The band were uncompromising. But before MTV switched to reality shows\, The Dream Syndicate of The Days of Wine & Roses were no more.We could spend a whole page just talking about the ori ginal Dream Syndicate and their debut album The Days of Wine but suffice t o say that the NME\, Melody Maker\, Sounds\, Rolling Stone\, et al all lov ed it.Decades later\, in 2012 they remerged with a slight change in line-u p\, guitarist Jason Victor joining two original members Steve Wynn (singer /songwriter/guitarist) and after a blaze of touring\, they recorded their first album in decades\, How Did I Find Myself Here?The kind of comeback y ou always want your favorite band to make. MOJOThe album was surprisingly fresh (the addition of former Green on Red keyboardist Chris Cacavas provi ded lush textures previously unknown in their guitar-based music) and more surprising was a vocal cameo from co-founding member\, the long-lost chan teuse Kendra Smith.More touring (joined by now official member Cacavas) fo llowed quickly by another album These Times which refined the sonic landsc apes explored on How Did I Find Myself Here?This band is not regurgitating old albums and previous glories\, but developing with the same urgency th at a pack of youngsters would.Any fan who has been paying attention alread y knows the Dream Syndicate arent going to make another album that sounds like The Days of Wine and Roses (they havent since 1982)\, and its foolish to expect that. But they dont really need to when theyre capable of makin g music as good as These Times\; this is passionate and rewarding music fr om artists still exploring new territory with truly satisfying results. Al lMusicThat was followed by the experimental free-form psychedelic The Univ erse Inside. Just look at the song lengths\; 20:27\, 7:36\, 8:56\, 9:55 an d 10:53. Building off of the legacy of their earlier John Coltrane Stereo Blues of 9 minutes with live versions well over the ten-minute mark.\n\nBo letos: https://www.ticketweb.com/event/the-dream-syndicate-3rd-and-lindsle y-tickets/14808103 URL;VALUE=URI:https://360exp.net/events/1305967b-4108-426b-bbb8-b587b5bbfc b2 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
