Feb 15 : "Cash for Gold" - Windsor Park Walkers (Philly)

Philly Music!

STRONG RESURGENCE

It must have been 2006 when I first heard Windsor Park Walkers. At the time they played all over Philly, at all the regular venues, including several times at the Khyber. ... And I heard them play at several.

But they suddenly seemed to disappear from the scene; they stopped doing shows; where did they go; what happened? ... I didn't hear of them or anything about them for a few years.

Suddenly a month ago I saw a listing that they were going to be doing a show at Johnny Brenda's. ... Huh? ... Was that a typo? ... I double-checked. Evidently it was true. So of course I went.

It was strange seeing the guys on stage again, in one way due to their familiarity, it was almost as if I had just heard them last week! ... ... ... ... But then they started to play!

And that was where I started to hear some changes.

The first change I noticed was some stylings a la "The Atomic Square". WPW guitarist Tom Ryan took a side trip during the past few years, playing with The Atomic Square. The Atomic Square has a lighter sound. And some of that influence has evidently been brought back when Tom returned to Windsor Park Walkers.

Along with some of that more delicate guitar work, the music they played at the Jan 25 show at Johnny Brenda's also brought a general sense of increased texture and depth. But WPW fans needn't worry; the trademark raucous WPW style is fully intact!

What am I doing just writing about it now, you say? Well, I've had a busy work schedule and have not been doing a good job in keeping this blog up-to-date.

AND HERE'S SOMETHING THAT WILL PROBABLY NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN IN MY WHOLE LIFE :::: And that is that two bands I heard on two consecutive nights out who are from two different states happen to have s same-titled song on each of their most recent cd's, titled "Cash for Gold". What a strange coincidence. Windsor Park Walkers played the second "Cash for Gold". On the previous night out, I heard "Cash for Gold" played by Writer (CLICK HERE)
