  • Stereo Embers The Podcast: Ian Wright (The Jack Rubies)

    Stereo Embers The Podcast: Ian Wright (The Jack Rubies)
    May 1 2024
    "The Clocks Are Out Of Time" The East London outfit The Jack Rubies may have gotten their start in 1987 and quickly fired off two brilliant albums--1988's Fascinatin' Vacation and 1990's See The Money In My Smile--but that was it; they literally dropped off the musical map. And it was a weird disappearance because they were poised for big things--they had critical acclaim, they'd toured with The Triffids, They Might Be Giants, Modern English and the Blow Monkeys and were fan favorites on MTV's 120 Minutes. So what happened? Where did they go? Well, the short answer to the first question is, they went on hiatus. And the short answer to the second question is New York, North Carolina and England. That clears nothing up, right? Let me help a bit: The musical landscape was changing, things got weird with their record company, they were young men acutely aware of getting older and it just didn't seem to make sense to go on. I'm oversimplifying, but that's kind of the gist of it. The band's singer Ian Wright will fill in the gaps. Bummed as fans like me were that they were gone, the good news is they're back. Firing with the same melodic accuracy and pop smarts that endeared them to fans in the first place, the Jack Rubies' third album Clocks Are Out Of TIme is a startling and welcome return to form. Filled with unforgettable hooks and lyrical smarts the Jack Rubies are not only back, they're back with their original lineup. And this isn't just unfinished business--there's more music on the way. www.bigstirrecords.com www.thejackrubies.bandcamp.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com www.bombshellradio.com Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

  • Stereo Embers The Podcast 0380: Abby Hamilton

    Stereo Embers The Podcast 0380: Abby Hamilton
    Apr 24 2024
    "Good Thing" Her new album might be called The #1 Zookeeper (Of The San Diego Zoo) but Abby Hamilton does not hail from San Diego. The singer/songwriter was born and raised a little over two thousand miles away in Wilmore, Kentucky. Hamilton's family was a musical one--so much so, in fact, that she has aunts who sang in a Southern Gospel group called The Hamilton Family. But lineage aside, what Abby started to realize when she was in college is that artists like Bruce Springsteen, Kris Kristofferson, Bonnie Raitt and Jason Isbell have been having musical conversations with each other through their art and she wanted in on that dialogue of collective consciousness. Well, she's in. Her album is a startling and thoughtful blend of rootsy swagger, blissful Americana and lyrical smarts. It's one of the most riveting and fully-formed debuts in recent memory. www.abbyhamiltonmusic.com (http://www.abbyhamiltonmusic.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

  • Stereo Embers The Podcast 0379: Phil Manzanera (Roxy Music)

    Stereo Embers The Podcast 0379: Phil Manzanera (Roxy Music)
    Apr 17 2024
    "Revolución to Roxy" Yes, the London-born guitarist and producer Phil Manzanera is part of one of the greatest bands of all time, but that really isn't the story. It's just part of it. Like, 10% of it. Which is crazy when you think of the cultural impact of Roxy Music, but the fact is, Manzanera has lived an interesting life that goes far beyond his tenure in an influential rock and roll band. His book Revolucion to Roxy explains everything and after you hit the first chapter you'll see his origin story isn't a simple one. He covers being multi-racial, traveling around the world as a kid and witnessing actual revolutions in Cuba and Venezuala, being sent to a posh boarding school, and the sudden death of his father. And all that happened before he was fifteen. An old story is a guy picks up a guitar and his life changes and that's for sure a big part of the story here, but the long-time history buff only started to understand why he was drawn to music in the first place years later. It turns out that Manzanera is a direct descendent of an Italian opera singer. And a Jewish pirate. I'm not joking. But the more he digs, the more answers start to show up that form an historical polaroid that's still coming into focus. Revolucion To Roxy is a brilliant read, filled with narrative velocity and authorial poise, but it's also the story of a guy who's figuring out who he is in real time. And the reverse engineering is as surprising to him as it is to us. For example, his dad worked for the British Overseas Airway Corporation. Or did he? Being drawn to music was free will. Or was it? You get the idea. Revolucion To Roxy is a marvelous blast of biography and self-examination and it really explores the idea that history is shooting through our DNA and even if you ignore it, it's going to tap you on the shoulder and point you wherever it wants. www.manzanera.com wwwwww.roxymusic.co.uk www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.bombshellradio.com Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com
