10cc: 50 Years On, Still Packing a Punch
5 Mar
Summary
- Original member Graham Gouldman leads the current 10cc lineup.
- The band's innovative 70s pop blended genres with surreal lyrics.
- Highlights include "Donna" barbershop-style and "I'm Not in Love."
The iconic 1970s band 10cc, known for its innovative pop blending glam rock, art rock, and doo-wop with surreal lyrics, is currently on tour celebrating its enduring hits. The band, which fractured 50 years ago with the departure of Kevin Godley and Lol Creme in 1976, now features only original bassist and singer Graham Gouldman, 79, from the initial quartet.
Accompanied by 70s-era live guitarist Rick Fenn and energetic young drummer Ben Stone, the current incarnation delivers a compelling tribute. Singer Iain Hornal effectively captures co-founder Eric Stewart's falsetto and the band's signature humor, remarking on how songs like "Old Wild Men" were written when touring in one's 60s and 70s seemed unimaginable.
