Adrian and Paul Gurvitz might be better known for their travels with Ginger Baker in the Baker Gurvitz Army, but in the late '60s the brothers helmed the heavy rock trio Gun and caught a whiff of success in the U.K. with their debut single "Race with the Devil." Using the less-ethnic surname Curtis, Adrian (guitar) and Paul (bass) teamed up with drummer Louis Farrell and pounded out some distinctive psych-flavored proto-metal. Floating about in the mix along with the guitar pyrotechnics and drum workouts are brass and string sections that aren't always welcome, but "Race with the Devil" uses these potentially square instruments well, adding texture to an otherwise brutal stomp. "Yellow Cab Man" is the highlight of the set, a hard pop number with a buzzing guitar hook and frantic, heavily distorted soloing from Adrian.

One Last Night was a series of final tribute concerts for the legendary Dutch rock band Golden Earring, in January 2026, at Rotterdam Ahoy. Following guitarist George Kooymans' passing due to ALS, surviving members Barry Hay, Rinus Gerritsen, and Cesar Zuiderwijk, along with guest artists Son Mieux, Guus Meeuwis, Davina Michelle, Danny Vera, Acda en de Munnik, Di-rect, DeWolff, Flemming and others, performed their hits to honor the band's legacy. These hits include "Twilight Zone", "Another 45 Miles", "Going To The Run", "Radar Love", "When The Lady Smiles" and many more.

There are no two ways around it, "She's Riding the Rock Machine" has some of the crassest lyrics you've ever heard, a more or less autobiographical account of vocalist Annie Kavanagh's career so far, underpinned by a fabulous funky rhythm but horribly, hopelessly undermined by the chanted title. She's riding the rock machine indeed. Good thing she never chose a career in needlework. The band members certainly have their chops down well. There are hints of an infinitely more soulful Average White Band in the soundscapes, with guitarist/songwriter Ray Fenwick letting loose with some often dramatic solos.
