Pocket Venus – Tell Me Why

0

(review by jerry kranitz of aural innovations – click pic)
Honestly, if I could choose one band to release a full length it would be Welsh rockers Pocket Venus, whose Make It Through Your Day CDEP captivated myself and many of my radio show listeners (judging by the feedback I received). The band have a potent sound that is highly accessible but includes elements of psychedelia and progressive rock. Pocket Venus are a quintet consisting of Chris Yates on lead vox and rhythm guitar, Pete Ryan on drums and percussion, Dyfed Roberts on lead guitar and backing vox, Naldo Algieri on bass, and Dave Robinson on keyboards and piano.

The special edition comes in the form of The Very Breast of 4Q from the punk band 4Q (from whom Sons of Selina eventually mutated) & it plots the band’s brief but productive recording career from 1988-90 & includes the version of John Lennon’s Imagine which made front page news across North Wales & the North West.
