Now, it wasn't that long ago that Tony Reed and his partner Dru Brinkerhoff blew us away with their blues-stewed concoction of amazing retro-rock,
Stone Axe. Knowing that this was another project from the ever busy Mos Generator madman, Reed, I just assumed it would be a one-off sort of project with no hope of a tour or chance to see the guys blow through their fiery Free/Bad Comapny/Whitesnake rock live.
Yep, count me wrong.
Great news for all you waveriders, Stone Axe is indeed going out on tour and damn if it isn't going to be dandy. I'm planning on catching them Oct 23rd in San Francisco (hey Pope, you free?) but in truth, I'm kicking myself for missing the chance to watch the amazing Stone Axe tear it up with our own Ripple brother, Woody and the Mighty High gang out in Brooklyn. Oh yeah, Ripple favorities Sun Gods in Exile are on the bill that night also. A show for the ages.
Wherever the opportunity arises for you, don't miss this chance. Stone Axe are the real deal, and I can almost personally guarantee you they'll slay it live.
