Spirit of John Morgan

"Keyboard player and vocalist John Morgan was a Graham Bond afficianado who turned toward psychedelia as the 1960's wore on. Billed originally as The Spirit of John Morgan, the band was successful enough to get booked into the Marquee and other top clubs, and cut three albums. Their self-titled debut into 1969 was followed by two more LPs in 1970 and 1972 (credited simply to John Morgan) for the Carnaby label. He also cut a single for British RCA in the early 1970's. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide" ~ Answers.Com

Stinking Lizaveta

"written in 2006--- After four album releases and 10 years of touring around the country blitzing audiences with their famously dynamic live shows, Philadelphia’s instrumental power trio Stinking Lizaveta (named for a Dostoevsky character) has become an institution of sorts in the US underground music scene. Their eclectic style of music incorporates post-rock, metal, sludge, prog, stoner and doom with jazz stylings and eastern influences. RockDetector's book, 'History of Stoner, Goth, and Doom', categorizes their music as 'doom-jazz', a label that the band have taken to citing when asked to describe their music.

Gunslinger - Earthquake In E Minor

" It was back in 1979 that Alan Davey and Nigel Potter began to structure the sonic wall that would soon become Gunslinger. Their obession with power and flat out rock and roll was begining to take shape. During the early formative years, name change followed name change, but it was when they called their latest incarnation CHAINSAW that the story really begins... It was here that songs like Warhorse, Gunslinger, Night Song and many others came into being. The sound that was to become Gunslinger was born. With influnces from Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Motorhead, Hawkwind and many others, the full on assault was in full flow,' 79 was a great year for power, and the rest is history.....until now!!!

Quantum Fantay

"Once upon a time in a small city called Lokeren ; two crazy friends (Pieter Van den Broeck (Pete Mush) and Wouter De Geest (Jaro)) were once again uniting their musical creativity to end up with a result of Liquid Space Rock(people been in the music business for ages still wonder what that is).The band ’Ozric Tentacles’ is a perfect example.It’s also a big influence for Pete and Jaro.The music makes you higher than high without using any drugs.And with some nice light and laser shows,(which they do very often),a Quantum gig is a show to remember a lifetime...To make the band live breathable and even more interesting the two neighbours attracted back in 2002 drummer Gino Verhaegen,guitarplayer Dario Frodo and flute-player Karel Slabbaert (Charles Sla).Quantum Fantay, a name that came out of a typing error in fantasy was on it’s way to hit the scene..
