Dougs Movie Corner: “Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny”

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

Dougs Movie CornerHi its me at last with the next review this time its Pick of Destiny, Jack Black and Kyle Gass I am a fan of Tenacious D, and Jack’s film career has been great obviously School of rock is monumental in rock comedy. Pick of Destiny is also good i loved some of the lyrics and one liners.

Kyle looks great with a wig, i also should add that i watched it with a hangover and feeling slightly apart from reality, it happens quite a lot on tour and is not a bad state of mind for this sort of film. The young Jack is fantastic Dio comes out of a poster and sends him to Hollywood to form a band where he meets Kyle busking and the version of Bach they do is very funny and truly inspired Black at his best.

Nigels Music Corner: “FURYON”

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

nigel-corner.jpgFormed out of the ashes of ‘Pride’, this Worthing/Brighton based band, on first listening, sound like a cross between King’s X and The Black Label Society - no bad thing there!! - but you make up your own mind!

I’ve known cousins Simon and Lee Farmery for years and watched their progress in various local bands - they’re a superb, tight rhythm section and Chris Green, the guitarist plays some quite brilliant guitar behind the powerful vocals of Matt Mitchell.

They’ve been gigging around the UK and have released an EP called ‘32 Hours’ - go and check out their site and grab a copy of the cd!!!!

Travelling to Saarbrücken…

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

blog-biff.jpgHi from the French country side. Thomas and I travelling to Saarbrücken from Paris on the train. So all you British Fans have seen the two programs, we had great fun reading your comments. Although the show that went out was nothing like the first idea when they approached us. The Format of the Show of showing the band struggling and than Harvey comes in and makes us successful leaves a lot to be desired and was only to be expected. However we feel our involvement with Harvey and Channel 4 has been fantastic for the Bands profile, we cannot even list the amount of mentions me and the band got in the national press. So sometimes you have to go with the flow but It wasn´t the film we or the director thought we were making.
