THE END OF SILVERHEAD

Silverhead in Tokyo, April 2012
Following their successfull reunion concerts in Tokyo in 2012, Silverhead were planning to return to Japan for additional concerts in March 2014. The trip was recently pushed back to June/July 2014, but now it’s been cancelled altogether; as this week Michael announced on their Facebook page that Silverhead will not be performing again:
“I regret to inform all our loyal fans, new and old, that the band will not be performing again, as Silverhead. Sadly, our work commitments do not allow this, and we have decided to not keep anybody waiting around to see if we do tour again, or even commit to an album… We had the greatest time together in Japan, and it was nice to see and work together again, and keep in constant touch… It touched all of us that you guys were still out there supporting us, and it was heartfelt by the many fans that continue to. You guys made our reunion shows an event for us to treasure…”

Thankfully, there’s still something to look forward to, as a new “Best of” album is in the works:
“I’m still working on how to put it out, but ‘The Best of Silverhead’ is a f***ing awesome record. It’ll have all the heavy stuff, plus an unreleased track called James Dean, and a live version of Bright Light”, Michael told UK’s Classic Rock Magazine in a recent interview.

...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.
