Purgatory Tour 09'



I have some extremely distressing news...

It's the age old question. Why did Buddy, Ritchie and Big get into that plane? Why Ronnie Van Sant? This is the human comedy playing it's hand relentlessly and without remorse to reach into the pot and take it all...perhaps smugly, smiling back at you with all the disdain in the world. That was the day the music died they say. There were all sorts of other factors and reasons why this is such and maybe that was true but there has been ebbs and flows ever since...recessions shall we say but never has it been as bleak as it's been for the 00's. Early 90's brought us a solid surge of different music (grunge) that played out as a strong music genre and has never faultered since and there has been efforts to thwart that but has that been the last real movement that can be rightly scribed into the pages of rock n' roll fame? We need movements. Not spurts of one hits. One hit wonders have their place but they are frequent. Movements need to come on slow, evolve and mature, then slam us in the face and mature even more into history where they stand tall, marked in the territory they carved out for themselves. I look out into a landscape of endless non-wonder yet I am sick with wanderlust. I keep a tuned ear, always to the grindstone, waiting. listening into the infinite void, just waiting for signs of life and yet I fall into deep dream. The day the music died. Well bury the dead. They stink up the place.

Rest In Piece Lux Interior. A real world shaker...
