Tonight, on a program called 'Rock Over London' (a British music show brought in to local American radio staions), I heard that Phil Manzanera and Andy McKay of (the apparently defunct) Roxy Music have formed a band called The Explorers. Unfortunately, that was all the information I was able to get. Anyone have any more information? Anyone heard anything from them? -- Joe Loda Analysts International (Chicago Branch) (312) 882-4673 ..!ihnp4!aicchi!joeloda

The Explorers are a trio with Manzanera, Mackay and a new singer (whose name I can't remember). Their first British single was called Lorelei and I think they've had at least one more out since then. They sound just like a weaker version of late Roxy Music. ---David

That's excellent news! I think that Manzanera writing by himself and/or
with and around the various 801 sorts is far more interesting than Manzanera
stuck with the same old Ferry nonsense (which can, on occasion, sound nice)
in latter day Roxy Music.

How could any group that didn't include Brian Ferry sound anything like Roxy? Is Rich Little the lead singer? Have they released anything in the States yet? Does anyone know if Brian Ferry is pursuing a solo career?

It was orginally due for release in early to mid April, but last word had it marked for June release. BTW, is the Explorers album out in the USA? -- Joe Loda Analysts International (Chicago Branch) (312) 882-4673 ..!ihnp4!aicchi!joeloda
