,

In pursuit of ever more bizarre music and unusual musical experiences and in part thanks to ArcTanGent and its ever expanding list of oddball alumni, Jase W has discovered HENGE. So to paint a picture, several intergalactic shaman/mystic types of varying degrees and er, species, have formed a musical outfit that produces all manner of wacky electronic songs with a smattering of psych rock to create music about mushrooms, Tardigrades, and travelling through space and all that cool shit…

,

We ourselves were first introduced to these Northern Ireland alt-rockers when they forced us into musical #Servitude with their debut EP nigh on 18 months ago, subsequently going on to give last year’s Bloodstock Metal 2 The Masses competition a fair oul rattling with a trio of highly impressive performances.

Benmont Tench ‘The Melancholy Season’ (Dark Horse Records)

,

It may be fair to say that the name of Benmont Tench, legendary keyboard player and founding member of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, may not be as well known as the huge roster of legendary artists he has worked with over the years, especially when that diverse roster includes Stevie Nicks, Willie Nelson, Alanis Morissette, Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, The Replacements, The Screaming Trees, John Prine, Waylon Jennings, John Fogerty, Elvis Costello, the Rolling Stones and Johnny Cash… That’s some list. Now Tench takes centre stage himself with the release of his second solo album ‘The Melancholy Season’ on Dark Horse Records.
