Based around the songwriting and recording team of Jon Price and Karen Bradford, Maya29 regularly performs live as a 4 piece band, with the addition of drummer Mark Mather and guitarist Nicholas Paul. This line up of the band has been together for 3 years, and Maya29 has gigged extensively in Scotland & England.
At the end of 2005 we completed our most recent recording, thisisnotforyou, which features three tracks:
House of Leaves (7:25)
Tonali (4:28)
The Journey of Gods (5:08)
We all hail from far flung regions of the UK, and Edinburgh has become our adopted home. We're always keen to organise gig swaps with other bands, so if this is something you also do, give us a shout and a stage and we will do the same for you.
A track from thisisnotforyou appears on the coverdisc of the March/April 2006 issue of Zero Tolerance magazine, which also features a review:

Maya29 - thisisnotforyou
(demo)
Maya29 are a two-piece act whose three track demo is a remarkable slice of assured prog metal. Taking in elements of Tool, they manage nevertheless to craft their own sound thanks primarily to Karen Bradford's vocals.
The songs featured here are as impressive as the erotic novel
from which they've swiped their name, and if it wasn't for the fact that
it's the lowest common denominator that sells in this country, I'd predict
big things for them.
