Mott The Hoople’s Verden Allen
and his new band Soft Ground
will make a special ‘hometown’ appearance at
‘The Lads Club’ Hereford, on Saturday June 25th 2011
Verden especially selected the venue for it’s historic link to the origins of Mott The Hoople, as this venue was the first place the band rehearsed and honed their unique sound which was immortalised in such classics as ‘Roll Away The Stone’, ‘All the Young Dudes’ and ‘Rock n Roll Queen’.
With Soft Ground, Allen promises to dig deep into his recording career with some of the old Mott classics and newer material from his solo albums.
This is also the first gig with former Tigertailz drummer Matt Blakout behind the kit. Matt said ‘Expect a real back to basics frenetic rock and roll sound reminiscent of the early Mott’
The band have recently recorded a two day live studio session which will be available as a DVD/CD package to be released later this year.
Also launched is a new website: www.softground.net
