Rich Hope delivers ‘Live At The ANZA Club’, a raw and electrifying testament to the power of a band at full throttle, recorded over two sold out nights in Vancouver. The album features Hope and his powerhouse band, including Leon Power and Erik Nielsen of City and Colour, with production handled by Nielsen and Howard Redekopp. Hope explains, “I have always been at my best live, and we wanted to capture what this version of the band is doing.” The set spans his career, culminating in a searing take on The Long Ryders’ “Looking For Lewis And Clark.”
For two nights this past April, Rich Hope ruled Vancouver. Setting up shop at the ANZA Club on W 8th Ave, he and his band blazed through their original repertoire of blues-rock and Americana, with the highlights now preserved on what’s increasingly becoming an endangered species: the live album.
However, making Live At The ANZA Club — officially out Nov. 21 via Planned Obsolescene — only seemed natural for Rich Hope, considering he plays with some of Canada’s best musicians, including City & Colour’s rhythm section, Leon Power and Erik Nielsen (who also oversaw the recording along with the legendary Howard Redekopp). The other band members are Vancouver scene mainstays Scott Smith on electric and pedal steel guitars, and Darryl Havers on keyboards.
After announcing Live At The ANZA Club with the stomping first single “It Come Alive,” Hope recently offered another preview in the form of his scorching rendition of The Long Ryders’ 1984 classic “Looking For Lewis & Clark,” available on all digital platforms.
Rich explains, “‘Lewis & Clark’ found its way into the set list sometime after 2010. All of us in the band are big fans of the ’80s cowpunk scene, so this song is a natural banger to play. It didn’t matter who we played it for, or whether they knew the song or not, everybody loved it. And it’s fun to play a cover at the end of the night, especially one that gives us as much of a charge as it does for the audience.”
