RELEASE DATE: 5/2/2025
Incredible "concept" album from the transatlantic duo made of Ian Svenonius (The Make Up, Escape-ism, Chain & the Gang, etc.) and Memphis Electronic (Dum Dum Boys, NON!) who took the beloved but tired tunes of the classic rock canon and resuscitated them by pumping new blood into worn-out veins, revitalizing them with new themes, new lyrics, and new riffs to make them brand new again, merging the old with the new, completing the circle of life! A truly cosmic record! The Ancient Greeks and Romans sure had that "classic" touch. Before their empires crumbled into ruin, they set the standard with their classical forms, in art, buildings, and philosophy. They've set the pace ever since with pretenders and imitators making "classical music," "neo-classical architecture," and of course "classic rock." Once something is a classic, it's untouchable. No one would dare attempt to improve it. That would be sacrilege! After all, who could do better than Ovid, Homer, & Virgil? Or the classic tunes of Rolling Stones, the Stooges, et al? They're the gold standard of perfection; no one would dare try to improve upon them -- until XYZ that is! That's right, XYZ -- those little-known legends -- have achieved the impossible; they've taken the classics and made them even better! More relevant, more updated, more "now," more wow! They improved the classics using all the latest sensibilities, technologies and innovations. On XYZ Plays The Classics, the XYZ band -- the twosome that sang "Bubble Gum" -- take the beloved but tired tunes of the classic rock canon -- The Rolling Stones, VU, Neu!, The Seeds, Stooges, and the other Hall of Famers -- and resuscitates them, pumping new blood into worn-out veins, revitalize them with new themes, new lyrics, and new riffs to make them new again! This is the record that merges the old with the new, that completes the circle of life; it's the cosmic record that everyone needs right now!
