Oh! Mighty Engine is the name of Neils newest solo record. It is a record that can handle excessive listens and seems to absorb every mood I have thrown at it. It is really hard to find a record that can make you happy, sad, and can make you laugh all at once.
One night while in the studio with Neil Halstead a friend questioned him as to what kind of music he played. Neil’s extremely thick beard turned into a smile as he said Nylon Rock before laughing and turning back to his beer. I dont think that description offered any clarity to the asker, but to me it seemed perfect: a self effacing term to help him deal with the fact that he, a former shoegazer, was making a solo record and his main weapon was simply a nylon string guitar and a couple of shakers.
Hey Friends-
Just wanted to let everyone know what’s going on in Zach Gill’s musical world this summer. First off Zach will be releasing his debut solo album July 29th entitled Zach Gill’s Stuff on Brushfire Records. The album features special appearances from Jack Johnson and Tristan Prettyman. He also called on ALO band mate Steve Adams, as well as Adam and Merlo from Jack’s band to lend their musical hands to the project. You can pre-order it now from Newbury Comics and receive an autographed cd booklet from Zach here.
You can also catch Zach on stage this summer as he will be manning the keys for Jack as they wrap up their world tour with a run through the states and a few shows in Canada. If you are lucky enough to make it to one of the shows, keep your eyes and ears peeled for a tall man tickling a beat up accordion early in the evenings. Rumor has it that Zach will be making special appearances in the village green rocking your socks off and hanging with the people.
