Summer breaks are over now – rehearsed on Saturday in preparation for this week’s gigs in Venice and London.

Asked everyone what they did over summer – Don’s answer:
I spent some time revisiting some old 70’s Albums (remember them?) by Artists such as Stanley Clarke, Brand X, Herbie Hancock, Tower of Power, Weather Report, Flora Purim, Billy Cobham, The Police, Chick Corea, George Duke. All these Artists had great drummers in their bands, which had a profound infuence on my style.
The whole thing has now come full circle for me. If you listen closely to the current ACR album, Mind Made Up, you will hear all these Influences reworked and fitted into a Solid Ratio Groove.

Includes an interview and tracks – online here

Have added the new Venice date to the gig listing page – 4th September.

Look at the venue! – photos here.

Great to receive this from Pedro Rocha, the promoter of Serralves em Festa in Porto:
can say… it was amazing that, being the closing act of a festival that went on for 40 hours non-stop, A Certain Ratio managed to grab the energy that the audience didn’t know they still had and make the show a highlight of the event. The contagious rhythms, the muscular and warm sounds, the superb synthesis of freshness and history, impregnated mind and body of the thousands of people that gathered in the park for the final hours of the festival.
