Wendy James - Cancelled

“Wendy James’ new album ‘The Price Of The Ticket’ is brave and tender, artful and wild, where courage and the dream of love give promise. A wild, moving, shocking, hilarious, raging, exhilarating, giant of an album. A dazzling performance that listeners will delight in, it is intelligent, witty, irresistibly relentless and forthright”.

- preview review from Village Voice, USA

Wendy James new solo LP ’The Price Of The Ticket’ was recorded in NYC and mixed in Berkeley CA. The players on this album are a bona-fide line-up from all-time Punk and New Wave bands. Wendy James on vocals, rhythm guitars and keys is joined by Lenny Kaye (The Patti Smith Group) (Lead & Rhythm Guitar), Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols) (Bass), James Sclavunos (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) (Drums), James Williamson (Iggy & The Stooges (Lead & Rtythm Guitar, Bass Guitar) and Steve Mackay (Iggy & The Stooges) (Baritone Sax).

It’s testament to the strength of “The Price Of The Ticket” that it has attracted such a stellar list of players. The album has a distinct and unique thread running through a collection of quirky songs infused with melody and hooks. All songs are written and produced by Wendy James, tracks 12 and 13 are cover versions of songs written Fred ‘Sonic’ Smith (MC5/Sonic’s Rendezvous Band) and Bob Dylan respectively.

The album is available for pre-order now via Pledge Music https://wendyjames.pmstores.co/

Wendy James has evolved in music legacy to where her first band Transvision Vamp is an iconic and collectable favorite and her new music is constantly a push for ever more current attitude and talent, followed and bought by proceeding generations of Alt-Rock n Roll fans the world over. Cited by Miley Cyrus as her original pin-up and at the same time being on par with Patti Smith as an uncompromising artist, songwriter and musician. Originally from London, now resident of NYC, she has achieved what few can or have: longevity and a forward motion trajectory in New Wave Garage Rock.
