How many times do you go onto
YOUTUBE to watch a music video from a classic artist only to
read one comment after the other basically stating that music sucks now
and that back in the good old days it was all about the
music? You see it all the time and sometimes it takes a true blast from
the past to agree with these oh so faceless, amateur social critics.
KELAKOS was a pop rock band from the the mid to late seventies
that for this reason or that reason didn't reach the heights
of other seventies rockers that you might hear on constant
rotation on this or that classic rock station. Recorded in an age when
music making was indeed all about music KELAKOS boasted a
sound that combined the expansiveness of THE BEATLES during
their SGT. PEPPER era and the musicality of TODD RUNDGREN.
Forty
years later when musicality has seemingly been replaced by jiggling
rear ends and pop psychological heartache, the decision was made to
release the music of KELAKOS in a 15-song collection called UNCORKED:
RARE TRACKS FROM A VINTAGE 70'S BAND - and we must say it was a
damned good decision.
