Like Wendy

Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes and British artist and singer/violinist Wendy Bevan will release their album "Astronomia III Heaven and Hell in the Serpent's Tail".

Long in the works, Wendy Rae Fowler's haunting full-length debut 'Warped' arrives highlighting her masterful penchant for provocative gothic blues-imbued pop and smoky enveloping atmospheres. With an impressive resume working with Queens of The Stone Age, UNKLE, We Fell To Earth, Maya Jane Coles, and Mark Lanegan - the London-based American expat has been quietly sculpting this intuitive, cohesive record, with some songs written far as back as the 90s - seeing many evolving forms since.

Originally released by Tarantura in 1995, Please Please Me is a triple CD set recorded in Osaka on 28 September, 1971 at Koseinenkin Kaikan (Festival Hall) in support of "Led Zeppelin IV". While the show the following night is available from the soundboard, I like this set for the oddities of Beatles songs, along with "Down By The Riverside" and "We Shall Overcome" in the set with a devoted sing-along attempt from the crowd. Robert Plant encourages the crowd to go a little louder and questions why they are so calm and quiet, but the Osaka attendees get into American folk covers. Released by the Wendy label.
