The ever-changing entity that is Gong is, as always, heading into uncharted territory with a new album and a new tour that is sure to be the subject of discussion. From their beginnings in a French commune in 1967, through the Virgin Records years, mismanagement, court cases, break-ups and reunions, deaths and rebirths - there has always been a continuous thread of beautiful, dangerous and extraordinary music. The current bearers of the flame have come together over the last seven years; lithe bassist Dave Sturt joined when the album 2032 was shown to the world; Ian 'Eastwinds' East was the next to blow in through the portal; Fabio Golfetti brought his guitars from Brazil (having worked with Daevid for many years); Kavus Torabi appeared to Daevid in a vision; Cheb Nettles just sort of turned up. Gong's musically diverse world encompasses shades of psychedelia, space rock, jazz, avant-garde, krautrock and surreal soundscapes. As members of the precariat, Gong have never played it safe.
