Quite frankly they are fantastic. Not only have they brilliantly captured the Roxy sound but they have also captured the Roxy attitude. Ok, they may not look exactly like Roxy but, when you see them live it doesn't matter. The mannerisms, musicianship and style are all there in spades. As you haven't seen them live, its grossly unfair and ill informed of you to start saying they should admit defeat. See before you criticise.

Remake Remodel are the Roxy World's best kept secret. Phil Manzanera was quoted at the Roxy Reunion Press Conference that the reason Roxy got back together was because Roxy haven't got any "tribute" bands, (apparently he scours the back pages of the music mags to find out.) I think that just suited the story at the time. Phil's webmaster, erstwhile "plucker" and raffle fixer extraordinaire Mr Bill MacCormick joined us at A Mad Affair 1 and was very impressed by their authenticity (as was Ferry's representative Juliet Mann, as I mentioned previously). TGPT certainly knows of their existence and is keen to hear them.(That's assuming you know who TGPT is). >Looked at the pics, it's obvious that these guys are trying to live their dream. They don't do a bad job of living our dreams actually. We can practically write the set list for them. In fact, at the Remake Remodel belated Xmas Party this year we all went head to head to answer Roxy Trivia questions. The winner got to pick the next number. Thankfully I was rubbish or they'd be playing Beauty Queen all night. >The lead singer obviously has studied Ferry, from the poses and pulled faces he thinks he is. Should look in the mirror though, and admit defeat. The Remakes have never pretended to be look-alikes - Cor would be Iggy Pop if that were the case. They are however, amazingly authentic in their sound and style and even more than that- they're original. They occasionally do their own arrangements - San Simeon/Dream home is an example. Ron is so convincing in his Ferry mannerisms you soon forget that he sings in a slight Dutch accent and that he isn't a dead ringer for Ferry. Sometimes it's hard to believe you're not listening to an obscure Roxy bootleg. >Lets be honest, there are so many people who want to be Mr Eff, I can't imagine a German or Dutch guy portraying the geordie man well. Well that's because maybe a) you need to see them before you can make that judgement or b) you have no imagination. I stood next to Ron at the Hammersmith Roxy gig last year and he sounded more like Ferry than Ferry! >Best impersonation of Ferry in my book... See that's where you're going wrong. Remake Remodel are not impersonators, they're very talented musicians in their own right paying tribute to the music that has influenced them, and musically they get more and more proficient every time you see them. Leslie, the sax player, could slip effortlessly into Ferry's line up right now, and probably show a bit more reverence that Iain Dixon during Tara!! But Ed mate, I don't blame you for being sceptical. We all were at one stage or another. Until we saw them play. Boy have you got a treat in store. As Ron always says, next time is the best time.

Unfortunately almost all brain-tumours will kill you in the end. That goes for both so called benign and malign tumours.

In the brain even the so called benign tumours keep on growing until they kill you, so benign is maybe not the right word.

I didn't know anything about Roxy Music or Bryan Ferry really prior to December 2nd 2001. Of course I had heard songs like Avalon, Love is the drug and Let's stick together, but "knowing" oxy or Bryan, not really. A friend of Ronm asked me to see if I could take some pictures of the band, which I did. Started listening to the setlist again and again, performed by the real people instead of Re-make for a long time. The music was addictive, but the thrill of a live performance of the songs kept me going to see Re-make any time possible. Since then I've become close friends with Ron and I am glad to know all the guys personally. These guys have no false hopes, don't pretend to be better or equal to the real thing. All they want is pay tribute to the wonderful music of Roxy an Ferry. Not te be popstars, but to please the growing audience of mostly real RM/BF fans, or try to persuade ignorant people like me to discover the magic of RM/BF. The band members are very modest about what they can do, it's the fans that can judge on they performance, and looking at all the reactions here I'm glad to see how many people stand up for them. But on the website you can find a link to some of the songs done by Re-make/Re-model. All of them are on a pretty slow server, so you really need to have some patience, sorry about that. But I would like to invite you to go there anyway and download their songs and listen to them. Apart from those Cor Broersen will most probably post more songs in the future, check for those through the link on our site or go there directly (http://www.geocities.com/corbroersen/try.html). Don't forget to download and install Real Player (http://www.real.com) first so you can listen to the songs. If you have any problems down;loading the songs, let me know and we'll try and work something out. Hope you will enjoy the songs like I do.... and after all I'm just the webmaster/photographer.... and a ver big fan of Re-make/Re-model Greetz, Edwin At 03:56 18-9-02 -0400, EddieLeyland@aol.com wrote: >Maybe I'm showing my ignorance here, but who are they, can't say I have ever >heard of em.

Phil did said so indeed but the timing was different. Ron first started out with Remake in the early 1999ties I thought that the pressconference was in march or april 2001, while A Mad Affair was in februari. And rumours about remake were present at the time. When we read about that quote at the time and even still, we are like: o jeah...sure.(tong in cheek?) Knowing better than that. We started out when plans for a roxyreunion where in the same stadium as the nasa's plan to bring people to Saturnus. But what can you expect, Phil saying Yeah there is a best kept secret from Rotterdam but boy, do they kick ass!? (reffering to The Spot) So we really love Phil's reaction. We are almost sure that 'they' where in the know, and than to denie the 'existens of' at sutch an exclusive pressconference. What a Honourfull Wonderfull thing. After been a fan for 30 years to be denied by the great Phil Manzanera, Crazy world but I love it. I love the way you see our band Jocelyn. We simply love Roxy Music. Both Ron and I are genuine fans ourselfs and when I was ask to play in Remake in september99 beeing a fan and keyboardplayer I just could not refuse. I had to do it, try it. That great, beautyfull, Marvellous, soulfull, rocking and bobbing music from Roxy Music heard a lot on the radio but never the old stuff, gone, not to be played anymore, what a sour waste (and lets face it The Old Stuff sound as modern today as it was in 72)To bring that magic alive, ment to be a short term tribute project.(we just cannot stop it) And then to find out at our gigs the response from people of all ages that love or don't know Roxy Music and are so entertainted by Re-make/Re-model when they hear this music, sometime's for the first time in their live's, beeing played live! We have no pretentions other that to say: Look this is what roxy was/is about, this was the wonderfull Music that they made. And the clothes and look's...Whell,..there are people who compared me to Eno on my look's, Funny thing is In effect to the show I have grown my hair since I joint a band previous to Remake, and at this moment I look exactly like I did in 1971, before I ever laid eye's on even a picture of Eno. I've alway's find that guy looked a bit like me, if I was to shave my head I would look like him now. Looking Like Iggy???......I am a passenger....and i ride and i....la la la la..... The suits are a must in my opinion. It transcend's style and entertainment. I mean, noone goes to the circus if the clown's would not dress up. There have to be The glitter and lights and glamour and hey, with that music...come on. I just love bands in anykind of dress up, it ads to the show, make belief, fantasy and inspiration. Whe're no plummers or busdrivers (not to speak of our daytimejobs, I only wish I was a plummer) whe're entertainers. We dress up for the show, would it be other suits we would look like bleussingers (BBKing anyone???)or punkers. And thats not the (in)crowd we see at our gigs So Thank You Jocelyn, we love you ;-) I(we)will write a song in your Honour (I've already told you of some plan's of ours about putting some of the more softer songs that won't work with a noisy audience online) See you at another Change Meeting!

"Who in gods name is David Bowie" - concert to be broadcast on Radio 2 October 5th. From - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/2267128.stm Bowie plays exclusive date Bowie recorded the show for his daughter Rock legend David Bowie played an exclusive gig for less than 200 people in London - and filmed the show for his young daughter. The 55-year-old performed the special gig at the BBC's Maida Vale studios in west London, which was recorded for a Radio 2 special to be broadcast next month. He performed the track Bewlay Brothers - from his 1971 album Hunky Dory - live for the first time, but had to use lyric sheets to keep up, because, he said, "there are more words in this than War and Peace". Bowie used a hand-held camera to capture parts of the show for his two-year-old daughter Alexandria back home with his wife Iman in New York. "This is just to show my daughter exactly what sort of person I associate with," he said, focusing his lens on the fans. The crowd for the invitation-only show included Radio 2 DJ Jonathan Ross, comedian Ricky Gervais, writer David Baddiel and BBC chairman Gavyn Davies. Of the 10 songs he played, most came from his recent Heathen album, which saw him do battle with some of the UK's best up-and-coming artists for Tuesday night's Mercury Music Prize. But he also played Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill's Alabama Song - which was a single in 1980 - and Look Back in Anger from the Lodger album. He also played 1974 single Rebel Rebel, telling the audience: "This is one that I said I'd never play again - and true to my track record, here it comes." The concert will be broadcast on Radio 2 on 5 October. -= )-(eather =- >--------------------< hjames@thewebgal.com My Music Trading Lists: http://www.thewebgal.com/trades/ The Roxy Music Archives: http://www.thewebgal.com/roxymusic/ >==========================================================< ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon Avalonians on tour 2002: http://helios.unive.it/~tcecilia/meetup.html US ticket sale info: http://www.thewebgal.com/roxymusic/ (updated weekly) ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V7 #313 **************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
