I might have mentioned this somewhere else, but a while back I went to see Graham Bonnet (formerly of Rainbow ) with a mate of mine. Now, I was never a big fan of Rainbow and I always thought that Graham Bonnet seemed to be trying way too hard in more ways than one – those Wayfarer shades always spring to mind, along with the veins bursting out of his neck when he sang.<\/p>\n
In all honesty, the gig was pants (my opinion, obviously, as there were people there who were clearly enjoying themselves). But the real revelation was the support band.<\/p>\n
I’m not completely sure how Planet Of Women works. They appear to be a trio of girls, but they also rely heavily on a talented backing band – which seems that it might be composed of whoever is around at the time. This is not intended to take anything away from them at all, and I guess that all will become clear(er) in time. But the lead singer’s voice is nuclear-powered – she sounds a little like Tina Turner but far more powerful.<\/p>\n
From what I can figure, the lead singer (Jade) has been unwell and that would explain why I can’t find any upcoming tour info (though annoyingly, I keep finding reviews of gigs I’ve missed). Their website suggested an album was in the offing. Nothing seemed to appear, but when I did a bit of scouting I managed to pick up an EP\/single off eBay , and I also found a live set available for download from TuneTribe<\/a>.<\/p>\n I’ve resampled a few tracks from the live set – have a listen.<\/p>\n
