STRING DRIVEN THING - To know you is to love you

Back in the 70s, when there was no MTV, real music fans went underground digging for gold, and found bands like String Driven Thing. Fronted by Glaswegians Chris & Pauline Adams, they were part of the famed Charisma stable, alongside Genesis, Lindisfarne & Van Der Graaf Generator and by the time they split in 74, theyd released three cult albums, the last of which, The Machine That Cried was hailed at the time as a staggering achievement by the Guardians rock critic, Martin Walker. The 90s saw occasional String Driven reunions, one of which was recorded for posterity [$uicide Live in Berlin]. while Chris rare German solo album [The Damage] also surfaced on the esoteric Ozit label. But behind the scenes, his sons were growing up, infected by the same old music bug, and gradually he was drawn back into performing. Now comes the Things first studio album in 30 years. Entitled Moments of Truth, it features ex Zydeco Ceilidh Band rhythm section Andy Allan and Dick Drake, guitars from sons Robin and Mervyn and banjo mandolin and bottleneck from George Tucker of the Berlin lineup. During the pre launch period, theyre doing a series of warm up gigs. The shows will feature material old and new, but anyone lucky enough to catch them will soon realise that acoustic folk this is definitely not.

Hi, KIm Beacon , my cousin, sadly passed away several years ago in his home town, Gillingham, Kent after a long long battle witth drug and alcohol addiction. Outcast by our family for clinging to his dream. We spent many nights listening to demo tapes he always had with him and trying to make new material together, its amazing to find this on here, Kim would have been so proud, as would his mother Joyce and Brother Michael.XX
