Indie-Music.com Reviews 'Music for Pleasure'
"Knox may be the name of an unflavored gelatin, but it's now also the name of a musician of the highest order, who creates a wonderfully complex assortment of people's pop music and who will, with any luck, be paying the rent by doing so for many years to come."  Check out the latest review by Todd Beemis in the reviews

West Seattle Street Festival Praise!

We had a great time at the festival.  Here is a little feedback on the show.

"I saw your performance at the West Seattle Fest. Pleased to see that your music is good live too! You have a pleasant stage presence that's charming and wholesome--kind of like watching a cute younger brother perform.  It's great to see people like you following their dreams. I think there's a deep wisdom in your heart that has done a fantastic job of leading you toward your life path so far. Keep listening to it--life is too short not to.   I enjoy your music. I will definitely give your CDs as gifts to my friends. Thank you for sharing it with the world. You can add me to your mailing list and hope to see your at more venues. Smile, Dao".

Fremont Fair Encore!
June 17th Knox along with Brian Oaks, Jeff Brumley, and Jeff McCormack played a great set at the Fremont Fair in 80 degree sunshine!  Much to our surprise the audience asked for an encore so we gave them a rocking rendition of "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is"  Look for photos soon in the gallery.

TOST Showdate Cancelled
I see a trend.  TOST has cancelled the July Showdate and is moving to an all DJ format.  It's all so sad.

UP Fest. Cancelled.  Look for rescheduling

We are not exactly sure why it was cancelled but about a week before the June 2nd date the production company unfortunately had to cancel the show.  Rumor has it they are planning something in the coming months instead.  Sorry for the inconvenience!

Knox delivers 'Music for Pleasure'
Upon "Music for Pleasure's” release in 2005, Knox had been playing the stripped-down, folk-tinged rock card to excess. With his first release, it seems, the multi-instrumentalist’s diverse influences have presence.  By using a more Brit-pop approach to his catalogue, Knox has created a noteworthy first album.  Despite the sunny quality and catchiness of most of the songs, Knox's words set the tone of the album, and the listener soon realizes not to trust the lyrical voice, as on "Baby! Baby! Baby!" and "Rendered." The album's centerpiece, however, is "Asleep at the Wheel," featuring a dissonant guitar section that just may be the most transcendent musical moment of the record. It's surprisingly consistent mix, too. From the drum-driven first track "I Want to Take Your Money and Run" to the brooding closer "Shall I Drive?" everything here is outstanding.

Flying Lion Performance a Ball
Knox and the band assemble for a performance at the Flying Lion Cafe, Feb. 3rd 2006.  Brian Moss and Vanessa Constance both contributed selections along with the talents of Brian Oaks, Jeff Brumley and Mark Pendolino.  "It was one of the most loose live crowds in recent memory", recalls Knox.  "It was fantastic to see how many kids came out as well"  Check out the Pictures.

Sounds Like .....
Now that Knox has put a new cd it's a bit easier to pinpoint his sound.  With the feedback we have gotten so far we developed the following list: Ryan Adams, Whiskeytown, My Morning Jacket, Neil Finn, Elvis Costello, The Beatles, Jay Farrar, Paul Weller, Lyle Lovett, R.E.M., Paul Westerberg and the Stone Roses.  Why not contact us and share your view.

Sitting In With Brian Moss
Knox opened for Brian Moss at the Flying Lion with a short set of acoustic originals.  In the set list for the first time was a new number entitled 'I Don't Need Another Reason to Cry Over You'.  Former band mate David Boyd Watkins joined Knox and Moss for a classic rendition of 'I Want To Take Your Money & Run.  It was just like old times.

Rocking Over at The Rainbow
We had a super turn out over at the Rainbow.  Knox, Brian Oaks, Jeff Brumley, and newcomer Ken French (drums) played about a 50 minute set of rocking Knox originals.  'It was great to see the Playdate crowd come out and support us', said Knox.  'They really seemed to get into the show.  It was fun.'

Music For Pleasure Live in Alki
It was an incredible show! Knox and the band performed to over 250 people at the Alki Beach House in West Seattle.  Many thanks go out to all the many people who helped put the show together and make it a huge success.

Knox Rocks Jazzbones
Knox, Oaks, Ted Cooke and Carl Martin rocked Jazzbones in what was their best performance to date.  The crowd was lively and in the mood to sing-along.  We should have pictures available shortly in the gallery.

A Second Album in the Works
Things sometimes take unexpected turns and the recording process certainly seems to have. Find out about 'Songwriters Almanac'.  

The Extraordinaire - A Short Film
Knox's jumpy action packed song  "I Want to Take Your Money and Run", has been featured in the short film directed and produced by Ladon Yahzadal entitled The Extraordinaire.  It's a story about love and the pre-conceived expectations people can have about each other.  "It was all done locally here in Seattle which is nice, and I think the song was featured with the lead actor singing the intro at the top of his lungs" - Knox. 

Reviews 
Rock Paper Scissors receives Knox in good hands.

The Sylvester Road EP 
Back in 1999, Knox and his band recorded a live studio EP at the Sylvester Road Studios in Seattle.  It consists of four tracks which include It Won't be Me, Shall I Drive, Asleep at the Wheel and Hold on to Me.  After the initial session, the tapes were lost or forgotten about until April of this year when Knox found them in a mysterious box entitled 'Sylvester Road Tapes'.  They were then mixed and mastered by Knox and then released.  A limited short run of this cd was pressed and quickly sold out.  There are not plans at this point for another pressing - but stay tuned, we may feature them in Media Downloads shortly.
