(See reply 1 for the first reviews.)


They're supporting British band The Karma Effect for the first couple of weeks, then their friends in the Dutch band DeWolff later this month (Silveroller's third time touring with them, and they'd also appeared at DeWolffest in the Netherlands last December). They have festival appearances in the UK and France scheduled later this spring and summer.

They have a new guitarist - Kenny Tashjy - who's from Boston.

From last night's show:

1. And they're getting good reviews:

From a review of their first show of the tour, in Preston on April 2:

There are flares and scarves and a real vintage aesthetic going on here, but dressing up is easy and a great look is nothing without the songs and performance to back it up. However, just one song is all it takes to prove that Silveroller sound just as fabulous as they look....

Jonnie Hodson is a captivatingly energetic frontman with the voice and charisma that is absolutely needed to do justice to this style of music....

Quite simply this is old school rock n'roll at its finest....

Much more at that link.


A review of the second show, in Grimsby the next day, is also very good and includes more than a dozen photos. The video in the OP is from the same show.

2. Silveroller did an interview for their fan club yesterday, and it was posted on Instagram:

Very long interview with all five band members, partly fan-club type questions (any new merch, have you ever fallen on stage) but mostly more standard interview questions, including about influences. I do wish there'd been a bit more about their new guitarist, Kenny Tashjy, who's from Boston. I haven't been able to find anything on his background as a musician, but did learn while watching the interview this morning that he and frontman Jonnie Hodson met on Facebook and Instagram.
