Hey blog reading folks,
Check out the brand new recording of the Bob Seger System's classic 2 + 2 = ? over on the Powertrane myspace page. We'll soon release it on vinyl as a 7" single. Our good friend Kevin Sharp recorded it at his Metro Recording Studio for his upcoming Detroit rock documentary and accompanying music compilation. While we're waiting for all that to be released, we've been sending the track around for review. Here is what our friend David Fricke at Rolling Stone Magazine had to say:
"2 + 2 = Rock!
Sung with a Michigan-rock vengeance from the point of view of a soldier up to his helmet in a firefight, the Bob Seger System's 1968 grenade "2 + 2 = ?" – basically a searing fuzztone riff and hellish-chant chorus – now sounds like great out-of-Iraq & roll. It's also way too elusive on vinyl and CD, so Scott Morgan, one of Seger's killer peers in the Sixties and Seventies, has cut the song with his band Powertrane for imminent release. While you wait to buy, play it loud at myspace.com/scottmorgandetroit"
Thanks Dave. We gave it our best shot. You can find this review in the print version of the magazine with Britney Spears on the cover.
On a side note, Powertrane / Mazinga drummer Alex King is making his debut with the brand new Detroit rock sensation Gorevette tonight at the Magic Bag in Detroit. Besides Alex, the group also features Nikki Corvette and Amy Gore from the Gore Gore Girls, hence the band name. They are performing along with Silverghost, the Dial Tones, and the Grande Nationals who are celebrating a record release. You should go check it out.
Stay tuned for more info on the upcoming Powertrane 2+2 vinyl release as well as a bunch of upcoming shows later this month.
