GREG LAKE: New album and tour (but reunion of ELP unlikely)

Greg Lake is at work on his first solo project since 1983′s Manoeuvres, with plans to set a release date of either later in 2012 or early next year. Beyond that, though, the founding member of King Crimson and Emerson Lake and Palmer is offering precious few details.

Meanwhile, look for him on a 28-date solo track through North America — starting tonight in Quebec City — that continues through May 26 in La Quinta, Calif. The concert series, called Songs of a Lifetime, is presented in an interactive, storytelling format. Lake is also compiling a forthcoming autobiography, to be titled “Lucky Man” after Lake’s early ELP hit.

Read on (and, yes, Greg does debate the pros and cons of an ELP reunion)...

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
