Live Review - Paula Knight - added Monday, September 08, 2008 A visit to Dundee never seems to be a good idea but Paula Knight was playing there so our intrepid Big Peter McGee found himself a carry out and some public transportation to make the trip. He also remembered a pen and paper so he could remember what he saw there. read more…
Daily Review - Sofia Talvik - added Monday, September 08, 2008 We liked "Street of Dreams" but would we like the new album from Sofia Talvik called "Jonestown"? You know how hard it is to please the Bluesbunny. Another slice of pie please Mrs Miggins as I have a review to write. read more…
Live Review - Lou Hickey - added Sunday, September 07, 2008 Interesting. Bookshops and live music. Not that common, you would think. So onward went Handsome Bluesbunny from his luncheon appointment to Borders bookshop in Glasgow to see Lou Hickey what was doing there. Any guesses? read more…
Vinyl Vault - Ian Dury and the Blockheads - added Sunday, September 07, 2008 It had been a while since this classic LP had been checked out of the Vinyl Vault at Bluesbunny Towers. So it was time for some new words on "New Boots and Panties" from Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Sex, drugs, rock and roll! read more…
Vinyl Vault - Lykke Li - added Saturday, September 06, 2008 What's this? Quirkiness attempts to make it into the mainstream? Sweden's Lykke Li releases "Breaking It Up" on vinyl. Does it make it into the Vinyl Vault? You want to know, don't you? read more…
Live Review - Jackie Leven, Tommy Reilly, Jono, Jens Carelius - added Saturday, September 06, 2008 Jackie Leven is a legend to the Bluesbunny. A night at King Tuts in Glasgow in his company is too good to miss so Peter McGee went along. Keeping our Jackie company were Tommy Reilly, Jono and Jens Carelius. read more…
Daily Review - Gary Binks - added Friday, September 05, 2008 Singer songwriters are common place nowadays. So, when one of them claims that his music is not for everyone then it might well be just the thing for the Bluesbunny. We take a listen to "An Exception to the Rule" from Gary Binks. read more…
Daily Review - The Sweetback Sisters - added Thursday, September 04, 2008 Damn, all this country music is making us sentimental. So we dug out this little 6 track gem from the Sweetback Sisters. Time for another drink! Peter McGee does the words. read more…
Daily Review - Miss Willie Brown - added Wednesday, September 03, 2008 New voices on the independent country scene are Miss Willie Brown. Because we drink, we thought them worth a listen. Country music is usually best appreciated under the influence, after all. We drink, we write, it's what we do. read more…
Daily Review - Bushmaster - added Tuesday, September 02, 2008 You may not realise it from many of today's blues albums but the blues was once real and you could feel it. Bushmaster's new live album "Live & Blue" landed through the letterbox at Bluesbunny Towers recently and we felt we had to review it just in case it was the real thing. read more…
Album of the Month - The Zonules of Zinn - added Monday, September 01, 2008 There are those of us who despair about the the state of British pop music. Like the Bluesbunny for one. Worry not, for there is hope out there as the new album from Glasgow band The Zonules of Zinn proved. It proved it so well we made it Album of the Month for September. Summer may well be over but there is still light on the horizon. read more…
Vinyl Vault - The Amphetameanies - added Sunday, August 31, 2008 Seeking entry into the Bluesbunny Vinyl Vault this week is the "Goodbye Boyfriend" EP from Glasgow band The Amphetameanies. They are a top live band but can they cut it on vinyl (it's an obvious pun but it had to be done). Quick Kermit, put the pig down and write some words. read more…
Daily Review - Tamara Lewis - added Friday, August 29, 2008 Music with a bit of maturity always goes down well with the Bluesbunny. Tamara Lewis has released an album called "Living Down River" that fits right into that category. After due consideration, Keith Hannaleck does the words. read more…
Daily Review - Anya Singleton - added Thursday, August 28, 2008 The first full length album from Anya Singleton is called "The Other Side" and it has just been released. We're always ready to be impressed here at Bluesbunny Towers so we gave it a spin. Then we put on our body armour. Then we wrote some prose. read more…
