Jim Kerr
Lostboy! AKA Jim Kerr (from Simple Minds fame) says on his first solo project, "Somehow I had tuned into the boy that I used to be, the passionate kid that I had left behind, and mysterious as that all was, there was no denying how thrilled I was to be reconnecting with the energetic outlook and liberating values at the core of that distantly familiar character.
"Rapidly I then began considering what kind of songs could be created if I could immerse myself "now" in engaging fully with that young ghost. Lostboy AKA! is the result of that curiosity, and I am exhilarated by it. No mere dance with the past - thanks to the vision of co - writer and producer Jez Coad - much of these songs feel to me that they could be signals from tomorrow.
"It’s only a first step, but I can easily imagine taking this new relationship much further in parallel with the continuing great story of Simple Minds."
