That they’re still a going concern 20-odd years on suggests either a dedication to the cause of rock’n’roll or an inability to get anything like a proper job.

The third solo album from mainman Donnie Vie dials down the multi-coloured chaos of his day job, even if it never totally abandons the singer’s fondness for all things Fab. Vie’s mid-period-Lennon rasp roots the dreamy psychedelia of Wunderland halfway between Chicago and Liverpool, while Lisa makes off with the riff from Day Tripper.

Dave Everley has been writing about and occasionally humming along to music since the early 90s. During that time, he has been Deputy Editor on Kerrang! and Classic Rock, Associate Editor on Q magazine and staff writer/tea boy on Raw, not necessarily in that order. He has written for Metal Hammer, Louder, Prog, the Observer, Select, Mojo, the Evening Standard and the totally legendary Ultrakill. He is still waiting for Billy Gibbons to send him a bottle of hot sauce he was promised several years ago.
