John McKay

John McKay's original claim to fame was as the guitarist for Siouxsie and The Banshees, departing the band hours before a tour was to begin in 1979 over an argument with Siouxsie.  He bounced around sporadically playing in other projects, his guitar playing being influential to folks like Jim Reid of Jesus and Mary Chain, Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, and The Edge from U2, but we never got a full collection of music from him.  Until now.  Upcoming new album collects for the first time a bunch of tracks recorded shortly after McKay's departure from Siouxsie and the Banshees.  Few people have ever heard this stuff before, so we are in for a treat.  Check out "Flare" below and pre-order the "Sixes and Sevens" LP here from Tiny Global Productions.
