keep the energy flowing.
The
song was released in 2011 on an EP of cover songs called “The Candidate” which consisted
of 5 songs that influenced the band from the 80’s New Wave / Brit Pop era.
I
Love the way Greg Summerlin, Randle Scruggs, Mischa Jordy and Wil Drake bang
this one out…great solid rock n roll to close the set.
And
so, the Sea Pinks, The People, Southbound Snake Charmers and La Resistance
serve up energy, attitude and drive on The Minstral Show.
SET: 02
From
Nashville Tennessee, Matthew Perryman Jones starts off the second set with
“Happy” taken from his latest album “The Waking Hours” released in October
2018.
Matthew
creates an ambiance of reflective thought through soul searching lyric and
comforting tones to strike a common chord with the listener. The song asks us
to look within and analyse why, when we have everything we need, why can’t we
be happy…a powerful song by a great artist….Matthew Perryman Jones.
Following
Matthew is Chris Stoddard and Samantha Ritter who are Miss Mobil Home, a Dream
pop/shoegaze duo from New York, NY with their song “Fine Machine” taken from
their June 2016 album “Glimmer Down”.
I
find Dream Pop to be very soothing with a mysterious ambiance which puts me
into a comforting reflective mood, made even more so by the poetic lyrics of
this song. Very enjoyable music.
From
Oslo Norway, Wobbler follows with “Foxlight” taken from their October 2017
album “From Silence to Somewhere”.
“Foxlight”
captures the journey of the human spirit in isolation through the body’s
physical death and the spirits resurrection in consciousness to embrace moments
of clarity when the burdens and lies of empire are all purged from the
mind…this is truly a masterpiece that reminds me of some of the best Progressive
Rock Bands of the Late 60’s and early 70’s such as “YES” “Gentle Giant”
“Genesis”, “Jethro Tull” and others that defined those times. From Silence to
Somewhere is truly a must have album for progressive rock fans.
And
so, another great set of progressive and reflective music to sooth your mind and
soul on The Minstral Show.
SET: 03
Starting
off our final set is Sydney Australia’s “Fables” with “Sherekhan” a single from
their forth coming album.
Sherekhan
is a hypnotic song with a haunting edge that borders the twilight of dreams and
nightmares...a very progressive track from an album I am waiting patiently for.
Good stuff.
From
Seattle Washington, Midday Veil follows with “Empire is No More” taken from
their 2015 album “This Wilderness”. The beginning of this song reminds me of the
music that plays on The Legend of Zelda – Twilight Princess when the shadow
world appears…the song is truly enthralling especially in these surreal times
of declining empires…it’s also worth noting that with the fall of empires,
comes a sobering reality in the aftermath, when all the illusions fade away…a
very captivating song to be sure.
James
Yuill closes the set with “Kings Come of Noethinge” an unreleased song that
didn’t make it onto his July 2017 album “A Change in State” but it is available
in a six song package for a limited time for anyone who joins James mailing
list. Personally, I think this song is brilliant which is why I’m sharing it
with you here…hey, it’s also a good reason why one should sign up to an artists
official website as I suggest at the end of every show.
Be sure to support the artists by
going to their official websites, buying their music and joining their email
platforms. Details are in the episode description.
And
so, the dream is always the same in the twilight hours, a place where artists
play and music is born and then put together here, on the Minstral Show…see you
next week everybody.
