I have been reviewing my collection of Peter Brookes tunes. Now that he is collaborating with Keith Hopcraft, I was wondering how much is available commercially. A. Not much. But what is, is amazing.
My song of the day is one which Brooksie contributed to the first Dreamsville Project I was involved in: Strange Girl from St Valentine's Day Massacre.
Saw them play once in 1979, at Nottingham's Sandpiper club, and they were simply magnificent. I'll never forget that gig, one of my favourites (top 10) of all the bands I've ever seen, and that's a lot!
I'm a big fan of Bend Sinister, a bit of a masterpiece imho. A more controlled approach and probably one of their more accessible offerings. Great stuff.
I like this vocalist better than the previous signer (Antonio Palermo) He was a bit too hardcore sounding for me. (He was a nice friendly guy. I had a chance to speak with them before a show here in Haarlem a while back.)
