My new band “EVVY”

Posted on May 25, 2010 by tastychops

This is a new project I’m working on – pretty much dirty, loud, blues based goodness with lots of fuzz. We’re called EVVY. This is a quick clip of some rehearsal room jamming. Lots more to come.

Philip Sayce in London

Posted on May 17, 2010 by tastychops

Philip Sayce playing to a small crowd at the 100 Club in London just last week. Great SRV-ish playing and killer strat tone. When he’s not tearing down some slow blues Philip plays sideman to Melissa Etheridge.

Seems like quite a few of the audience members were armed with cams – lots of great vids popping up.

The Crossroads Duel

Posted on May 13, 2010 by tastychops

Just a reminder that:

a) Steve Vai is the devil
b) No-one beats the Karate Kid

Who (other than Vai) would play the Vai character today?

James Trusssart Interview

Posted on May 13, 2010 by tastychops

Cool interview with master guitar maker James Trussart and a look at a few of his lovely creations. I love what he says about people appreciating his “beautiful mistakes” … create something unique and beautiful first and if other people love it that’s a bonus.
