THE MAGICK BROTHERS
Trio of Electro/acoustic psychedelic troubadours , named after Daevid Allen's first album with Gong 'Magick Brothers'[1969] The band first toured in the early 1990's when they produced their cd 'Live at The Wychwood' on Voiceprint. The trio serve to present a side of the multi-musical persona-d Daevid Allen which is more acoustically and spiritually based , with themes of renewal and self initiation to the fore.
THE MAGICK BROTHERS are....
DAEVID ALLEN-Acoustic/Glissando Guitar and vocals .
Co- founder of both Soft Machine and Gong , Daevid has been a performer, visual artist and communicator for 50 years. Never resting on past laurels his unique musical-mystical vision
[which is'' much too serious to be serious about''] has over the years acted as a catalyst for a long list of wildly eclectic, highly accomplished, musicians.Little else remains to be said except that in this
band he can be who he really is . He is in his true element.
