Recorded at various venues in the Untied States and Europe. PHANTOM BLUE lives up to their image of a hard-hitting, high-energy rock and roll band with an awesome force. The CD takes you from back-stage, all the way through their live performance from start to finish, dishing out all the favorite songs and dusting off a few evergreens from their first flushes of success along the way. The CD also includes new cuts like " Bleeding From Nowhere ", " Violin Song ", " Satu Saju( JoJo's Solo) ", as well as cover songs " Fairies Wear Boots ", " Move Over " and the critically acclaimed Phantom Blue version of " Bad Reputation ". And don't miss a hilarious little piece called " Gigi's Bogus Bonus Track " hidden at the close of the CD. If you can't catch the band live (though a major concert assault of the US is in the works for this summer.)this CD is next best thing. PHANTOM BLUE once again establishes their claim as " The Greatest All-Female Rock and Roll Band of All Time ". |
