Subject: Bill Currie, Steve Howe, & Bill Bruford
I really hate to bog down this group with news of any other than Kate herself, but I figured I'd answer a question. I don't know if this has been covered yet (because I normally don't read anything that says Ultravox in it), but last I heard, Bill Currie had joined forces with Steve Howe (Yes, Asia, GTR) and Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson, Earthworks, Dave Torn Quartet). As far as I know, nothing has yet come of it, but I wait with anticipation. I only wish I could remember what the name of the band was...sorry. On to Kate ======> I for one, could really care less if one of the greatest musicians on earth (and beyond) has ANY ability whatsoever at dance coreography. I don't own the videos, and if I go along with the general feeling of this group (I think all but IED), then I won't ever see her in concert either. What I know, is that she is a phenomenal singer with an amazing voice (in contrast to a review I read of the Todd Rundgren concert I saw, where it was said that Todd was "a great singer with a terrible voice." I still can't figure that one out.), and I would say that she is easily one of the best musicians of the twentieth century (I'd say somewhere between 10-15). In my opinion, which is most probably worthless, dance coreography is less than pertinent in relation to musical ability. It's the musicians that I'm interested in, not the dancers (which tend to bore me anyway). Gaffa: gaffer's tape. This much is known. Does it add or detract from the musical quality of the song if turns out that it means more than this? I can't see how. I must say though that it is quite amusing watching |>oug and IED battle to the death over someone else's point of view -- sounds futile to me. Have fun at it anyway, and hold Kate dear always (I pray that IED is right about the tour).
