Famous Groupies

Famous Groupies, who have been talked about as super high-level Paul McCartney followers, will release their new album in 2024 and will be their last! This album, announced as "the last album", was written by the late great-grandfather of the McKenzie family, Patrick McKenzie, and most of the songs were written in the early 1970s, most likely between 1969 and 1977.

A Scottish band with a crush on all things McCartney. Kirkcaldy McKenzie and the Famous Groupies are a kind of a mystery group and are heavily influenced by McCartney and Wings. "We are delighted to announce that our fourth and ultimately final album has been unleashed upon this world. We have spent these past 8 months working away on these 15 (technically 16) songs, and fruition has arrived. We set you free, Chameleon sessions…"

Famous Groupies have been busy. In 15 months, they’ve released three albums: their sparkling debut, Rehearsing the Multiverse; a compilation consisting of their debut album and unreleased material, Double Entendre; and their latest release, The Furry White Album. The Furry White Album continues to cull from the treasure chest of songs lead singer Kirkcaldy McKenzie has at his disposal, and it deservedly receives Hooks and Harmony’s 2020 Album of the Year.

Scotsman Kirkcaldy McKenzie is going through some old things of his grandfather, Patrick McKenzie, who was a session player in Scotland during the 60s and 70s. He discovers some half-written songs from the 70s - some were just ideas he had jotted down, and some were demos recorded on an old tape recorder. The younger McKenzie starts working on them, piecing them into coherent works and adding lyrics and music where they needed it, always keeping the era and his grandfather’s love of music foremost in his head. The result is an album entitled Rehearsing the Multiverse, and the band is Famous Groupies, named after one of Paul McCartney’s more eccentric songs. But there’s nothing eccentric about Rehearsing the Multiverse. It’s so reminiscent of that stress-free, life-on-the-farm McCartney era that you feel as if you’re listening to one of the former Beatles' lost albums…

As soon as it was released in 2020, Paul McCartney's follower who became a super high level, Famous Groupies' debut work ``REHEARSING THE MULTIVERSE'' has a new version with 15 bonus songs added! As the title is titled "DOUBLE ENTENDRE", this work has two faces. DISC1 records the debut work "REHEARSING THE MULTIVERSE" as it is, and DISC2 contains demos of the first album production, different versions of the first recorded songs, unreleased songs, etc. It's so high quality that you don't know why each song wasn't recorded! We invite you to Paul McCartney World where various types of songs such as power pop and folky are turning.

Love Gun was Kiss' fifth studio album in three years (and seventh release overall, peaking at number four on Billboard), and proved to be the last release that the original lineup played on. By 1977, Kiss merchandise was flooding the marketplace (lunch boxes, makeup kits, comic books, etc.), and it would ultimately lead to a Kiss backlash in the '80s. But the band was still focused on their music for Love Gun, similar in sound and approach to Rock and Roll Over, their previous straight-ahead rock release. It included Ace Frehley's lead vocals on "Shock Me," as well as one of Kiss' best and most renowned hard rockers in the thunderous title track. The album's opener, "I Stole Your Love," also served as the opening number on Kiss' ensuing tour, while "Christine Sixteen" is one of the few Kiss tracks to contain piano prominently.
