Azimus

Band from Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. (the following is taken from the band website, see link below) A powerful yet subtle musical quartet with: Alistair Strating on piano, French horn & vocals Jean-Charles Crave on guitars Steve dAvis on percussion & vocals Simon Deeth on electric bass Azimus has been influenced by the likes of Steely Dan, Brian Eno, Soft Machine, Television and even Claude Debussy! They have combined piano transcendence with traditional songwriting to create what is bound to become music standards. The band has been taking time out recently to reinvent themselves, but are now back in the limelight. Azimus offers an uncompromising poignancy to a music that is movingly about love, happiness, and the joys of just being, playing just for fun. Although sometimes understated, Steve Davis's voice and lyrics will be cherished for years to come. There is plenty of sex in modern music, but precious little sensuality. Azimus has tried to remedy that shortage with a cocktail of beautiful melodies and soulful harmonies. The secret of their album "Proof of Concept" lies in their multicultural approach to writing music, combined with great poetry.
