Day For Night

Craving for Siouxsie? Longing for those gloomy eighties sounds? She's back! She lives in Brooklyn and has taken over the vocal chords of Kali and added two capable musicians to back her up. Check out the self-released EP by Day For Night. Only three tracks, but it's a pretty good start. The tracks flow and rumble, like the soundtrack for a night on the town with a rain storm building up slowly in the distance.

Day For Night are:
Kali: vocals
Keith: guitar
Bill: drums

MP3: Day For Night - Silver Beach

Contact the band if you want a copy of order it through Paypal at their website.

Ritchie Blackmore

Travel back in time with a 1975 Ritchie Blackmore interview in Modern Guitars Magazine. He talks at length about how Rainbow got started, and yes, there is some Deep Purple in there too:

I never got very much emotion out of Deep Purple music, though I did when I was onstage. Except for Machine Head and In Rock, there wasn’t a lot that moved me about what we did and I could never figure out why. It was just misinterpretation between the guitar and the vocalist most of the time, which wasn’t their fault. I just had a very bad way of explaining myself, of what I wanted put over the top. Plus, it got to the stage where I couldn’t really say, I couldn’t tell a singer what to sing. I didn’t want to. He’s the singer. He should sing whatever he feels. That’s why it’s different in this band. Everybody’s thinking together. Nobody’s got big egos.
