The psychedelic prog-rock legends GONG return to Rind with their new album "Unending Ascending"!
Every Gong show is a ritual involving both the band and the audience. Over the course of an intense and ecstatic two hours, Gong hypnotizes with pulsating riffs, soaring vocal harmonies, and angular, pointillistic arrangements. They move between overwhelming sonic peaks and blissful dreamlike passages, illuminated by an unforgettable kaleidoscopic light show by Fruit Salad Lights. Gong draws from their current catalog but also delves into the classic era, transforming each evening into an unforgettable experience. No one remains untouched.
BIO
The universe of Gong began in 1969 when Daevid Allen was inspired by a profound psychedelic vision. As a founding member of Soft Machine, Allen infused his spiritual and metaphysical inclinations into an evolving collective. More of a mythology than a band in the conventional sense, Gong established itself as one of the most unique, innovative, and experimental rock groups of the seventies through an exploratory blend of rock, jazz, and psychedelia with elements of mysticism and surrealism, unafraid to convey their messages directly, obliquely, or whimsically. The current lineup, assembled by Daevid before his farewell album with Gong, "I See You," honors his intention that Gong does not die with him, urging the band to "lead them to new unknown heights and depths that far exceed what I could ever imagine."
The collective of Kavus Torabi, Dave Sturt, Fabio Golfetti, Ian East, and Cheb Nettles is the most stable in Gong's illustrious history, having written, recorded, and toured together for eight years since Allen's passing. As a dynamic, powerful, and explosive live band, their music draws from the creed of the original Gong while striving to advance the composition, performances, and message into new realms without worrying about nostalgia. Gong in 2023 continues the ethics, attitude, and lifestyle that have always been woven into the fabric of the band.
