Influences
Ian Anderson's compositions rank amongst the greatest songs of the past 40 years. With blues, folk, jazz, and classical influences, and occasional forays into progressive rock, Tull always creates ground-breaking music and captures our interest and enthusiasm, and no other band would be worthy of our hard work and attention to detail in attempting to capture the essence of the Tull that we love. We hope you will enjoy the music as much as we do...
Here are the best of the photos from our concert at Dix Hills Performing Arts Center on Aug. 2, 2008 w/guest performers, including Scott Harris as David Palmer, Sasha Grin as the Passion Play ballerina, and our string duo (Sabina & Anne-Marie) All photos are courtesy of the wonderful Wayne Herrschaft--enjoy more of his work at http://www.vh-tribute.com/home.htm and htpp://www.hammerofthegods.net )
RUBBING ELBOWS WITH TULL!
(Backstage after the Aug. 9, 2008 Jethro Tull Concert at Jones Beach Theater, Long Island)
Serving to satisfy the NYC/Long Island area's Jethro Tull fans' cravings since 2004, WARCHILD aims to capture the excitement and memorable live performances of Tull focusing on its first decade of unique musicianship and creativity.
FROM NEWSDAY (9/7/08), reporting on WARCHILD LIVE at B.B. KING BLUES BAR & GRILL, NYC:
"layer[s]" of "painstaking authenticity";
Paul Caruso has "studied hours of [Ian] Anderson's quirks...on YouTube to capture the youthful magic of Jethro Tull's live show circa 1971";
"Keyboardist Mike Grin...the picture of Tullian perfection"; "for one joyous hour he was really John Evan, keyboardist for Jethro Tull";
"The music impressed several Jethro Tull fans in attendance", with one fan, Frank Galliard, giving WARCHILD "definitely a nine" out of 10.
FROM GOOD TIMES MAGAZINE review of DIX HILLS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER 8/2/08 performance :
"As the band kicked into "My Sunday Feeling"....a highly accurate rendition of one of Tull's earliest bluesy classics, it seemed as though we had stepped back in time";
"a sudden rush of euphoria", "extraordinary";
"Paul Caruso, fronting the band, nailed it! Not only did his vocals capture the raspiness of the young Anderson's, but his attention to every nuance of his flute playing was superb, down to occasional guttural grunts";
"what vintage Tull [is] all about", "Warchild is...a faithful recreation of a legendary progressive rock band";
"various wardrobe changes [help] the band drift through a variety of Tull's earlier years";
"guests to the stage complimented some of the songs as they had done in the early years, [including] a ballerina, played by Sasha Grin, gracefully dancing her way across the stage and Renee [Spizz] as the "warchild" and glockenspiel virtuoso";
"Michael Grin handled the clownish antics of John Evan on piano with ease";
"Erick Milcetic filled the role of master guitarist Martin Barre with a performance...Martin himself would applaud";
Bobb Freund: "dashing...in his zebra striped suit";
"Joe Torre pound[ed] out the intricate beats as played originally by Barriemore Barlow";
"entertaining to newcomers as well as veteran Tull fans alike"
Thanks for the friend request. I'm a big JT fan, and appreciate your versions of the songs. Only saw them once, during the Benefit tour. It was awesome.
Hi guys, thanks for finding us, great to "meet" you in cyberspace. Some great vids on your page - and with you being a Tull trib band we appear to have something in common. Dave Pegg who played with Jethro Tull for years has just produced our album "Ring Around The Land" - a top bloke! Wishing you every success and good luck with your music - Best from Carolyn & Mark

Ian has been an influence on my playing and writing since "This Was" was released!!! Great tribute you've got here

Thanks Warchild, There are certain JT Songs that grab me & smother me apart from the obvious. Like a few from Songs from the Woods & A Passion Play. To Cry You A Song may be my favorite to play myself--Love those guitar riffs!! Hope you like a tune or 4 hear, Kev B.
