8/29/08 Music Connection Write-Up
This is the CD review from the latest issue of Music Connection.

"Digby's full-length CD features the kind of sexy, swaggering rock tunes that'll please fans of Guns N Roses, Izzy Stradlin, Black Crowes and even Humble Pie. Digby brings a verve to each tune, especially "Show Me the Way" and "Jackie" that reminds you why this sound lives on. While Digby chooses not to wail on vocals like Chris Robinson, he is a capable singer who lets his songs do the talking, which is fine since he is a nimble lyricist whose clever phrases turn on a dime."

THE MALIBU CHRONICLE, NO.58, FALL 2007
Musical Chronicle
Eleanor Rigby Alestar Digby
Alestar Digby at the one and only Knitting Factory!
By Beth Maire


My friend Sarah, gave me a CD for my birthday of Alestar Digby.
(The only constant is change)

A week later I picked up a card mentioning Alestar playing a date at the Knitting factory in Hollywood the next week. It felt like it was in the flow. So I called Joe Sutton at the Factory and made plans to attend.
The drive from Malibu on the full moon night was smooth sailing and I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to find the Knitting Factory and turn into the underground parking leaving me only steps from the escalation. As I was coming in Sarah and Alestar met me at the door and off we went for a wonderful night of musical entertainment.
The first song, Vegas Queen, that opened Alestar's show, is very Jim Morrison.
The band is extremely tight and, Alestar, himself, is a star. He is kind of like Elvis, Elton John, Doors and Beatles all rolled into one with his own kind of Robbie William's chutzpa. He is incredibly sweet and poignant on the guitar. He rocks and his body moves and facial expressions are real crowd pleasers.
"Pledge Allegiance to Love" is an awesome anthem for our now manifesting Golden Age. I can see this song being sung in stadiums around the world. "Friends and Lovers" is a song in the same vein. Conscious lyrics with great music.
"Listen Girl" is a bit like a Red Hot Chili Peppers number and is a cool song.
"Sometimes you have to change who you were to become who you will be not forgetting who you are."
Alestar Digby was a child prodigy on piano at age six and on the drums by age 10, classically trained as well as experience in soul, blues and funk. Originally form New Jersey, Alestar attended the Manhattan School of Music on a talent-based scholarship, where he studied classical piano composition. He left classical music behind and began creating his distinctive style of rock and roll the day he plugged in his first electric guitar.
Prior to Los Angeles, Alestar was the object of a sizable fan base within the live music scene of Austin, Texas, where his band Gentleman Jake and the Beat Elite achieved significant media recognition and radio play. Alestar's latest CD is wonderful. From the sexy "Jackie" to the rockin "Your Best", Doorsy "I Like a Woman" and one of Alestar's favorite to play, "Changing Sights", this CD is pure musical entertainment, feels good and rocks your soul.
