To be in one exhilarating band is commendable. To start again and be just as great, if not better than the previous one reveals massive talent. Chicago's Curvey Gregory is certainly a major talent and getting about more Gig wise these days where people witness the man at his best.
The Luck Of Eden Hall were always special. The type of band that you get excited about when a release is near and frustrated at because it is an impatient wait. There were more outlets that covered the Psych scene in their time, in what was still a buoyant internet scene, unspoilt by social media.
The second coming of Gregory was the magnificent Custard Flux. A band that initially was more about analogue and non Electric, but over the five albums, they got more and more Electric. You can read our Reviews of the Custard Flux albums here y searching the Review Archive.
Again not as Psych as you might expect for Dr Sardonicus, the band are somewhere between Psych and Prog, but with songs built on riffs rather than terminable solos. Extremely melodic with a vocal that is not a million miles away from Peter Gabriel and just as adaptable.
It is always a delight to see him over here. Gregory is a multi instrument talent with a killer detail for arrangements and an ability to wander off into different tangents without ever losing the focus of the song. Yet he can play around with and lean on a killer riff. Enjoy the Festival Performance of the five piece.
You can listen to and buy the album here. It is available on CD and as a download.
