TU-NER Embrace Their KING CRIMSON Relation

June 2, 2026

For all the links tying them to KING CRIMSON – Trey Gunn and Pat Mastelotto having served in the band and Markus Reuter having been part of CRIMSON PROJEkcT – the members of TU-NER were never eager to delve into that legacy in the studio, as opposed to the stage where they played such pieces as “The Construkction Of Light” for a few years now. Still, after defining the trio’s own identity on 2023’s "T-1 Contact Information" and "T-2: For Lovers" from 2024, they decided to present the band’s concert set to the world, on the platter titled “Rendezvous Rodeo” which will be out on July 31st.

Interview with Tony Banks

May 31, 2026

You cannot speak to Tony Banks and avoid talking about GENESIS: even if you don’t bring up the subject of the famed keyboardist’s former band, he will. Yet focusing on it means ignoring the veteran’s solo oeuvre  Some of Tony’s work outside of the legendary group’s confines is similar to what he used to do within the collective; some of what Banks issued on his own records is significantly different and, thus, as alluring as any cultural artifacts worthy of exploration should be.

It’s almost impossible to overestimate Jackie DeShannon‘s influence on popular music, even though her achievements on this front remain understated, while the singer-songwriter’s connection to Jimmy Page would be enough to make her an important figure in that regard. Back in 1964, she, Jackie had just released her debut album a year earlier, a collection of borrowed tunes, including Dylan’s, recorded a set of self-penned demos, made available to A&R people and other industry insiders.

SLADE’s Dave Hill Debuts As Solo Artist

May 28, 2026

He may have steered SLADE for decades now, in later years single-handedly if a guitarist’s approach as a leader can be defined as such, so Dave Hill never felt the urge to strike solo. Yet how else could the veteran reach for his own memories and wrap them in music if not without the ensemble?

YES Release Historic Roosevelt Stadium Concert From 1976

May 27, 2026

Some artists may care about overloading their market and their fans’ budgets, yet YES don’t seem to belong to this category, and on July 17th, a little more than a month after their new album "Aurora" will have seen the light of day, the veteran proggers are to issue “Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, 17 June 1976”: a recording which used to circulate as a bootleg and, apparently, was remastered for official release. It’s a brilliant document of the tour that found the band include into their repertoire not only their classics and piece from “Relayer” the quintet set to promote, but also cuts from Patrick Moraz‘s “Story Of I” and Jon Anderson‘s "Olias Of Sunhillow" – as well as a BEATLES tune.
