Rod in Toronto Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I´m curious to find out how many here have heard Kino, a band with It Bites´ guitarrist John Mitchell and Marillion´s bass player Pete Trewavas. They issued their first album in 2005, and are now back with their sophomore album, "Radio Voltaire". They sound like a perfect balance between It Bites and Marillion, and have a good mix between prog and pop. The first song off the neew album is out: More info on the new album here: http://teamrock.com/news/2018-02-02/listen-to-brand-new-kino-track-the-dead-club 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoopid Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I have this on preorder. The first album was released at a time I wasn't into much prog, I'll probably check it out sometime. Been heavy into Mitchell's most recent stuff (Lonely Robot, Frost). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 One of the greatest side bands in the land. I have two of the rare digi-pack versions of there first masterpiece. As a matter of fact I have been blessed enough to actually meet Pete a few times and talk to him on the phone. Yep! Name dropping. Not in a good mood tonight. Tired of people on here ripping me for my love of music's past. Anyway The first KINO record is amazing. Thank you Rod. You are a real friend on here. I had no idea about a sophomore release. I will get it pronto. Goodnight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought about that Myles. I might just do this! I just don't want some to think that I'm some lame egoist. I really am not. I just like to have a good time on here and talk about Rush N Rock and everything music. I just have no filter. I mean I am strange. Right now I'm listening to Gordon Lightfoot. Love him.

I don't even click on it, fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoopid Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Burning Shed shipped my copy the other day, looking forward to it. Avoiding reviews until I've had a chance to listen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoopid Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 So far so good with Radio Voltaire. It's not connecting quite as quickly as Big Dream or Falling Satellites. A couple of the heavier tracks have caught my ear, but need some more listens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
