Shriekback - "The Fire Has Brought Us Together"

I’m a huge Shriekback fan and have been following and supporting them to put out new music and perform live for the first time since the early 90’s a couple years ago in London. I had a ticket to attend, but lost my passport and missed the show. Anyway, they just released a new album “Some Kind of Light” and this is their new video single from that album. The album just dropped the other day, but since I helped fund the new project I was able to get an early CD. It is truly amazing just like this single. This song eerily reminds me of “My Hubris” from the Jam Science album or something off their Big Night Music album. Take a listen, I think you’ll enjoy it.

COVID-19 and Live Events

 COVID-19 sure has put a damper on all of us in 2020.  I have not been able to do many things, thanks to my lockdown governor, but one thing I miss is going to live concerts. Back in May, there was going to be an amazing 80’s new wave festival called Cruel World about 20 minutes from my house. The lineup was incredible (see pic below). After the outbreak, they postponed it to September, eventually cancelling it when the outbreak turned into a pandemic. I sure hope that an effective vaccine will be available soon and these governors who have these ridiculously strict guidelines will loosen up the tough restrictions (probably after the election) so we can get back to normalcy and see live concerts again. Here’s to 2021 and the hope for a COVID-free environment and live music and festivals again.
