Pathfinders to Mars (ABC, 1960 - 1961)
"You know, Henderson, the progress of true science depends not only on the cold, calculating types, but also on the adventurers and dreamers. There's a place for all of us under the sun."
"Yes... as long as we don't get too close to it."

Heavens Edge - Get It Right
Release date: 12 May 2023

The long-awaited new studio album, "Get It Right" from Philadelphia hard rockers Heavens Edge is out now. This is their first official release since 1998, when the demos and other rarities, considered the band’s second album, "Some Other Place, Some Other Time" was put out.
Formed in Philadelphia, PA in 1987, Heavens Edge immediately began performing on the local club circuit and surrounding areas. Gigging at well-known venues in the rock and metal scene in Philly such as The Empire Rock Club, The Galaxy, and The Trocadero, with nearby prestigious venues Hammerjacks (Baltimore, MD) and the 9:30 Club (Washington, D.C.) becoming regular stops for the group.
The band began smashing attendance records and rapidly gaining the attention of local press and radio. The European press started to take note as well.
While the 80’s metal scene was in full swing, the greater Philadelphia, PA/New Jersey region had already produced mega-acts such as Bon Jovi, Cinderella, Skid Row, and Britny Fox and labels were on the hunt for exactly what Heavens Edge was delivering.
In a flurry of label activity from all the major players in the rock world, Heavens Edge secured a recording agreement with Columbia Records. Unfortunately, soon after the band was signed, a crazed gunman entered a club the band was playing in and randomly opened fire, striking bass player George G.G. Guidotti. G.G. was hospitalized and required months of rehabilitation to get back into playing shape.
The band called it quits in 1993, whilst each of the members pursued various music ventures. However, none of these ventures achieved the same level of success as Heavens Edge.
Though not formally together, the band signed a deal in 1998 to released demos and other rarities considered the band’s second album "Some Other Place, Some Other Time". Thier official reunion show was in 2013 with the original line up at Firefest in Nottingham. The event proved so successful that the guys continued the live show momentum with performances on The Monsters Of Rock Cruise, the Melodic Rock Festival in Chicago, and main-stage sets at M3 in the Baltimore, MD area.
Now that the band was in-tact and the audiences were turning up, it was again time for the band to draw the attention of record companies. In 2022, Heavens Edge signed a new global recording deal and have just released their first studio album in twenty-five years, "Get It Right".

George G.G. Guidotti an Lungenkrebs verstorben
Nur gerade 57 Jahre alt wurde George G.G. Guidotti. Letzten Sonntag 18. August 2019 ist der Bassist der 80er Rock Band Heaven’s Edge an Lungekrebs verstorben. Heaven’s Edge wurden 1987 in Philadelphia gegründet und hat es zwar nur auf zwei Alben gebracht aber mit Skin To Skin war da doch eine ganz gute Nummer mit dabei, die mich damals zu Kauf des Debüt Albums verlockte. George bekam die Diagnose als der Krebs schon ziemlich weit fortgeschritten war mit der Aussicht, dass er nicht mehr heilbar ist. George wollte jedoch dagegen ankämpfen und gründete noch vor vier Monaten eine Crowdfunding Kampagne um die hohen Kosten zu decken. Seinen Willen zum Überleben kommt nicht von ungefähr. Der Bursche hat echt einiges mitgemacht. So wurde er von einem Blitz getroffen hat überlebt, wurde von einem Auto angefahren und hat überlebt, wurde aus nächster Nähe von einer Schrottflinte angeschossen und hat überlebt. Gerade noch vor zwei Jahren musste er sich zudem auch noch einer Hirnoperation unterziehen, ebenfalls aufgrund einer Krankheit. Nun vier Monate nach Start der Kampagne hat er seinen Kampf gegen dieses kleine Mistvieh namens Krebs verloren. Rock in Frieden George

Pathfinders to Venus (ABC, 1961)
"What a paradise this place is. The way Earth must have been before man spoiled it with sprawling towns and filthy machines."
"If it hadn't been for man's filthy machines we wouldn't be here."
"That's true. And the pity of it is that after us will come rocket after rocket to ravage this planet. They'll gouge the minerals out of the earth, destroy the forests and eventually they'll go to war over it."
#pathfinders to venus#1961#children's television#classic tv#abc#malcolm hulke#eric paice#guy verney#reginald collin#gerald flood#george coulouris#graydon gould#pamela barney#hester cameron#stewart guidotti#brigid skemp#hugh evans#bob bryan#astor sklair#robert james#third and final sequel to the sadly missing Target Luna serial; this one picks up immediately after the previous story‚ Pathfinders to Mars#and sees our heroic group once again strongarmed into space exploration by the trickery of George Coulouris (bf's hatred for the character#reached new strengths during this series). this serial delves further into the sci fi fantasy vibe: where Space saw some remnants of#interstellar travel discovered and Mars had some plants and stuff‚ this one has full on alien contact with the native Venusians (handily#very much humanoid). this one also allows the real world to intrude more simultaneously tho; the Cold War‚ having hummed along happily very#much in the background so far‚ gets faced head on here as US and Soviet interests finally start to complicate the plans of our plucky (and#somehow‚ so far‚ entirely apolitical) British explorers. good old Mac Hulke gets a couple of very strong and very prescient environmental#messages in too‚ prefiguring his work on Doctor Who in the 70s (and right you were Mac‚ tho did you have to give those lines to the maniac#character who keeps almost getting everybody killed because of his blind insistence on seeking out some great Spacey Truth..)#these serials have been a lot of fun and I'd highly recommend them to any fan of old tv or old sci fi or DW or the like
