Palmer was born in England’s West Midlands in 1950 placing him among the youngest members of his generation of art-rock musicians. He was at best an indifferent student within the context of formal education a frequent truant who preferred practice his drums and he was serious enough to take — and his parents sufficiently supportive to pay for — lessons with a proper teacher in London. He reached his teens just as the Liverpool sound started sweeping the country; he was a fan of the Beatles but already Palmer had musical idols far removed from anything that had come out of the Cavern Club and other Merseyside venues — Buddy Rich whom he came to know personally brazenly showing up at his hotel on one occasion when the American legend was on tour in England; Philly Joe Jones Art Blakey Gene Krupa and other figures out of jazz and the big-band swing era. Palmer also managed to intersect with the Merseybeat sound on at least one occasion that year playing a session for a single with the black Liverpool singing group the Chants. At that point in his life and career Palmer could easily have gone the route of such players as Jimmy Page or fellow drummer Clem Cattini into work as a session musician which was both lucrative and steady — possibly even more so than lead guitarists session drummers were essential to most producers’ work when it came to recording new or relatively untried groups (especially on their singles) during this period and Palmer could easily have put himself into that talent pipeline alongside the likes of Cattini Bobby Graham John Bonham et al. In an interview with Alan Robinson for the notes for the double CD Anthology (2001) however Palmer recalled that his father saw more ahead of him in music than simply playing on sessions for other musicians even for top fees and urged him to resist that temptation and avoid that career choice… And when the group toured and Palmer showed that he could also do this on stage he was suddenly a major lure for their concerts. He also demonstrated precisely how formidible he could be on the creative side when it came to recording what became their second album Tarkus. The title track grew out of a piece of music that Palmer devised around an incredibly complex time signature and Emerson elaborated into a side-length conceptual piece that became a major part of their concert repertory. He only had a couple of rivals during this period Michael Giles of the same first incarnation of King Crimson whence Lake had come and Bill Bruford of Yes and a slightly later version of King Crimson and Palmer was more extrovert as a musician than either of them and enjoyed by far the biggest public reputation — it wasn’t unusual for his fans to compare him with his longtime idol Buddy Rich with whose band he sometimes played. Following a string of ever-more ambitious (some would say pretentious) albums culminating with Works which gave Palmer the chance to write and produce the music on a whole side of an LP the group split up principally due to the changing musical aspirations of its members who wanted to express themselves independently of each other and amid a precipitous decline in their popularity as the 1970′s drew to a close.

Canadian Business – Sep 24, 2007
” At first glance that’s exactly how it comes across. With its tall ceilings dark wooden bar and the white sculpture resembling an oak tree hanging over it this classy lounge is a warm welcoming place. Jazz music wafts through the air but it’s hard to hear over the conversational buzz. Sheer ivory curtains hang just behind the bar to separate it from the steakhouse restaurant side. The room is packed with everyone from lawyers and oil and gas consultants to finance and media types. Shingo Miyachi the head bartender says 70% of his customers are foreigners. They come for more than the atmosphere according to friends of Maria’s.

BattlesWhere: San Francisco Bath House WellingtonWhen: Saturday September 22Battles is the name of an American “Math-rock” band (a newish descriptor for modern progressive-rock music or post-rock as it used to be called). And they are my favourite band of 2007. As a music reviewer I do not get to say that (and mean it) nearly as often as I would like to. But hearing Mirrored the band’s debut album (on the back of a couple of superb instrumental EPs) I was genuinely floored. John Stainer (ex-Helmet) sits front and centre behind a drum kit with a lone cymbal stretched high on a straight stand toward the ceiling. Around him and his kit leap and pop Dave Konopka (ex-Lynx) Ian Williams (ex-Don Caballero) and Tyondai Braxton (the son of avant- garde jazz musician Anthony Braxton)… Around him and his kit leap and pop Dave Konopka (ex-Lynx) Ian Williams (ex-Don Caballero) and Tyondai Braxton (the son of avant- garde jazz musician Anthony Braxton). Konopka Williams and Braxton coax their sounds from guitars keyboards bass and computers – bopping about in time with the thrum of the band’s exciting sound. Essentially Battles is a band that has made progressive-rock cool; they have turbo-charged Kraftwerk and sold the sound to a generation raised on the post-rock and jazz experimentation of bands like Tortoise. Stainer’s powerhouse drumming is machine-like in its consistency and sets the pulse for many of the tunes. Braxton’s filtered wordless vocals (twiddled knobs shift the pitch of his voice in a possible approximation of the chatter between small woodland creatures) provide strange hooks – the audience cannot hang on them alone. But thanks to the stirring bass grooves the layers of keyboard and guitar sounds and the visual exuberance of the four band members literally creating their own world on stage to live inside of Battles manages to make what could easily in the wrong hands be construed as musical masturbation into a lively danceable accessible sound. The single Atlas easily the most pogo fun you can have nodding along to nonsense is a huge mid-set highlight.
