Dire Straits in 1978. l. to r.: John Illsley, Mark Knopfler, Pick Withers, David Knopfler (Photo from Wikipedia) When the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced the names of those giving induction speeches for the Class of 2018, noticeably absent in the list was a name attached to Dire Straits. And in the days prior to the British band’s induction on Saturday night (April 14) at Cleveland’s Public Hall, members of the group acknowledged that neither group leader Mark Knopfler nor his brother David Knopfler would be joining the festivities. . . . #direstraits #markknopfler #rockandrollhalloffame #noshow #statement #rockgods #classicbands #2018 #brothersinarms #oneverystreet #band #myfavoritband #guitarbands #twang #english #britishbands #songwriter #guitarist #sexiestsoundeverrecorded

Carl’s just released three new band interviews on his You Tube Channel Carl Maloney presents, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaBW1HfvVYz-ot1IakNxepg including the excellent @deadslowhoot @TheRubyBlues4 and us @FloodHounds. 

Ours was shot at the Frog& Parrot in June, which was a great night. In case you can’t tell,  this was our first video interview and we made him work hard for answers but he didn’t give up! (We thought of all the good ones on the way home!) Also on the video is our live performance of Twisting & Turning https://soundcloud.com/floodhounds/twisting-and-turning-1. Cheers Carl we really appreciate it. 

Watch out for Carl’s Sheffield version of “Never mind the Buzzcocks” coming soon https://twitter.com/CarlMaloney/status/632874628000710656

Amanaz - Khala My Friend

I first heard of Amanaz a few years ago when I was hunting down a Toro Y Moi song. This is the only song I know by them, and because they also classify as Zamrock, I hereby declare this week Zamrock Appreciation Week.
