SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho
KITE PARADE, brainchild of multi-instrumentalist, singer songwriter Andy Foster, is proud to officially release the new album 'Retro', now available on the band's Bandcamp page. The follow-up album to the critically acclaimed ‘The Way Home’ released in 2022, 'Retro' features six brand news songs, continuing from its predecessor with emphasis on melodies and big choruses, drawing influences from bands such as Frost*, It Bites and Genesis. Once again, guest drummers Nick D’Virgilio (Big Big Train) and Joe Crabtree contribute, and all the mastering and mixing duties are supplied by Rob Aubrey (Big Big Train, IQ).

Andy Foster had this to say about the new album:
“Following the amazing reaction to ‘The Way Home’, which blew me away, I am excited to be releasing Kite Parade's 2nd album ‘Retro’. I can’t seem to write a song where it doesn’t suddenly go off on a (slightly weird but hopefully interesting) tangent before coming back for a good old chorus! In some ways ‘Retro’ carries on in the same vein as ‘The Way Home’, as a couple of the tracks were written around that same time period and of course I’m once again blessed with my genius dream team of Nick D’Virgilio and Joe Crabtree on drums and Rob Aubrey at the helm for mixing and mastering.”
“Once again Steve Thorne has contributed some very thought-provoking lyrics to a couple of songs including the end of album ‘epic’ ‘Merry-Go-Round’. I think I know what it’s about, but for the definitive explanation, you’ll have to ask Steve! Stylistically, I think we’re in familiar territory but maybe ‘Retro’ has an ever so slightly darker feel. I can’t wait for everyone to listen to the album.
"After starting out as a studio-based project, I'm happy to announce that I’m in the process of putting a band together to get Kite Parade out there playing live at festivals and support slots. Exciting times ahead! After a lifetime of playing covers, I’m trying hard to imagine what it’ll feel like to perform my own songs. I just hope that I’ll be able to stop smiling long enough to actually sing!”
