I note that the guitarist himself has not denied this. Instead the drummer has tried to discredit me when he knows nothing about me or my excellent music biz contacts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-32843247742363885382014-04-03T00:50:45.502-07:002014-04-03T00:50:45.502-07:00Andy, FYI, we know who 'anonymous' is, thi...Andy, FYI, we know who 'anonymous' is, this isn't the first time he's done this sort of thing and we know why he perpetuates his infantile vendetta.

While opinions are always welcome in regards to the quality of a band and/or their music(and feel free to be anonymous or not as it really makes no difference to me in the end)I do feel as if this is not the place to discuss personal matters/rumors. Please try to keep comments relevant to to the matter at hand. If you have comments/issues/concerns or whatever for particular individuals there are much better ways to address them then in a setting such as this. From the sounds of it certain individuals may in fact live (distance-wise) much closer then I do and have seen this band live. As such why not bring your feelings directly to the source? Anonymous you said that"I am concerned that, after many years, the management of Derecho want to keep a tight hold on the singer and still only play local pubs. They don't want her to branch out alone because she is the only one with songwriting ability. It is a shame and a waste.". I would guess that Jo Ash (as an adult and everything) can make up her own mind about where she wants to be, but again (if you are concerned) why not go to the source? Otherwise in this setting it ends up as a he says/she says situation where it all sounds like schoolyard bickering really.

The reason anybody would wish to remain anonymous when reviewing this band is that they cannot take any kind of criticism, and react with a nasty fury if anyone dares to speak their mind. I stand by my comment that the singer would do better solo, as she is writing all the songs and is being held back by the band and management.

As far as the band goes though I stand by my review. Derecho are a solid rock band that brings many different elements to the table. As far as vocalist Jo Ash goes I feel that the band compliments her style and vice versa. And in regards to Marc Zyngler's comment I agree. It's one thing making such comments, but at least have the back-bone to stand by it and post it with your real name!!
