In a rare break from his day job as the bass player with Status Quo, John 'Rhino’ Edwards continues a run of UK dates as Rhino’s Revenge hit London's iconic 100 Club tonight and promises a night of “straight ahead good time noisy Rock and Roll performed by an ace band”. The band now includes FM’s lead guitarist Jim Kirkpatrick and Uriah Heep's drummer Russell Gilbrook, who join regulars Rhino and Matthew Starritt to complete a stellar line up. In support of the shows, Rhino’s Revenge is releasing a heavyweight double A-side single featuring a new edit of 'Take ‘em Down' (Vid Of The Day - about a town called Kobanî) and 'Famous', ‘about people who want something for nothing’. Both songs are taken from the band’s second album, Rhino’s Revenge II, which has now been released as an extremely limited edition vinyl pressing of just 300 copies, each autographed and sequentially numbered by Rhino. This is a quintessentially English album and there’s something indefinable but very special about Rhino’s Revenge II that makes it irresistible. Rhino Edwards, a confessed musicoholic, has created a truly honest album which kicks like a mule; a rare commodity in today’s world.
