NEKTAR Celebrate 40th Anniversary With Release of New Live CD
April 28, 2009, 15 years ago
Progressive rockers NEKTAR will release a new live double CD called Fortyfied, to celebrate their 40th Anniversary,
Recorded on their 2008 tour of Europe, Fortyfied is released on the band's own label Treaclemusic and features many beloved Nektar classics such as ‘Tab In The Ocean’, ‘Recycled Pt.1’, ‘Man In The Moon’ and part two of the group's classic ‘Remember The Future’.
"It's pretty timeless music," says Roye Albrighton (vocals and guitar), "and what I'm hearing from most of the new, younger fans that are now coming to our shows, is that it's like going back in time. They are starting to really discover music again, which, of course, is a great relief to us and some of the older bands from our time."Nektar is scheduled to play four shows in America:
May
1 - Philadelphia, PA - Keswick Theater2 - Springfield, VA - Jaxx
3 - Glenside, PA - Rosfest (end of Rosfest special acoustic/electric show)
4 - New York, NY - Concert Hall NYC
"To make more music, and to experiment more in different ways...an orchestrated version of 'Journey' is not unlikely, but we'll see," says Roye. "I am also working on a new solo album, but this will take some time to finish, Nektar is taking up a lot of my time at the moment." An acoustic Nektar tour is also in the works.”
