  • BRUCE THOMAS PUMPS IT up with ELVIS COSTELLO by Dan Forte Guitar Player March 1987
    BRUCE THOMAS PUMPS IT UP WITH ELVIS COSTELLO by Dan Forte Guitar Player March 1987 EVERYTHING ABOUT ELVIS Costello -his intelligent and prolific songwriting, impassioned singing, horn-rimmed visual image, ever-changing stylistic jaunts,even his anti-hero guitar playing -is so all-pervasive that his trio of sidemen, the Attractions, seems all but anonymous. (A magazine that just named Costello artist.of the year for 1986 only three years earlier misidentified the members of the Attractions in a photo caption.) But if Elvis is to be commended for his stylistic daring, the Attractions deserve equal praise for their ability to follow him down every idiomatic path, with their original fire and indelible individualism intact. Of all of Costello's talents, perhaps his strongest suit is as bandleader - not only for keeping a group together for a decade, but for choosing the musicians he did to make up his backing band. The Attractions have been together since 1977, in which time they've recorded 11 albums (plus a Best Of collection) since Elvis' debut, My Aim Is True. And night after night they have proved that at least one band (coincidentally virtually the only surviving band) from England’s punk era can play and always could. After recording his auspicious debut with uncredited backing from the American band Clover (including guitarist John McFee, currently with Southern Pacific), Declan "Elvis Costello" MacManus settled on piamst Steve Nieve, drummer Pete Thomas, and (no relation) bassist Bruce Thomas, after aluditioning, in the bassist's, words "hundreds of guys who couldn't tune up or put the guitar on right." The group's first effort, This Year's Model, not only squelched any fears of a,sophomore jinx; it kicked in with more muscle than Aim and signaled the arrival of a distinct new collective musical personality.

Elvis Costello and Blondie shared spots near the top of the UK Singles Chart 40 years ago when Blondie's "Heart Of Glass” sat neck-and-neck alongside Elvis Costello & The Attraction’s "Oliver's Army” in the company of The Bee Gees, Gloria Gaynor and ABBA. The same week, Blondie's seminal album Parallel Lines reached #1 on the Album Chart while Costello's Armed Forces landed at #3. Elvis Costello & The Imposters’ last tour in late 2018 found the combo reaching new live performance peaks. The band "came out swinging” (Star Tribune) in Minneapolis, were “unstoppable” in Anaheim (OC Register) and played an “epic and euphoric” (Variety) show in LA that even at nearly three hours “[left] ‘em wanting more.” The Imposters are: Steve Nieve (keyboards), Davey Faragher (bass) and Pete Thomas (drums).

  • Elvis Costello Began Writing Songs at the Age of Thirteen. 2017 Marked the 40Th Anniversary of the Release of His First Record Album, My Aim Is True
    Elvis Costello began writing songs at the age of thirteen. 2017 marked the 40th anniversary of the release of his first record album, My Aim Is True. He is perhaps best known for the songs, “Alison”, “Pump It Up”, “Everyday I Write The Book” and his rendition of the Nick Lowe song, “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace Love and Understanding”. His record catalogue of more than thirty albums includes the contrasting pop and rock & roll albums: This Year’s Model, Armed Forces, Imperial Bedroom, Blood and Chocolate and King Of America along with an album of country covers, Almost Blue and two collections of orchestrally accompanied piano ballads, Painted From Memory - with Burt Bacharach and North. He has performed worldwide with his bands, The Attractions, His Confederates - which featured two members of Elvis Presley’s “T.C.B” band - and his current group, The Imposters – Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher - as well as solo concerts, most recently his acclaimed solo show, “Detour”. Costello has entered into songwriting collaborations with Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach, the Brodsky Quartet and with Allen Toussaint for the album The River In Reverse, the first major label recording project to visit New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and completed there while the city was still under curfew. In 2003, Costello acted as lyrical editor of six songs written with his wife, the jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall for her album, The Girl In The Other Room. He has written lyrics for compositions by Charles Mingus, Billy Strayhorn and Oscar Peterson and musical settings for words by W.B.

  • Roots Report: Declan Macmanus at PPAC
    Roots Report: Declan MacManus at PPAC Okee dokee folks… On Tuesday, July 25, I caught the Declan MacManus show at the Providence Performing Arts Center. If you know who that is and you attended, then you probably enjoyed the show. If you don’t know who it is then you would have had a long, somewhat painful evening. Declan, aka Elvis Costello, played the last night of his Imperial Bedroom and other Chambers tour at PPAC and gave quantity, not quality. The two and one half hour, 32-song set was mired by sound issues and an overall lackluster performance. The sound was muddy and occasionally Costello’s vocal trademark “ohhh’s” or “ayyy’s” cut through the din. Lyrics were virtually incoherent. This had to have been the doings of Costello’s own crew because the sound at PPAC is usually great. The show started with pre-recorded jazzy orchestral and a flurry of album images on the video screen at the rear of the stage. Elvis entered in the darkness and waved to the crowd who were already on their feet. He was wearing a black three piece suit, a red fedora and dark glasses, and he was carrying a maroon hollow body electric guitar. His backing band, The Imposters, featured Steve Nieve on keyboard, Pete Thomas on drums and Davey Faragher on bass. The group was augmented by backing vocalists Kitten Kuroi and Briana Lee. Costello went right into his first two numbers, “The Loved Ones” and “And In Every Home,” which morphed into a chorus of the Beatles’ “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.” Costello remarked about the venue, “The architecture outshines the beauty on the stage!” He followed with “Accidents Will Happen.” He commented that, “We’re trying to take another look at these songs and see how we feel about them now.” He was referring to his take on his 35-year-old album, Imperial Bedroom.

  • Sovereign One Sheet
    CHRIS MURPHY SOVEREIGN Los Angeles may be the City of Angels, but it’s the haunt of many a King and Queen of the music scene, too. Among the kingdom’s chief Lords of the Strings is the unassuming yet wildly prolific violin master Chris Murphy, whose latest full-length album, Sovereign, tips its crown to the rise and fall of the mighty and the meek in a 13-song cycle of tuneful Americana-inspired vocal arrangements and bustling rhythms from Celtic to Kansas City to Hill Country. Joining Murphy in this celebration of his subjects—wily wenches, the prison of desire, longing glances into the valley of hope—is a robust council of roots, rock, and world music royalty. The names read like an invite to a coronation: British art-rock giant Brian Augur; Elvis Costello drummer Pete Thomas; Cuban percussion great Walfredo Reyes, Jr.; sax colossus Dana Colley of Morphine; and Iggy Pop bass man Hal Cragin, are among the first guests to arrive. Cover art by Eric Stoner As befits a court so replete, Murphy’s electric guitar throne is no jester’s chair, either, National Street Date: June 30th, 2021 boasting Blues Traveler titan Chan Kinchla, along with John Mayer/Lucinda Williams alum Doug Pettibone, and Nate LaPointe (Bobby Womack, Cubensis). Also, in attendance at the Friendly Folk Records ball is L.A. art-punk bass icon Mike Watt (The Minutemen, fIREHOSE, The Stooges, Porno www.friendlyfolkrecords.org for Pyros) and the elegant Jenny Conlee of The Decemberists, who offers arch accordion on “Your Guess Is As Good As Mine.” Even primo percussionist Steven Hodges (Tom Waits, ALBUM: SOVEREIGN, music and lyrics by Chris Murphy Mavis Staples) drops in for a spell, as does old-timey stalwart Bruce Molsky on “Pear Inspired to produce music in spite of the pandemic lockdown, Blossom.” The much-loved Lord of Bluegrass Tim O’Brien mans-up on the mandolin and American singer/songwriter/violinist/mandolinist Chris Murphy sings gorgeous harmony on Murphy’s “Boxed In” and “Your Guess Is As Good As Mine”.
