Shivas
Where Have You Gone To?
Authentic '60s Psychedelic Rock since a few years celebrates a strong international revival, and brings up lots of young but only a few talented bands - THE SHIVAS - are both! Basically you hear on this album influences of Velvet Underground, Doors, Seeds or 13th Floor Elevators. These four teenagers present a very remarkable debut album feat. 13 original songs of 69 min. running time -long-but truly a varietive album with interesting surprises to take you on a colourful journey (contains 8p. col. booklet)! Bandleader Jared Wait-Molyneux presents his ideas of fresh "alive" Sound combined with a (poetical, mystic or political) message through his characteristic vocals, skilful and emotional guitar playing; but also using "exotic" instruments such as Sitar, Piano, Organ, Harmonica and Mandolin to give it a kind of Beatles "Sgt. Pepper" feeling. The song "Love" can be heard on Trip In Time Vol.2 / Psychedelic Rock Reflections and was released in Germany. (For World In Sound insiders: "Seems..history is repeating!" Not just the name, artwork and musicians-age remind of the ultra-legendary 60s heavy-psych group MYSTIC SIVA - the Shivas seem to be the closest musical reincarnation too!) - 40 years later - TODAY - is the time to watch out for the new "psychedelic-rock" generation, the Shivas are ready to blow your minds!
