Spent a wonderful two days recently in the company of music legend PJ Powers, taking her around to various Cape Town radio stations for interviews.
She is promoting her brand new album, “Destiny“, which is written from the heart and is a very vulnerable album.
The radio stations were so enthusiastic to see her and to experience their obvious love for her, her music and her story was just amazing.
The Golden Horus Name project was the return of Cosmic Trip Machine on stage then, from May 2012, in studio, with a new line-up: Will Z (vocals, keyboards), Majnun (guitar), oG (bass) and Sammy.
The album tells two different stories melted: the celestial cow Egyptian myth in broad outline and the story of Barrington, a cursed rock star, a Great Pharaoh reincarnation, who lived in the Swinging London and fell into a deep depression. The character is directly inspired by the life of the musician Ramases who recorded during the 60’s and the 70’s some singles and two beautiful albums.
Golden Horus Name is a return to heaviest roots of the band, with progressive structures. The release (digital and LP) is planned for 13 September 2013.
FORMAT
LP: Nasoni Records
Digital: itunes, spotify, amazon and many others…
