Developed a real like for this band sometime in the mid/late 70’s when a friend turned me on to one of the best live albums I’d ever heard: “Live! In the Air Age”. Didn’t know the studio stuff then but this live set of lyrical flaming guitar driven prog rock that quirkily ran from glam to experimental jazz to heavy metal, to techosomething grabbed my attention. The fact that it was p

BE BOP DELUXE - AXE VICTIM (1974)Many Rock fans from the 70’s regard Singer/Guitarist Bill Nelson as an unsung Guitar virtuoso. His skills are undeniable, his speed and dexterity of fret board work leave this reviewer frankly, staggered. The major difficulty he and his band Be Bop Deluxe would endure throughout their career was one of identity, or rather changing identities. Never fixed to one .

BE BOP DELUXE: This was an abrupt shift after coming off a lengthy stint of Bauhaus. Be Bop Deluxe was a... well... let's call them a Bristish progressive glam band that enjoyed modest popularity during their time.

I was in the 7th grade, sitting in my science class, it was biology and I hated it, when they made the announcement, the space shuttle challenger had exploded on lift off.

I'm more than a bit of a pop-rock junkie. Much as I dislike pigeon-holeing music into genres, my collection bulges with guitar licks and vocal impressarios much more so than classical or jazz or country. That said, time to share. Not one post on Mog as of yet for Be Bop Deluxe. Fronted by guitar virtuoso Bill Nelson, these guys blazed a searing path through mid-seventies pre-power-pop. Gorgeuos...

Maybe not strictly new wave, Be Bop Deluxe mainman Bill Nelson always described his band as "now wave". Try to gloss over the similarities to Bowie's Heroes, if you can. It's quite a lovely tune...

I've had this urge for a while to convert my vinyl, or some of it anyway, to digital, and make it more shareable. And since recently I've been wanting to find new music apart from the Prog Rock I tend to listen to quite often, I thought I'd take another peek at the old stuff. I found Be Bop Deluxe, and was captured once again.One thing I've noticed over the years is that often when I go back to...
