The last time I&#8217;d seen him play was&#8230; my god, was it one of the Tin Machine shows from 1991?? Or maybe a Bentmen extravaganza from around that same time? Whatever it was, it feels like a previous lifetime, one that swirls around half-remembered in my consciousness like a scene from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0020530\/\" target=\"_blank\">Un Chien Andalou<\/a>. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Writing and publishing my David Bowie newsletter, and all the accompanying magicians, monsters, mayhem and madness. Feverish travels to Tin Machine shows around the U.S. (and a few years earlier, around Europe as well for Bowie&#8217;s 1987 tour). Following all of Reeves&#8217; various incarnations (The Atom Said, Bentmen, Modern Farmer&#8230;) up and down the East Coast, and &#8211; along with my friend Sean Doherty (god knows what ever happened to <em>him<\/em>) &#8211; operating as a two-person street team before anyone was calling it that. So knocked out was I with Reeves&#8217; considerable talents and his contribution to Bowie&#8217;s cool side project, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tin_Machine\" target=\"_blank\">Tin Machine<\/a>, that I expanded the newsletter to include a <em>newsletter within a newsletter<\/em> called &#8220;Witness&#8221; (named after one of my favorite Atom Said songs), which focused on Reeves&#8217; myriad of non-Bowie projects &mdash; much to the chagrin of the Ziggy Stardust crowd.<\/p>\n<p>I pulled the plug on the whole shebang in 1993, and my need for a full exorcism and extraction from that life sadly led me to lose touch with Reeves as well. I&#8217;ll now attempt to make up for the last, um, sixteen years. First, a review of a sparsely attended yet wonderful performance with two other really great bands at The Regent Theatre in Arlington. And then a profile of sorts, to catch everyone up (including me) on what Mr. Gabrels has been up to since parting company with Bowie back in 1998.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/johnpowhidainternationalairport\" target=\"_blank\">The John Powhida International Airport<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Starting off the evening (or at least, playing as we arrived a bit late) was this local band who I guess Reeves had invited for this show (so local, they even performed a song about hanging out in Arlington Center, of all things). My friend Victor coined a term for their sound, <em>Prog Rocking<\/em> &#8211; definitely some prog rock influence (evident from their excellent keyboardist), but more focused and driving, not meandering. Brilliant musicians, and quite surprising as a &#8220;mere opening band&#8221;, as that can sometimes be a dicey proposition. I&#8217;m not sure if these were the exact people performing, but their MySpace page gives band members as Brendan Haley, Rafi Sofer, Derek Demulling, and Dave Erickson.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1255\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/regent_johnpowhida2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1255\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/regent_johnpowhida2-300x142.jpg\" alt=\"John Powhida&#039;s International Airport\" title=\"regent_johnpowhida2\" width=\"300\" height=\"142\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/regent_johnpowhida2-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/regent_johnpowhida2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1255\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Powhida's International Airport<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Their lead singer and songwriter, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnpowhida.com\" target=\"_blank\">John Powhida<\/a>, is also in the band <a href=\"http:\/\/www.therudds.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Rudds<\/a>, and has played with Peter Wolf, Sarah Borges, and The Gentlemen. Speaking with him after their set, he cited two influences, Prince and Joni Mitchell, two names I don&#8217;t think one hears spoken in the same sentence too often. Joni Mitchell I&#8217;m still not quite certain about, but Prince I can understand, in his vocal styling especially, which in this live setting was unbridled and quite impressive. And while he bears a closer physical resemblance to Todd Rundgren, I got something kinda Bryan Ferry-ish in some of his movements, albeit with extremely quirky, comedic stage banter.

I&#8217;ve enjoyed very experimental sorts of music, mainstream bands as well; heck, even some country and classical. There are those who might accuse Reeves of <em>guitar wankery<\/em> at times (knowing him, he&#8217;d probably agree), yet he&#8217;s never failed to amaze me with his creativity and virtuosity, and delight those of us who enjoy his quirky take on classic rock and blues. After all these years, he still plays like a creature from another planet, and incredibly, he still sings like Neil Young. But above all, he never takes himself too seriously. <em>He has fun.<\/em> Imagine that!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/regent_reeves3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/regent_reeves3-300x280.jpg\" alt=\"regent_reeves3\" title=\"regent_reeves3\" width=\"300\" height=\"280\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/regent_reeves3-300x280.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/regent_reeves3.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pulling up Tin Machine&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tin_Machine\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia entry<\/a> cracked me up just now &#8211; &#8220;The group was generally reviled, often receiving scathing critical reviews.&#8221; Yes. I recall when Tin Machine first came on the scene, those who hated the band (and that was about 95% of Bowie&#8217;s fans) generally blamed Reeves, as though he had led David into some skanky, darkened alley, blindfolded and gagged, and forced him to take some daring musical chances, jump around and sweat, and not worry so much about Billboard charts and fancy hairstyles.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/regent_reeves4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/regent_reeves4-300x255.jpg\" alt=\"regent_reeves4\" title=\"regent_reeves4\" width=\"300\" height=\"255\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/regent_reeves4-300x255.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/regent_reeves4.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At The Regent, Reeves and his friends performed a mix of selections from his solo albums (&#8220;Come Back&#8221; from The Sacred Squall of Now, &#8220;Arrow&#8221; and &#8220;Accident Waiting to Happen&#8221; from Ulysses, and &#8220;Leper&#8221; from Rockonica); a track from his work with Robert Smith of the Cure; a T-Bone Burnett composition, a Jimmy Reed song called &#8220;Bright Lights, Big City&#8221;; &#8220;Messing With The Kid&#8221; (in Reeves&#8217; words, a &#8220;Buddy Guy\/Jr. Wells meets Yes kind of thing&#8221;), and the Tin Machine track &#8220;Bus Stop&#8221; (<em>great<\/em> to hear that one again!). I&#8217;m missing a few, I know, but you&#8217;ll forgive me, right? All sorts of strange memories bubbled up during their set, of times long ago and lands far away. The atmosphere was friendly and loose (make that <em>really<\/em> loose), a ridiculously small turnout (I&#8217;ll be on top of it <em>next time<\/em> he comes around, I promise), but a deeply appreciative, home town audience. Wacky banter between songs, at one point paying tribute to Gidget, the Taco Bell Chihuahua who had sadly passed the day before. Hopefully The Regent&#8217;s pitiful promotion (as in <em>none whatsoever<\/em>, save for a brief article in the Globe the day before and a page up on their website) won&#8217;t deter Reeves and the others from coming back to Boston.
