Rock On! Wednesday, 10 December 2025 – Black Widow, Asterix, High Tide, Wishbone Ash & Nektar

Psychedelic, heavy, prog and more innovating sounds spanning the late 60s and the early 70s – Dan’s pick of the week: Black Widow, (Sacrifice), Asterix (Asterix), High Tide (High Tide), Wishbone Ash (Wishbone Ash) & Nektar (Live in New York).

Black Widow was een Britse rockband die in september 1969 werd geformeerd in Leicester (Engeland). De band stond vooral bekend om hun vroege gebruik van satanische en occulte beelden in hun muziek en toneelacts. Al vlug werd dat occulte verlaten, en werd de band een progressieve rockband.

Prog Archives review: “What you should expect is Jethro Tull-like prog rock, dominated by sax, flute, and Hammond organ. The music on this album, despite the heavily Satanic lyrics, are hardly sinister sounding, it’s actually pretty upbeat and cheery stuff, definately not what Black Sabbath done, and not even what Italian proggers Jacula (who later became Antonius Rex) had done.… Read more...

Rock On! Wednesday, 26 November 2025 – Blue Effect, Jazz Q, Flamengo, Energit & Miroslav Vitouš

Psychedelic, heavy, prog and more innovating sounds spanning the late 60s and the early 70s – Dan’s pick of the week: Blue Effect, (Svitanie), Jazz Q (Symbiosis), Flamengo (Kure V Hodinkách), Energit (Energit) & Miroslav Vitouš (Purple).

Blue Effect was een Tsjechische rockband die sinds hun oprichting in 1968 ook opereerde onder de namen M. Efekt, Modrý efekt of Special Blue Effect. Het belangrijkste en enige vaste lid van de band, van de oprichting tot aan zijn overlijden in 2016, was gitarist Radim Hladík, voorheen lid van The Matadors. Blue Effect veranderde verschillende keren van muziekstijl, variërend van bluesrock en jazzfusion tot artrock.
