Padre Pio

Retro poppy art-rock is an label that might stick to Padre Pio, a band started by David Mosey in 2006. With melodic songs channeling mid-seventies David Bowie and Jonathan Richman, and a saxophone lifted out of the Roxy Music songbook, The Madeline EP is a warm mini pop album.

Produced by Joe McGinty (Psychedelic Furs) main man David Mosey warm baritone bath in the spotlight, the instrumentation wrapped around him like a silk sheet.

Looking for a singer

Led Zeppelin manager Peter Mensch says that Jones, Page and Bonham junior will hit the stage without Robert Plant:

"Jimmy Page has been playing guitar professionally since he was 16 years old. Jimmy Page likes being a musician. That's what he does! He doesn't want to be a race car driver or a solicitor," Mensch told 6Music.

"So they [Page, Jones and drummer Jason Bonham] did the show [at London's O2 Arena in 2007] with Robert Plant; they had a really good time rehearsing, the three of them, before Robert showed up.

"And they decided that if they could find a singer that they thought would fit their bill – whatever their bill was at this stage in their career – that they'd make a record and go on tour.
