One of music's most interesting and prolific
artists, Steve Miller has been making records
of nearly every genre since 1968. In the
course of 20 years at Capitol, Miller and
a varying cast of musicians, always billed
as the Steve Miller Band, would produce
music that was alternately psychedelic,
bluesy, R&B-inspired, country-tinged,
gorgeously poppy, discofied, highly synthetic,
and straight-out jazzy. Even more remarkable
than that variety was his ability to perform
skillfully in those modes without submerging
the core of his sound or his own personality.

Falling
between the energetic pop/rock of mod revival
and the psychedelic experimentations of
Traffic, Ocean Colour Scene came to be one
of the leading bands of the traditionalist,
post-Oasis British rock of the mid-'90s.
Although they had formed in the late '80s
and had several hits during the height of
Madchester in the early '90s, the band didn't
earn a large following until 1996, when
their second album, Moseley Shoals, became
a multi-platinum success story in the U.K.
Their ascent was greatly aided by Paul Weller
and Oasis' Noel Gallagher, who both publicly
praised Ocean Colour Scene for keeping the
flame of real rock & roll burning during
the '90s. And, according to one specific
definition, they were right, since Ocean
Colour Scene was nothing if not rock &
roll traditionalists, drawing heavily from
British Invasion pop, psychedelia, soul,
R&B, and blues-rock to create a reverential
homage to classic rock. Their devotion to
trad rock may have earned them decidedly
mixed reviews, but that was the very thing
that earned them a sizable following.

Emerging
from the depths of Bakersfield, California
with a sound unlike any other in 1994, Korn
have been able to cement themselves as one
of the most important bands in rock n' roll
history. The band may have changed members
with Brian 'Head' Welch and David Silveria
departing in 2005 and 2006 respectively,
but Jonathan, Munky, Fieldy and Ray capture
the feeling that was there in the beginning.

Indisputably
one of the UK’s biggest ever bands,
undoubtedly one of its most loved, statistically
one of its most successful and critically
one of its most lauded, Madness are both
the pop genii behind the likes of Our House,
House Of Fun, One Step Beyond and many,
many more and also the intellects whose
albums, now all once again available, display
a more thoughtful, political and satirical
slant. With 2009’s The Liberty Of
Norton Folgate, Madness saw themselves restored
to their rightful place at the top of the
UK pop hierarchy and welcome a new generation
to the massed ranks of Nutty boys and girls.

By
demonstrating that the spirit of punk could
live in traditional Irish folk music, the
Pogues were one of the most radical bands
of the mid-80s. Famed for their wild and
exciting live acts, lead singer Shane MacGowan's
relentless drug and alcohol abuse meant
the cult Irish folk punksters were forced
to disband in the mid 90s. Now reformed
with charismatic rogue MacGowan back in
tow, the band are back on the road well
over 20 years since their inception.

One
of rock music's most recognizable names
- are heading back out on the road. The
fiery Dublin band exploded onto the scene
with a fresh sound, look and attitude with
classic tracks such as 'Jailbreak' and 'The

have passed since founding member Phil Lynott
passed away, but a new lineup has formed
to take Lizzy's music to a whole new generation
of music fans. The band will be led by alumni
Scott Gorham, Brian Downey and Darren Wharton
(all of whom played in Thin Lizzy with Phil
Lynott) and will also include Def Leppards
Viv Campbell (guitar), Bassist Marco Mendoza
(Whitesnake, Ted Nugent) and The Almighty's
Ricky Warwick on vocals and guitar.

East
Londoner Ben Drew could well be the most
exciting MC this city has produced. He's
as likely to be playing indie venues or
folk clubs as he is hip hop jams or raves
or R&B gigs. He can spit rhymes and
hold his own against any MC or rapper, but
can then suddenly switch into a delicate,
sweet white soul croon that would shame
any boyband member. He accompanies himself
on an acoustic guitar, playing in a curiously
folksy, fingerpicking style. But the killer
punch is the lyrics - bleak, cinematic,
X-rated urban poetry laced with a mordant
wit and a strong dose of pathos.«

Entertainment's annually promoted Pink Floyd
tribute tour will feature 'The British Pink

promoter said, "In recent years TAPFS
tours have featured primarily British musicians
and it’s come to the point where a
British show is more appropriate. CMP doesn't
want to stretch the goodwill of Pink Floyd
or the fans and therefore, now is a good
time to change." «
