Derek Smalls, l'ancien bassiste du groupe de heavy metal connu sous le nom de SPINAL TAP, revient avec son premier album solo, "Smalls Change (Meditations Upon Ageing)", sortie le 13 avril via Twanky Records / BMG sur numérique, CD et vinyle.
Le clip officiel du nouveau single du disque, "
It Do not Get Old", ci-dessous.
Smalls lance sa tournée américaine le 14 avril avec l'Orchestre Philharmonique de Louisiane au Saenger Theatre, New Orleans.
Smalls, lorsqu'on lui demande comment il a réussi à rassembler tant de rockers de classe mondiale pour rejoindre le projet, la réponse laconique de Derek est "Pity fuck".
