Review by Ken Morton
Kiss Of The Gypsy is celebrating the 30th Anniversary release of their Self-Titled major label debut on Atlantic Records by surprising melodic rock fans with a brand new album! 10 dynamic songs are presented, each and every one sounding like the next great chapter of this epically underrated band. While Tony Mitchell is now in the midst of a highly successful solo career, there was certainly Unfinshed Business at hand with Kiss Of The Gypsy, and songs such as Eye Of The Hurricane, Duty To Party and Runways sound like massive radio hits that fans of the first album will be over the moon for. Sin City is another solid rocker of glorious proportions while Time To Heal has a vibrant spiritual quality that is wondrous to behold. The concluding Wild Horses song is another standout with it’s thrilling “running wild, running free” lyrics rocking the listener into the stratosphere! Hope we hear a lot more from Mitchell’s Kiss Of The Gypsy!

Review by Ken Morton
Sum Of More by Solitary Friends is such a sweet and awesome surprise! Los Angeles has some of the most innovative bands on the planet, and Solitary Friends contributes to the auditory landscape with their absolutely brilliant brand of psycyhedelic indie rock. You know you’re in for a real treat when the glorious reveries of opening song Breathe Deep bursts playfully through your speakers. Tracks such as I Said Enough, My Friends, and Big Bang seal the deal with their thoroughly sweeping and memorable passages. Imagine the punk rock aesthetic of early Blondie mashed up with the sugary melodies of the Beach Boys, and you are only beginning to envision the rapturous refrains presented by Solitary Friends. And stay tuned until the end of Sum Of More for their kickass rendition of the Blondie classic X-Offender. Solitary Friends consists of Ken LaMere on guitar, bass, vocals, and keyboards, Michelle McGregor on vocals and keyboards, and Nick Liberatore on drums and vocals. Can’t wait to hear more from this amazing local band!
