Another Great Review!

Rog here…

Wow! What a great way to start off a week – another amazing review of Poppies, this time from legendary rock journalist/biographer, Jeffrey Morgan…

“SIZZLING PLATTER OF THE WEEK: Lamont James – Poppies (self released) :: You better go out and get yourself a box of push pins and a really big map ’cause this here Lamont James is all over it. First he comes across like some kinda cross between Aquashow era Elliott Murphy and The Beatles era John Lennon at their most acoustically mellow (“Today”). Next he morphs into Around The World In A Day era Prince (“Song Of You”) and Candy-O era Cars at their most synthesizer saturated (“Sorry”). Then he has the good sense smarts to plug it in and crank it up on a cover of Teenage Head’s seminal single “Picture My Face.” After that he deftly deconstructs things down with an ambient electronic instrumental like “Kaüzendüx” that eerily evokes Stockhausen at his short waviest. But best of all is track twelve which lasts all of twenty seconds and contains naught but a syncopated drum solo. “Hey,” thinks I at the five second mark, “this reminds me of ‘Premier Drums’ on The Who Sells Out.” So I take a look to see what the song title is and wouldn’t ya know that it says: “Moonie.””

Talkin’ ‘Bout Last Night…

Rog here…

What an incredible night! Thank you to everyone who came out to show their support for this great cause! Thanks so much to the fantastic staff and crew at the Sound Academy who made our job immeasurably easier and an extra-special thanks to all the wonderful and *ridiculously talented* performers that we had the honour of sharing a stage with… Dave Murphy, Dan Noordermeer, Danny Marks, Steve Strongman, Pat-freakin’-Rush (the two of you on Whipping Post were astounding!), Toney Wild T Springer, Chuck Jackson (of Downchild who drove in straight from a house gig in Brantford 5 minutes before his set and *slayed* the crowd!), Jack de Keyzer, Robin Banks, Juno award winners MonkeyJunk and the legendary Randy Bachman, who graciously and enthusiastically agreed (along with Dave Murphy on keys) to join us on stage for what turned into an *EPIC* 12 minute rendition of Neil Young’s ‘Like A Hurricane’… Pure freakin’ joy in a room filled with love and incredible music, completely devoid of egos…

Thank you one and all.

Pics & vids soon…
