View Jeff Lynne’s performance of 1975 classic on Jimmy Kimmel

Jeff Lynne’s ELO appeared on US TV show Jimmy Kimmel live this week to perform classic track Evil Woman, from 1975 album Face The Music.

The performance is part of their promotional activities for latest album_ Alone In The Universe_, launched last month.

Mainman Lynne recently discussed his attitude to playing older pieces, saying: “They all become something different as the years go by. Some that I thought are very straightforward aren’t at all. I sing them now and realise what they’re about – usually grim stuff like crap relationships.”

ELO tour the UK and Europe starting in April.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
