John Paul Jones launching new album
Martin Kielty Classic Rock Magazine at 12:12pm January 15 2014
John Paul Jones is poised to release the first album by his project Minibus Pimps – an experimental collaboration with electronic musician Helge Sten, who’s known for his work under the titles Deathprod and Supersilent.
The Led Zeppelin bassist aims to “connect the dots between the progressive rock of the 1970s and the exciting developments in Norway’s music scene since the late 1990s.”
Named after a track they found on a Chinese experimental compilation album, Minibus Pimps started as a live act in 2011. The album Cloud To Ground features seven tracks recorded in different venues in England, Norway and Denmark.
The project is based around a custom computer system including “electronics, samplers, processors, instruments and iPads,” Sten reports, adding: “The music contains composed and improvisations elements on an equal scale.”
Cloud To Ground is released on March 4 via SusannaSonata.
It’s Jones’ first release since forming Them Crooked Vultures with Dave Grohl and Josh Homme in 2009. In 2012 Foo Fighters mainman Grohl vowed the supergroup would make another album, saying: “I know that someday we’ll do stuff, because we love playing with each other.”
The first three Led Zeppelin albums are expected to be re-released this year with additional material, following guitarist Jimmy Page’s restoration work.

45 Years Ago: Led Zeppelin’s Most Mysterious Concert Takes Place – Or Does It?
by Matthew Wilkening January 20, 2014 3:41 AM ultimateclassicrock.com
On Jan. 20, 1969, Led Zeppelin performed a show for less than 60 people at the youth center in Wheaton, Md., a town with a population under 50,000 near Washington, D.C. Or, maybe and more likely… they didn’t.
You see, despite the fact that a hardcore group of “attendees” or believers have stuck to this story for over four decades now, Led Zeppelin’s official site lists the show only as an “unconfirmed rumour,” and notes that the band’s road manager, Richard Cole, has no memory of it either. Further, nobody has ever been able to produce a photograph, contract, ticket stub, gig poster or any other physical evidence to prove that the band did in fact perform there.
Still, the local legend has endured, and inspired filmmaker Jeff Krulik — co-creator of the immortal ‘Heavy Metal Parking Lot‘ — to film the investigative documentary ‘Led Zeppelin Played Here,’ which has been playing in unfinished form at various film festivals and venues recently.
Back in 2009 Krulik invited everyone who said they had been at the 1969 Zeppelin show to a reunion. Funnily enough, according to a Washington Post report, twice as many people showed up for this event as had supposedly attended the original concert. Of those, only about a half-dozen claimed to have seen the show, and the only evidence presented was a pair of battered sneakers apparently worn that mythical night.
Still, the true believers were undaunted by the lack of evidence. “They were definitely here,” declares alleged attendee Anne Marie Pemberton. “(Jimmy) Page was over here. John Paul Jones was over there. (Robert) Plant the showman was right here. And right behind was John Bonham with his hellacious drum set.”
