They blew the bloody roof off the last time we promoted them (see pic), so we were delighted to hear from lead guitarist Mark Dawson about their forthcoming gig at The Orchard Theatre, Dartford, on Wednesday 22nd July - and we will be there! Voted WRC Best Tribute Act of 2012, Purple Zeppelin are proud to pay tribute to the two greatest Rock Bands of all time, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin – together on the same bill for the very first time!!!

You wait ages and then three come along at once. Yes our third 'Introducing ...' feature in as many days is London Hard Rock outfit Angelflame who are currently riding high in the top 40 of Reverbnation London Rock Charts! Founded this year, the band consists of Thomas Erbi - Vocals, Mark R. - Guitar, Joe Almolda - Bass and Arthur Grochowski - Drums. And with influences such as Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Europe, Queen, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin you can see why Angelflame are our 'Track Of The Day'!

Other than seeing Bruce Springsteen live at Hyde Park in 2012 - another highlight of the day was catching South Carolina Rock band Needtobreathe earlier in the proceedings - and yes if you look carefully - they are actually on that Hard Rock Calling poster! Anyway the guys are back tonight at The Koko in London and our Vid Of The Day is dedicated to them - taken at The Borderline almost five years ago.

Maybe Fleetwood Mac will still be doing what they do 20 years from now. It wouldn’t surprise me writes Wrinkly The Silver. They lived through peak self-destruction, through the decades when bands were losing members left and right to the side effects of 20th century music culture, lived through the years when fame sounded a lot like a death knell. They endured more fractures in public than many people have to deal with in private. But Fleetwood Mac were lucky. They made it out. You can read the remainder of Wrinkly The Silver's superb review here - in the meantime our Vid Of The Day is footage from the O2 Arena, London gig.

Given that The Who played there in 1974 and 1976 - the WRC couldn't pass up the opportunity yesterday of putting Wrinklystock IV up in lights! Seriously if you look very closely at the right hand bottom corner of the Valleys big screen you will see our poster promoting our T.Rextasy charity gig! In fact yesterday's game at Charltons ground in South East London raised money for the very same learning disability charities we are supporting at the Mick Jagger Centre on Saturday 21st November. Anyway the bad news was that AJ's team lost 3-2 but the good news was that they raised over £2,500! As The Who would say - "Bargain"!

All roads led to a special London show at The Borderline last night where U2 2 were in concert with all money raised going to Mencap. The show had been set up with ambassadors from Mencap including The Edge’s cousin, Ciara Lawrence Evans, making a speech to highlight Mencap’s ongoing work.
