Spotlight band: Fearless Vampire Killers are BACK!

March 12, 2022

What fans have hoped for, ever since the band split up five years ago, got confirmed yesterday – Fearless Vampire Killers are BACK! A few weeks ago, a show was announced at the Black Heart in Camden Town, London. The band’s name was After The Flames. Soon after the announcements, there were first talks about this being a secret show of Fearless Vampire Killers. No one was sure, but there were certain signs. The show was sold-out pretty quick and hopes were high. So…fast forward to yesterday night….and hopes were fulfilled – Fearless Vampire Killers are truly back!!! By now the band’s Facebook page got updated and the band shared a video on their youtube page, where Kier Kemp (guitar and vocals) and Laurence Beveridge (guitar and vocals) talk about past, present, and future. Fearless Vampire Killers always had a close connection to their fanbase. That seems to never have broken. Everyone, keep your eyes open for what’s about to come. Meanwhile, check out some of their hits from a while back, like “Maeby”, “All [Read More]

The band also announced their anxiously awaited new album “Scoring The End Of The World”, which will be released June 10th via Roadrunner Records. Singer Chris Motionless on the new project: “‘Cyberhex’ is my love letter to you, our fans, for everything you have done for me over the course of some of the most mentally taxing few years I’ve had to go through. At times where I felt like my world was ending, as well as the world around us, it was always in my mind that I was able to turn to the special relationship we have created together for help, and I cannot thank you enough for that. Outside of my own personal experiences, it has been equally as fulfilling to me to see that in the face of tireless forces that continue to try and perpetuate hatred and negativity towards so many [Read More]

Dez is a Los Angeles based singer/songwriter and musician who has been surrounded by music his whole life, being the son of the iconic rocker, Eddie Money. We had the great opportunity to catch Dez play with Eddie in his band several years ago. During those shows, Dez opened up and played some of his own music and we were instantly drawn to his style. His music brings to life an indie/alternative rock vibe, complete with compelling lyrics and emotionally driven vocals.

Shining the Spotlight on Steve Kilbey and his new solo album, Eleven Women

October 9, 2020

Steve Kilbey released a new solo album in September and it is a must to listen to! He released Eleven Women, a collection is at once whimsical yet personal. About the album, The album leads us through a shimmering whirlwind of encounters. After the disarming love song ‘Baby Poe’ we are plunged headlong into the dark world of ‘Doris McAllister,’ an evil witch who takes us ‘by the bells’. We are regaled by the Celtic wistfulness of ‘Josephine’ as she forbiddingly awaits her ‘wine & roses’ while ‘Birdeen,’ a greedy lorikeet with a sweet tooth, beguiles us with infectious bounce & color. Eleven Women is full of melodic invention & lyrical surprises. Singling out tracks for special mention is frankly impossible since this album consists entirely of highlights. Amongst these however the timelessly beautiful ‘Think of You’ shines brightly. This song has the unmistakeable stamp of eternity & evokes a sense of having existed since music began. Kilbey released a video for his song, Sheba Chiba and it truly captures his signature vocals and compelling lyrics.The video brings to life a nostalgic retro vibe. Check out the video here: The [Read More]
