Emperors Of Medieval Japan

Lisa Ronson, daughter of Bowie's legendary guitarist Mick Ronson, is to release her debut solo album 'Emperors of Medieval Japan'. Emperors of Medieval Japan features special guest appearances from an inspirational line up of prestigious rock musicians; Reeves Gabrels (The Cure, David Bowie), Earl Slick (John Lennon and Yoko Ono, David Bowie) and Morgan Fisher (Mott The Hoople, Queen) joining guitarist programmer Paul Cuddeford (Ian Hunter, Bob Geldof) and saxophone player Terry Edwards (PJ Harvey, Gallon Drunk, Yoko Ono). Ronson s rare sound is a dynamic convergence of synth pop and alternative rock with dystopian and existentialist lyrics. Pioneered by Ronson, this contemporary musical style is referred to by her fans as Post Synthetic, an emerging musical movement in London. Fresh back from the recent Holy Holy tour where she performed guest vocals as part of the Bowie associated super group with her father s fellow Spiders From Mars band mate Woody Woodmansey and producer Tony Visconti, Lisa is no stranger to the stage and recording process. Her own former group The Secret History, a New York based indie art/ pop group, gained success and achieved widespread critical acclaim throughout the US and garnered a cult following in the UK. It s no surprise Lisa was destined for a musical career, her father (who died in 1993) was cited by Rolling Stone as one of the top 50 greatest guitarists of all time. Mick Ronson was best known for his work with David Bowie and Lou Reed. Along with sessions and tours for Morrissey, Ian Hunter and Bob Dylan. Lisa s mother, Suzi Ronson, was David Bowie s hairdresser and wardrobe manager in 1972/73. Lisa was born and brought up in the US, living in Woodstock, New York, and later in New York City itself. She relocated to London in 2012. CD Format.
