What Are You Listening To?

Saltwater - Chicane

 
I saw The Utopia Strong on Friday night at the Tin in Coventry (Interesting venue in canal coal arches!). The band features Kavus Torabi (Cardiacs, Gong, etc.), Steve Davies (Snooker player) and Michael York (Coil.) They were marvellous and unique,

 
Wow, 50+ years ago, sat cross-legged on the floor of a small smoke filled venue (what was that smell:confused:?) that would have been just my thing.

I did listen/watch it and must say it was quite refreshing. Off to do a bit of searching, there seems to be quite a bit of internet noise around them.

Viva la difference!!
 
Yes, they are pretty good and original, a mix of analogue synths and traditional instruments like guitars and pipes - Kavus is now the front man of Gong. I imagine that smell was quite common at their gigs back in the seventies!
 
Marillion - FEAR. Their guitarist, Steve Rothery, is a diabetic and talks about his struggles with weight and diet on his blood.
