Single of the Week
Explode
SINGLE OF THE WEEK: EXPLODE.
“And more top-quality rock from Florida singer Michele Ari. Working with Psychedelic Furs guitarist John Ashton and a couple of other alums of that band this has a 1979 new wave feel that "is a four-minute sojourn in the realm of crystallized Brit Pop taken from the playbook of Ari's early inspirations such as Debbie Harry, The Psychedelic Furs and Roxy Music. Single of the week in a week with a lot of competition for that title.”

It was HOT!! Literally and onstage!
Michele turned around to see Mr. Brown’s two sax players onstage with her and her band, playing HER songs! Keep in mind she was only on her first debut EP at this point.
The First Annual James Brown Music Festival became the last as Mr. Brown passed not long after.

Not bad for the new girl in town to have been invited to share the stage with Portland, OR. Music royalty and a sold out house.
This show lead a local promoter to book her and her band to headline this iconic Pacific NW music venue and that show lead to the next one you see here.
