Phil Manzanera<\/em> and saxophonist Andy Mackay<\/em> along with drummer Paul Thompson\u2019s (original Roxy Music band members) new live album AM PM SOHO LIVE is out now via Expression Records & BFD\/The Orchard.  Two new live performance videos are available today: their version of the Roxy Music classic \u201cLove Is The Drug<\/a>\u201d as well as \u201cNewanna<\/a>\u201d (from AM PM).  AM PM SOHO LIVE features material from Phil<\/em> Manzanera <\/em>and Andy Mackay\u2019<\/em>s recent album, AM PM, as well as notable tracks from Phil Manzanera\u2019<\/em>s solo catalogue and several Roxy Music classics.  Of the new offering, Goldmine declared, \u201cthe music that\u2019s purveyed here remains absolutely alluring throughout, both captivating and compelling from start to finish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of the material on AM PM SOHO LIVE is sourced from the 2023 Phil Manzanera\/Andy Mackay collaborative effort, the instrumental AM PM.  Recorded during the covid lockdowns, the album was so well-received it inspired Manzanera <\/em>and Mackay<\/em> to play the tracks live.  Recorded at those three sold-out gigs at an intimate screening theatre in London\u2019s Soho in March, 2024, AM PM SOHO LIVE is mixed in Dolby Atmos and also features British\/Portuguese singer\/songwriter Sonia Bernardo and another ex-Roxy Music alum, Anna Phoebe, on violin.  Please see below for the respective track listings.  Please click here to access album art<\/a>.  Please click here<\/a> to purchase AM PM SOHO LIVE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roxy Music (Phil Manzanera<\/em> and Andy Mackay <\/em>along with Bryan Ferry, Brian Eno and Paul Thompson) formed in 1971, establishing themselves as elegant, art school rockers.  Their meteoric rise continued for 12 years until the band decided to take a break.  During Roxy Music\u2019s extended hiatus (18 years!), Phil Manzanera<\/em> and Andy Mackay<\/em> joined together to release numerous albums under the moniker The Explorers.  Roxy Music returned to the fray in 2001 with an international, sold-out tour and continued to play to worldwide audiences until 2010.  In March, 2019, Roxy Music was inducted into the Rock N\u2019 Roll Hall of Fame and played live at the ceremony.  The Autumn of 2022 saw the 50th<\/sup> anniversary of Roxy Music; that same year the band played selected dates worldwide, culminating with a sold-out show at London\u2019s O2 Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phil Manzanera<\/em> is one of the UK\u2019s best-known musicians and record producers, having shot to prominence in the early \u201870\u2019s as the lead guitarist with Roxy Music. He is acknowledged as one of the world\u2019s leading guitarists and is in much demand both as a performer and record producer.  Now in his fifth decade as a professional musician, in addition to his work with Roxy Music, he has worked with many music luminaries, including Steve Winwood, David Gilmour, John Cale, Godley and Creme, Nico (Velvet Underground) and John Wetton (King Crimson, Asia). He has co-written material with many artists, including Brian Eno, Tim Finn, Robert Wyatt and David Gilmour. Manzanera<\/em> co-wrote Pink Floyd\u2019s single \u201cOne Slip,\u201d from their 1988 MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON album.  Manzanera <\/em>has also produced seminal albums for Spanish-speaking artists Draco Rosa, Enrique Bunbury, H\u00e9oes del Silencio Aterciopelados, Paralamas and Fito Paez.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phil<\/em> Manzanera<\/em>\u2019s new memoir \u201cRevoluci\u00f3n To Roxy\u201d was released to critical acclaim last year.  \u201cRevoluci\u00f3n to Roxy\u201d contains over 100 color and black and white photographs and covers his life and times with Roxy Music and a cast of musical royalty.  The memoir spans from the early days of Roxy to the group\u2019s second and third acts and their induction into the Rock N\u2019 Roll Hall Of Fame.  A companion music CD, of the same name, is also available and features ten Phil Manzanera<\/em> tracks in total, including five previously unreleased songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saxophonist Andy Mackay<\/em> is a musician, composer and founding member of Roxy Music.   Over the years he has recorded solo albums and other projects for TV and films, including Rock Follies, a two series television drama with music, now relaunched to great acclaim as a stage musical.  The TV show won many awards including several BAFTAs and the album of the music charted straight in at number one in the UK charts and spawned a hit single and a second hit album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, Andy<\/em> has recorded several solo albums: In Search of Eddie Riff (1975), Resolving Contradictions (1978) and London!Paris!New York!Rome! (2007) as Andy Mackay<\/em> and the Metaphors.  He has worked as a collaborator with many great musicians, has written a book on electronic music and, taking a break from music, studied Theology at London University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His latest work, 3Psalms, a synthesis of his various influences: rock, classical, electronic, sacred and secular – was premiered at London\u2019s South Bank Arts Centre along with ROXYMPHONY.  Andy<\/em>\u2019s collaboration with Phil Manzanera<\/em> on this project has continued with their AM PM album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
