Bio:
Space Elevator is a band which was put together by song writing partners David Young (guitar) and the Duchess (vocals). They have enlisted the services of three great players to bring the new album to life. Neil Murray, bass (Whitesnake/Gary Moore/Black Sabbath/Brian May) Elliott Ware, Keyboards (The Who, Alice Cooper, We Will Rock You) and in demand rock session drummer Brian Greene. Tired of the endless stream of manufactured X-Factor type pap, Space Elevator set out to create an album in the classic style of Queen s A Night at the Opera, Kate Bush The Kick Inside, Genesis Trick of the Tail and Fleetwood Mac s Rumours. Well crafted rock songs with great dynamics and powerful playing supporting lush vocal harmonies and instantly memorable melodies, delivered brilliantly by the Duchess. Music Riot comments. The Duchess is impossible to ignore. The voice is big and she commands stage centre with hyperactive moves and catsuit set to stun. Throw in that extra bit of onstage exhibitionism and you ve got the perfect rock package. My Reviewer states. The Duchess presents a new kind of showwoman, that the world has not yet seen. And not only is she a captivating performer but her vocal range is outstanding both live and recorded.Prior the release of their second album, bassist Chas Maguire replaced Neil Murray and joined the band.
Album:
After their celebrated debut album, female fronted rockers SPACE ELEVATOR are back with new album “Persona Non Grata” to be released next February 25th. It’s amazing that this British combo sound so downright American! This is no British Invasion nor the coming of a new wave, but if we had to put our fingers on it, it’s more like the second coming of Pat Benatar – classic, ‘70s and ‘80s-tinged, American rock n’ roll.Space Elevator continue to deliver a great blend of catchy, rocking power pop music that is rooted in classic rock with a slight ’80s radio element. The Duchess hooks you right in, delivering stellar vocals that are well paired with David Young’s limitless selection of hooky guitar riffs and grooves.While Space Elevator’s was really bombastic and flamboyant, “Persona Non Grata” is more direct, rockier, to the bone. There’s some dark tones as well like on ‘Passive Aggression’, and fun, humor on ‘Stevie Nicks Smile’.Bands today don’t write songs like these, and while the vibe may take you back a few years, it comes across as something fresh and pleasantly different. Young’s guitar work is excellent, and while a discerning ear will notice the obvious Brian May influence, the band’s style of songwriting is more in the vein of Pat Benatar, Heart and Meatloaf.A driving rhythm section, great guitar riffs and tones, sexy female vocals with rocking attitude… it’s all here in spades. Space Elevator’s “Persona Non Grata” delivers more of what you got from their previous CD, though with a bit less keyboard work, but you’ll keep coming back for more anyway.Did we mention the great guitars and vocals? This is old-school good rock ‘n roll (with a great modern production and mix), and as such, it happens to sound quite new.
