How a yis!
The concept behind the new design and identity for the band was basically to just have a bit of fun. Being a big fan of comics and super heroes in general I thought it might be interesting to create an alter ego for the band, a second self as such. They have to have super hero qualities, that goes without saying of course."
Creating a bit of a spin on the Theory of the Moebius " A twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop"
Which is where we actually came up with the name for the band, I developed a story about five super heroes which are in turn our alter ego's. As I said before, just having a bit of fun. - here's the basic jist.
disgraced general of the M3 advance force, given life imprisonment for crimes against the alliance has escaped his incarceration and has found a loop hole in the Moebius allowing him to travel through different time zones , he must be stopped, he holds the key to all that is good in harmony and sound. He has chosen earth as his first conquest. Inside the Moebius a strategy is discussed between the four heads of Council to elect an elite band of sound explorers to recapture Ignato and bring balance and harmony back to our every ear.
Five are chosen each bearing special powers. Together they generate a power beyond. Their journey to earth will be quick, fraught with challenges of which they must overcome if they are to save the Moebius as we know it.
And so their journey begins.

Born to perform, brought up on the likes of Zeppelin and Deep Purple as a kid, that music is very much a part of me as a musician, loved Wacko Jacko in the 80's and the kicking Madchester scene throughout the late 80's and 90's, I love it all especially love playing live. My main influences would be Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and
The Stone Roses to name but a few.
