Hoochie Coochie Men - Live At The Basement - incl. CD - VINYL LP

SPACEHOG / CHINESE ALBUM The second (1998) from the British expat group Spacehog, The Chinese Album was originally conceived as the soundtrack for a movie called Mungo City; the movie never got made but thankfully the album retained the glam/power pop song by the same name (which, in a just universe, would have been a big hit)! This record never really got it's due, partly because the band took three years to follow up on the success of their debut album Resident Alien and it's hit InchIn the Meantime.Inch But The Chinese Album, in many ways, is a much more fully-realized work than it's predecessor; instead of merely playing at being a glam-rock band, Spacehog here crafts a fully-realized sound and aesthetic, with nods to such artists as Queen, Badfinger, The Kinks, and even R.E.M. (Michael Stipe makes an appearance on the mellow InchAlmond KissesInch). And the songwriting (e.g. InchLucy's ShoeInch) is consistently strong, making The Chinese Album one of the late '90s' great lost records.

Live at The Basement captures a rare and electrifying performance by Jon Lord, legendary keyboardist of Deep Purple, alongside Australian blues outfit The Hoochie Coochie Men and special guest Jimmy Barnes. Recorded in Sydney in 2003, the concert is a celebration of classic blues, soul, and rock, delivered with raw energy and masterful musicianship. Jon Lord's Hammond organ anchors the set with rich textures and expressive solos, while Barnes brings his unmistakable vocal fire to several standout moments. The ensemble-featuring Tim Gaze, Bob Daisley, Rob Grosser, Jim Conway, and others-delivers tight, soulful arrangements that pay homage to the roots of rock with authenticity and flair. The setlist spans traditional blues standards and original material, all performed with passion and spontaneity. The chemistry on stage is palpable, blending British rock heritage with Australian blues grit. This offers a front-row experience of a unique collaboration, showcasing Lord's versatility beyond the hard rock realm. Ideal for fans of Deep Purple, classic blues, and live performance collectors, Live at The Basement is a vibrant document of musical camaraderie and timeless groove.
