Page 22 - RYAN'S GIG GUIDE MARCH 2014

John Sinclair, the renegade poet, scholar and
cultural revolutionary releases his new album
called "Mohawk," on Iron Man Records, on
Monday 24th March 2014 with distribution by
Cargo. The music was written and arranged by
Steve Fly who mirrored John’s poems in the
music by initially combing the tempo of the
original songs recorded by John ‘Dizzy’
Gillespie, Charlie ‘Bird’ Parker and Thelonious
Monk.
Steve The Fly is a native of Stourbridge UK,
now an Amsterdam resident who plays drums,
spins vinyl, writes novels and literary and cul-
tural commentary. He also maintains a flock of
websites and works in various other art forms
without visible restraint. His other music
projects have included New Flesh, Garaj
Mahal, Temple Dragon band, of course he is
now full time with John Sinclair.
For those assembling posters and flyers for
gigs across the region, January also said
Farewell to Gary Grimshaw, a Rock Art
Legend, the man whose posters and covers
defined the Detroit rock scene. John Sinclair
wrote a few lines that I think are worth shar-
ing with Midlands based musicians and artists
here
“Pop culture in general is the main thing they use to keep
young people from developing any ideas.” - John Sinclair
