Neues über Altes aus Birmingham. Andy Cooke, der Bassist von Heronimus Fin, hat uns ein Video über eine Band geschickt, die er kennt, seit er 17 war. Lang also ist es her ;-)
Es geht um Scorched Earth, die in den 80ern Bryan Adams und Rick Springfield supported haben und dann von der Bildfläche verschwanden. Jetzt sind sie mit einem Reunion Gig wieder da. Grund genug, einiges an neuem und altem Material zu einem Video zusammenstellen. Mich erinnert das an unsere alte Diskothekenzeit in den 70er und 80ern. Euch auch?
"Scorched Earth were formed in the late 1970's and originated in Birmingham, UK. They were influenced by such bands as Led Zeppelin and Free. They went through a few line-up changes and were featured on the very popular BBC Radio 1 Rock Show presented by Tommy Vance. They were also invited to support Bryan Adams during his UK tour supporting his 'Reckless' album. After almost 40 years they agreed to a reunion gig in a well known Rock Club in Birmingham, UK which took place in July 2023. As Andy Cooke (current bass player with Heronimus Fin) has a long history with the band (he was roadie, lighting and eventually sound engineer for them), he was invited to join them on bass as the original bass player could not be found. Andy also created an intro video for the concert, which was shown to the audience before the gig. We hope you enjoy it."
