| Events User Info... | HOUSE OF BLUES CONCERTS CANADA presents ROBERT PLANT AND THE STRANGE SENSATION With special guests FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23RD SAVE ON FOODS MEMORIAL CENTRE VICTORIA, BC DOORS 6:30 pm SHOW 7:30 pm **RESERVED SEATING** Rare is the veteran rock musician who doesn't have to rely on his back catalogue to fill concert halls. But, with his new album Mighty ReArranger, Robert Plant's rich legacy as the voice of the most revolutionary, if not the biggest, rock band in the world, is merely a footnote. Indeed, the former Led Zeppelin howler and his new band Strange Sensation were such a hit at this year's South by Southwest music conference in Austin, it has been noted that rockers a quarter of Plant's age simply got on a plane and left without playing a note. With good reason; one listen to Mighty ReArranger reveals Plant, at 56, is just now hitting his stride. Drawing out the best qualities of his extraordinary voice by surrounding it with rich Middle Eastern textures, blues accents, psychedelic atmospheres and dazzling polyrhythmic swirls, the disc is a testament to Plant's musical curiosity, and sets a criminally high standard for other rockers in his position. It's a higher energy, sharper and more focused record than his previous release, 2002's Dreamland, and is so densely layered that the disc unfolds differently with each listen. Plant's fans have come to expect mature, challenging work from this master of song, and Mighty ReArranger delivers all that and more-including a radio-friendly title track. So forget for a moment that, as one fourth of Led Zeppelin, Plant sold millions upon millions of records, changed the face of popular music forever, created a whole new musical language and established a world-wide fanbase as large and devoted as that of any other rock band. Listen to Mighty ReArranger and hear an artist that has never lost his passion for music, and who has moved comfortably into the middle stage of his career while maintaining the quality and integrity that made him a superstar in the first place.
