Steve Conte and the Crazy Truth

Steve Conte is a veteran of the music scene who over the years has fronted his own bands and also served as a sideman for an illustrious list of well established artists. If you’re a fan of anime, you may also recognize his singing from the soundtracks of genre classics like Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell. Most recently, however, he has been touring and recording as the lead guitarist of the New York Dolls. His latest project, Steve Conte & the Crazy Truth, finds him once again striking out on his own, playing guitar and singing lead, as the frontman of a band. He’s joined here by the solid rhythm section of Lee Kostrinsky on bass and Phil Stewart on drums.

Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has revealed he is ready to return to the live scene “in a couple of months” following Oasis’ split in August.

In an interview with Italian radio station Deejay, Liam also hinted his live return may be with fellow former Oasis members Gem Archer and Andy Bell, performing under a new banner. “We’re (ex-Oasis members) sort of doing things at the moment,” he said. “Not Oasis, Oasis is done. Everyone except for Noel.”
