A live album as your debut is not a bad idea for some bands. LA blues band The Red Devils with Rick Rubin’s guidance had that idea back in 1992. Even simpler, they simply recorded the opening set at the Monday night residency at the departed King King club (now resurrected) in Hollywood. And what [...]

How’s this for lazy blogging. A repost of something I did in my days as Ranty. One of my favourite bands and worthy first post in the ‘Best Band You Have Never Heard’ category.
