TO PRESENT
‘3QUINOX’
THREE-NIGHT STAND AT LOS ANGELES’ VIPER ROOM
SET FOR SEPTEMBER 21, 22 & 23
In a live review of their June 12 sold-out show in Los Angeles at The Roxy, www.currentclassics.com said: “If you'd walked in with your eyes closed and just heard the music coming off the stage, you still would have thought a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was playing a rare club gig. Rival Sons, a rock and roll recipe of Led Zeppelin, Free, Bad Company, and The Who, topped off with a little Cream, boogied through a bounty of blues-based gems…Rival Sons has no contemporary rivals to speak of, but easily rivals some of its rock and roll forefathers with its power, passion and panache. I want more, indeed!”
The idea of a three-nighter thrills the band, which consists of vocalist Jay Buchanan, guitarist Scott Holiday, bassist Robin Everhart and drummer Michael Miley. “We’ve never done three in a row like this,” says the band, “so we’re really going to alternate the set lists every night and do a lot of different stuff you’ve never heard.”
RIVAL SONS self-released their debut album in June and are planning to tour the U.S. this fall. In a review of the album, www.pinpointmusic.com said, “…Probably the best word to describe the connection between The Rival Sons’ music and their influences is ‘homage’. They do not emulate their rock and roll influences, they pay tribute to them and build upon them to produce a sound that is entirely their own. Bluesy and soulful to raw and driving to sprawling and melodic–Miley’s solid, relentless drums and Robin’s groovy bass lines lay the foundation for Scott’s blood-boiling guitar riffs and face-melting solos, all topped off by Jay’s gritty-yet-smooth vocals that fall somewhere between Robert Plant and Axl Rose.”
