GARY KEMP today releases a remix of WAITING FOR THE BAND, a track from his album INSOLO. The song, which partly takes its inspiration from Gary attending two pivotal David Bowie shows in 1973, has been remixed by Steven Wilson and features Mike Garson on piano. Garson was one of the musicians who played with Bowie the final Ziggy Stardust show at Hammersmith Odeon, one of the shows that Gary attended.

Gary Kemp “I’m a huge fan of Steven Wilson’s work and played a lot of the early mixes of INSOLO to him, so it was a great thrill to have him do this extended remix of Waiting for the Band. The song deals with being a fan of music in the 70s and I always saw the middle section as me walking into the Hammersmith Odeon for the Bowie show in 1973. So, to have the great Mike Garson come and sprinkle his piano stardust onto this mix was an amazing connection with my past, given that he played piano that night for David.”
