Revolution Rabbit Deluxe

 

 

 

POUT is the second single released from Revolution Rabbit Deluxe's forthcoming fourth album, ‘The Great Divide’. The album represents a whole new change in direction: more mature; more thoughtful; and also more reflective. POUT is a landmark as it is the first recording of a song written for RRD by the bass player, Ben Davies. Its infectious post-punk joy and exuberance is introduced by a scream and the pounding of a floor tom. This energy is maintained throughout the song. As Ben explains, "The song came after a jam session early in 2020. During the instrumental, I sang, “DO THE POUT!” The remaining lyrics fell into place after that." So, what is the POUT? "I think it's the feeling we all have had as children and can still have as adults. A child crying over not getting ice cream and grown men and women who feel entitled to have the world revolve around them like they're the hero in their own movie." Prepare for the dance moves on Tik Tok. Or simply make up your own dance moves. Dance in public or private. We won't tell.

Ohibo Paronti

 

 

Bass player and singer with Ohibo Paronti, Jazzy Africana Songwriter musician, producer. The NEW Ohibo Paronti Album The Ballad of Gould out 29/4/22

The album, the third from Ohibo, has been inspired by a front-page newspaper article from the Empire News, dated 26th March 1933. The ten songs all link to form one complete story about the tragic life and death of Ivy Gould at the hands of her estranged and violent husband Abel. Research into those involved, together with the newspaper article, enabled the songs to be written around facts, together with ‘artistic license’ to ‘fill in the gaps.’ 

The initial song ideas were passed to Keith and Ian by Allan and were developed in the studio to the recorded works you hear on the Album. The journey is designed to show how perceived joy and happiness can turn into deep sadness and horror, before giving a final song of eternal hope for all.
 
Forty years ago, Aberdare’s Rhode Island Red had a colourful past from being told to be quiet by boxer Howard Winston to waking the dead at a funeral parlour, cue the realisation that they were not the only band touring that moniker.  
 
Unfortunately, they had just produced a pile of merchandise so with the help of some public house graffiti they picked a band name that wouldn’t be replicated elsewhere.
 
Newly christened Ohibo Paronti, the group performed BBC Wales showcases and high-profile gigs including Hammersmith Odeon led to them being muted as support for a forthcoming North American tour with the mighty Queen, but then the wheels fell off when a management change at the record company left them out in the cold.

Lawson Vallery

 

Lawson Vallery was born in the southern US state of Louisiana, but soon after his family moved to Texas, that is where he grew up, always moving from town to town as the family followed the great Texas oil boom of the 40’s and 50’s. Beginning in the early 50’s most of his entertainment came from listening to the Grand Old Opry and Louisiana Hayride on the radio or going to movies featuring singing cowboys like Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and Tex Ridder. It seems that he knew from an early age that a singing cowboy was what he really wanted to be, so he began to document his young life in the form of poems and lyrics.

Then at age 15 Lawson left home and struck out on his own. He went to work on an oil tanker and began to see the world. At 17 he joined the military and saw even more of the world, and all the while writing about his adventures and travels. When he returned from the military in 1964, he went to work as a welder on oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and all the while continued to write about his life and the lives of he met along the way.

In 1975 his oil platform experience brought him to Norway where he began working in the North Sea and Norway became his home. Even during all the years that he spent working in the oil industry around the world. Norway was home. In 2011 he published a book of poems and lyrics based on some of his worldly experiences.

Then in 2016 he decided to finish that dream he had started more than 65 earlier. He would finally try to become that singing cowboy he had always wanted to be when he grew up. He released his 1st album in 2016 and now his new one, "Texiana", is out.

Since 2016 he has played for a lot of people in a lot of places. He says that he has no regrets for waiting so long to start, because the of life he has lived provided him with enough stories to keep on writing songs for what ever time is left. And now with a very talented and experienced band he can share some of those stories in the form of country music.
