More information: Chimpan A, are the electronica inspired prog duo comprising singer Steve Balsamo (Jon Lord / Eric Woolfson / Superstar) and Robert Reed (Magenta / Cyan / Sanctuary)
In advance of the band releasing their 3rd album ‘M.I.A. Vol. 1’ the band are releasing four old school singles, one a month, each with an original track alongside a cover. They take on a plethora of [in their words] “probably untouchable” sacred cows, delivering their versions of massive songs from Peter Gabriel, Jimmy Webb, The Hollies, Carole King, even Hot Chocolate.
At the very core of the project is what the pair describes unapologetically as an ‘old-fashioned’ response to the ‘TikTokification’ of music. ‘M.I.A. Vol. 1’ honours the vinyl album tradition, with clearly defined sides A and B; the first has shorter, more commercial tracks, with Side B made up of longer pieces.
Guests include: Kirstie Roberts - Vocals / Christina Booth - Vocals / Angharad Brinn - Vocals / Ged Lynch - Drums / Guy Pratt - Bass Guitar / Neil Fairclough - Bass Guitar / Neil Taylor - Guitar / Tony Dallas - Spoken Word / Sam Brown - Vocals / Aitch McRobbie - Vocals / Margo Buchanan - Vocals / Shan Cothi - Vocals
