Join Neill and Guest Artists for their last performance at The Radium for 2016! The Uptown Rhythm Collective is a loose, project driven combination of diverse talents formed around the core axis of Neill Solomon and Dan Chiorboli, both founder members of the original Uptown Rhythm Dogs,with Greg Georgiades who replaced Tony Lizard Hunter in the band. Tony was tragically killed in a motor accident.They are arguably one of South Africa’s first and most influential world music groups of the 80’s. Most of the artists involved in this unique collaborative experience have crossed paths with either Neill, Dan or Greg at some point in their colourful musical careers. This leads into a melancholic bout of guitar plucking into which Neill’s rough, plaintive cry is fed. The instrumental introduction has its beauty in the crystal twang of the strings, the first vocal section has an edgy plea that draws you further into the song and then the bongos rattle away as the song gets into full swing. And then it suddenly stops and the spell in broken. Another definition was that Roxy was a shortening of Roxanne, which could be a possibility here, but listening to the lyrics, this also doesn’t make sense. Neill Solomon sings about his roxy lady over dramatic pianos, gently plucked and at times searing guitars. There is something a little creepy and menacing about the song. However, you still get a sense of a genuine care for his subjet matter. Haunting, ominous and yet beautiful at the same time.
