#TrackoftheWeek Dead End Street 'Dead End Street' was The Kinks' comment on poverty at the time. A song full of character, and yet containing an underlying sense of hope. Dave said the song reflects a fondness for the past, whilst also expressing a determination for change.

"I’m gonna wave my freak flag high ..." "If 6 Was 9" represented yet another bold creative leap forward for Jimi Hendrix. It was recorded over the course of two days (May 4-5, 1967) at Olympic Studios.

We recorded our new single yesterday at Gizzard studios. Spent all day on the one song, layering it up which was loads of fun. It won't be released till next Feb which is ages away - but it will be released as a 7" record which we hope will make it worth the wait!

Jam out to Jefferson Airplane all 🌸 Summer of Love! 🌸 The Summer of Love in 1967 was a magical time when Jefferson Airplane and other bands defined a generation with their music. Hit play on classics like “Good Shepherd” and more to embrace the counterculture era here:
