BAMP Project presents Ride
November 19, 2015 @ 6:00 pm
BAMP Project presents Ride performing live in Honolulu at the The Republik, Thursday, November 19th, 2015. Tickets will be available at all the locations listed below beginning Friday, July 17th at 9:00am This is an all ages accompanied by an adult event.
Ride's stuff didn’t register in corporate demographic terms, it was too vague and indefinable. And it didn’t register in the charts. There would be the occasional triumph, as the The Smiths, the Bunnymen or the Mary Chain made a lightning raid on the Top 20, only to limp back to obscurity the following week. So, come the tail end of 1989, there was a mood of battered, hopeless optimism.
The cover of the ‘Ride EP’, was released in January 1990, showed a bedThe symbolism there, and in the first words on the first track was lost on nobody. A new decade was rung in with a possibility that guitars gone into overload might become pop music. ‘Chelsea Girl’ went to Number 71. In those days, for an independently released debut, with next to no radio airplay, this was a result. Creation had never slipped inside the Top 75 before. There hadn’t been such a buzz about a UK group in eons.
2001 saw the release of the re-mastered catalogue albums from the original analogue tapes, “OX4 – The Best Of Ride”; a timely reminder of just how brilliant, how different, how influential, and how fundamental they were to what has since followed. Alongside this was a 3xCD box set,featuring “OX4” alongside an album of previously unreleased material, “Firing Blanks”, and a live album of their Reading Festival show in August 92.
A series of live shows in 2015 across the UK, Europe and US have now been announced, marking 20 years since the band’s last concerts.
A Local opening will be announced soon.
