Their legacy is honoured by the likes of the Reigning Sounds; Cool Jerks and of course Viva L’American Death Ray Music. From the lean but propulsive Drone Rock style of Velvet Underground and Modern Lovers, Phil Spector’s wall of sounds, girl-group-backing-vocals of the Rayettes, to a Roxy Music Saxophone. The band has everything to offer that epitomises hip-shaking no nonsense rock and roll. To make a long story short: Viva L’American Death Ray Music stage act is an exquisite tidbit that you shouldn’t miss even if you don’t consider yourself a punk. more...
