ROKTOPUSS
review by Alan Holloway, www.rockunited.com
Here's an interesting little 4 track EP that, if nothing else, proves that the internet really can be full of pleasant surprises. You see, when I was but a lad I had a huge poster on my wall of Lorraine Lewis, lead singer of Femme Fatale and utter babe. Their only album was pretty good, but the New Mexico band fell apart soon afterwards, with the poster eventually following suit as a jealous girlfriend made me replace it.
Now, after varying other projects, Lorraine has hooked up with drumming legend Roxy Petrucci, she of Madam X and Vixen fame amongst others, to form Roktopuss. Okay, the name is unusual, but I have to admit I love it. Of course, a good name is nothing without good music, but I'm happy to report that Roktopuss have started their recording career with four decent slices of hard rock with a sleazy edge to it. “Dogbite” and “Naked” are full on rawk and rollers with a decent bite to them, whilst “Away” is more midpaced and “Desperate” is more of a blues/country acoustic based drawl. All of them are decent songs which made me want to hear more from this band. And yeah, they both still look great...

Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving this Thur. It's been almost 2 years since I've spent it away from my Family in Kuwait. I now have the chance to spend it with them. Please don't forget my fellow Troops who have to spend it away from their Families, God bless.
Hi R o k t o p u s s! Heaven & Earth is on hiatus now as Stuart Smith and Richie Onori have joined forces with bassist Steve Priest to reform "Sweet". For those of you unfamiliar with the band, Sweet originally formed in the early 70s and went on to sell over 40,000,000 albums with 11 International Top Ten Hits such as "Ballroom Blitz", "Little Willy", "Love is Like Oxygen", "Fox on the Run", "Teenage Rampage", "Action", "Blockbuster", "Hellraiser" and many others. This reincarnation of the band reformed last year, playing their first show in June, and went on to play festivals throughout Canada and the States and had played to over 300,000 people before the year was out. During this tour last year they recorded a live CD available on Amazon entitled "Sweet, Live in America" which has received rave reviews - pick up a copy and please Add Sweet As Your Friend On Myspace! http://www.myspace.com/thesweetband Also, check out our friend Red Hot Chili Pepper Chad Smith's new band, Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats and their iTunes Top 10 Funk/Jazz debut release, "Meet the Meatbats"! http://www.myspace.com/bombasticmeatbats
