Profile Information

I am the following; a: Fan of Music

Style of Prog: Progressive Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Symphonic Rock, Progressive Metal, Crossover Prog, Progressive Jazz/Fusion, Also a fan of other genres of music

Biography: BunChakeze biography
UK outfit BUNCHAKEZE is among the bands that can trace their history back to another time and age. In this case the time machine takes us back to London in the early 80's, and a young, promising band called Odin of London. They had good material and dedication to their art, but as live opportunities dried up Odin disbanded. A band without venues where they can perform their material to an audience is a tad disheartening after all.

Colin Tench (guitars, synthesisers, vocals), Gary Derrick (bass, pedals) and Cliff Deighton (drums) decided to form a new band, Bun Chakeze. They met a guy who was going to rebuild his studio and he offered them studio time in return for a lot of help with building work. A great opportunity for them. All 3 of them worked very hard for many weeks and earned enough time to record an album. They started recording, even while the building was still in progress. Towards the end of the recording sessions they were joined by Joey Lugassy (vocals), and in 1985 the album was completed. No labels showed an interest at the time though, and Bun Chakeze went into a hiatus of sorts. When a remixed version were sent out in 1992 without any more interest the band went into permanent hiatus. Almost.

Fast forward some 20 years, and some of the musicians from back then, a bit wiser, somewhat older and no longer depserately working towards getting a record deal, decide that they want to preserve their old musical legacy. And perhaps give it a shot as a band again, in a somewhat more relaxed manner. With a slight name change, now using the moniker BunChakeze, they decide to release the album themselves, and even if spread all over the world a decision is made to make another attempt at the music scene. The CD was released digitally in September 2010, and a physical release set for october 15th 2010. There are even plans of adding an extra member or two to the line-up. Time will have to tell what transpires next in the long history of this band.

Influences or Favorite Bands: Everything is an influence. It's progressive.

It seemed that it was time to let a small part of CINEMA get out. It is 40 seconds of the 11 minute track on the upcoming Corvus Stone album.
Petri Lemmy Lindström 's Bass here is fabulous. MAGIC!!!
Pasi Koivu plays keys and drums
Colin Tench Guitars and Vox.
Um... Well yes.. Pasi is the drummer and Colin the the singer. Ha ha ha ha ha.
