Arists Spotlight: 68-75 The Reflection of Decades Past to Modern Time.rtf

So many influences go into this music. As Dog describes their music " A Cross between Led Zeppelin and Lenny Kravitz.  Lead singer Suzanne, Guitarist Andrew, Wolf on bass and Wolf-bass Mark-drummer ( US), John-drummer ( UK) have bought forward their reflections of decades past to modern day. The first time we heard them was Playing with Fire, from their debut ep. Dog was instantly hooked. Not many bands record albums, especially unsigned and self financed, mainly ep s or singles. Funk Rockers from Atlanta, Georgia, have done just that. Their songs which are evident in the audio and video below are a testament to their writing, will power, great music, guitar and vocal power, especially from Suzanne Sledge's vocal range and the sounds they reflect from the years 1968 - 1975 Wait a minute, you think they are a cover band? oooh no. They might play the odd cover as many bands do, however, they play all their own material and juice it is too.  As always after listening and playing the bands music, we wanted them to talk about the music themselves. They agreed to leap on Skype and have a chinwag as we say here in the shires. This is within a two hour show. It's about 30 minutes with Suzanne( Vocals), Andrew (Guitarist ) and talking about their song. Then came the monstrous debut album, Stay on the Ride.  Wall to wall classics including, Camels Back, Deal with the Devil, Dog tooth and more. I assumed that some tracks from their previous ep would be on the album. As it turns out they were all fresh Both of these interviews were before Crow cames along. Along came the album and Andrew managed to squeeze the guitar audio next to Suzannes powerful tubes Suzanne loves the U.K so much, she wanted t see her fans. They managed what few bands can and toured the U.K back in 2015. Unfortunately, Dog couldn't get to any dates, but there will another time of course :) To buy the album on Itunes( Couldn't find an embedded one) Video Evidence: Some Footage from the U.K Tour This was the first tour the band did on their own, meeting fans along the way Going Right back to their first ep and one of Dogs favourite songs, Bulletproof. Most of these video are on Alan Walters channel 2016 Tour: Nell's Jazz & Blues - 10/11/2016: The once again flew over to the U.K to promote their new album Consequences From the 2016 Tour, footage from the Nell's Jazz & Blues - Get it Right. 2016 Tour: Nell's Jazz & Blues - 10/11/2016: Our Drunk History from their most recent album, Consequences This was at BANNERMANS with band support by DAN BAIRD & HOMEMADE SIN on the second tour in 2016 From their album, Stay on the Ride Live version of Detroit, from their first album, Stay on the Ride Due their growing popularity the open a Facebook Group. Stay on the Ride, a fan's gathering place for all things 68-75 Like many bands, they are on social media. The band on it a fair bit, it's a full time job folks.

Monthly Compilation for charity

I have been toying with the idea of selling a form of the monthly compilation. So far, there have been two compilations, March and April and already have some submission for May. Then next step is to arrange a compilation for sale, probably a 10 track version of the compilation. Due to the nature of the non profit on Music World Radio, we are unable to sell compilations, unless people donate. Therefore the compilation finances are going to charity. Now this is a big field but the one subject that is always high  on the list is Cancer. This is my first choice for person reasons, mainly relations and friends. Someone pointed out that people out on the field as in volunteers is also worthly of attention So, research charity and on the field charity on the two fields that have to mesh Why? The station has listeners from many parts of the world, not just Europe.  There are charities in the U.K who do cater for other countries, its just narrowing it down it has to be a ...

Finally, i can now play vinyl records again on radio

Before the headlines, an update.... Co Presenter The radio variety show has always been able to evolve or move in various directions. Reason for the difficult task of finding a good name for the show In April 2015, i found a co presenters, Educational publisher and graphic designer, Darren Coles. We began messing about on radio, and wanted to come up with a duo name. For some reason, animals come into conversation and we ended up with, Dog and Crow. I am Dog and Darren is Crow. Partly the reason, for this is because, Darren, can do a wicked, Crow sound and i can do a Dog one Show HQ has moved again A place i have been waiting for over a year finally landed. My father knew of a couple who were to rent a house. I was in the position to move in, but heard nothing for long time.

He has gear, has been in bands and can se...
