Gillan's Inn |
antiMusic reports: Our very own Morley Seaver
had the pleasure of speaking to living legend Ian Gillan about a variety
of topics including the success of the latest Deep Purple album as well
as how Ian's new solo project came about. If you've ever played air guitar
to "Smoke on Water" this is one Morley View you do not want to miss! Below
is just a sampling of this extensive new MorleyView but here is Ian discussing
the genesis of Gillan's Inn.
"…I made a few phone calls and with a beginning
of an idea, and sent a few email messages and I think within a day I got
a reply from Joe Elliott and Tony Iommi and Joe Satriani and Jon Lord and
all the guys in Purple. And they said, "Yeah count me in. I'd love to do
it. Brilliant." So we then changed the entire concept around. And I had
this imaginary pub called Gillan's Inn, and you walk in and it's a free
bar and there's a stage bar with all the equipment set up and all our mates
are there and we just get up and have a jam and each one gets up and plays
for 3or 4 songs and we all mix up amongst each other. And so of course
it all turns into this most amazing thing because I'm suddenly trying to
select the material and I'm going well if Tony Iommi's coming We've got
to do "Trashed" which is the opening track on the Born Again album.
And I said, "This is perfect because I have Tony Iommi, Ian Paice and Roger
Glover all together, which is what we did. Sounds awesome. Similar thing.
"When a Blind Man Cries". I really wanted Jon Lord play the Hammond solo
on that one because it's very much him. Now who could we get who is not
on the list already, that's got a nice blues touch. And my producer says
"What about that Jeff Healey." Bloody brilliant…." [there is a lot more

Thieves |
Red Music reports: It's not very often that
the title track of an album doesn't make the final cut. However, that was
the case with the song Den Of Thieves. The tune has been a fan favourite
at live shows for the past year but the studio version has never seen the
light of day...until now.
As a thank you to all of the Canadian fans
who have supported the The Trews, and as an introduction to the band's
new fans south of the border, the unreleased studio version of 'Den Of
Thieves' will be available as a free download from www.thetrewsmusic.com
& the band's MySpace page- Click

Different Vine |
Day in Rock reports: I have a theory that
the people that dismissed The Vines in the same breath as The Strokes have
only heard the singles and missed about 90% of what this group has to offer
with a style that ranges from the raucous rockers they are best known for
but also for Beatlesq mastery when they take things in a totally different
direction. (Seek out "In The Jungle," "Country Yards" and "Factory" from
their debut to hear just how diverse they really are). Back to the point
of this post, you can hear yet another side of the band at the full story
link where they perform the song "Going Gone" live and unplugged. No screaming
here folks and this band is definitely not a one stroke pony!-

| Cretin
Debut |
Relapse reports: CRETIN have unveiled their
first full-length album! CRETIN’s Freakery hit stores today, April 18,
2006.
Exalting all that's perverted and aggressively
imbecilic, CRETIN (featuring current and former members of REPULSION and
EXHUMED) combine blasting proto-grindcore and congenitally deformed death
metal in an inbred sonic ambush that turns back the clock and grinds like
it's 1989. Freakery sodomizes the senses with a lo-fi grind aesthetic,
and begs you to enter the strange, freakish world of CRETIN. An e-card
previewing Freakery can be viewed at the full story link.-

| Highway
10 Blues |
Press Release reports: Lunaticworks Jazz will
release Highway 10 Blues, the new album from Cordovan. Cordovan is Los
Angeles producer/composer/bassist Greg Reeves, who, as Cordovan, focuses
on jazz-influenced groove material, with elements of modern downtempo,
broken beat, and ambient styles and a respectful nod to Miles Davis, Gil
Evans, Charles Mingus, and others.
With Highway 10 Blues, the first disc from
the newly-launched Lunaticworks Jazz imprint, Reeves set out to make an
album capturing the vibe of long drives through the desert, the big open
spaces, the earth tones, and also some of the neon and glitter. Instead
of going for heavy upfront beats or a dance sensibility, the set floats
and cruises, with melody and mood in the foreground. The album evolves
out of Reeves’ journey through rock, reggae, jazz, and dance as he travels
the road between jazz (“Jackpot”) and nu-jazz (“Pretend Gems”): a place
where thematic melodies merge with challenging harmonics and a chilled
vibe.[see full story for more]- Click

| Who
the Hell are The Ks? |
Press Release reports: Local rock band The
Ks has officially announced their presence on this planet, in a bid for
some larger recognition. They justify the blatantly promotional nature
of this news release with the high quality of their work.
The band announced their existence at a
packed and raucous press conference held at Woody McHale's Bar & Grill.
The event was called Charm Offensive I. Clearly intrigued members of the
entertainment press grilled members of the band regarding their style and
creative intentions; the band replied with cryptic and cagey answers but
promised more information in an ongoing promotion, Charm Offensive I being
the first salvo, to be known as Hype Offensive I. The band will coin a
new music genre name to fit their unique sound and write an entertainment
manifesto, in addition to making more mysterious announcements. The press
will have to wait and see. [see full story for more]-
