Just a month to go until we can finally get our mitts on the long awaited Heyoka retrospective from ShroomAngel Records.
Click on the pic above to see it full size.
Back in the early seventies, a band was formed in San Antonio, Tx. that
has since gone down in history as perhaps the greatest unsigned band to
ever come from the State of Texas.
Years of endless gigging, recording
sessions, and ultimately ending after inner conflicts, changing musical
landscapes and personal tragedies, Heyoka's music has remained lost to
the ravages of time and has gained mythical status amongst the faithful
and the serious collectors.
Now, after more than 30 years since their
original studio recordings, ShroomAngel Productions in partnership with
Heyoka, have finally delivered the most eagerly anticipated CD in Texas
music history!
The original studio recordings taken from the master
tapes and digitally remastered for superior audio fidelity and NEVER
AVAILABLE BEFORE!
Stunning.
They had it all - musicianship (band
featured two guitars, singer/flautist, bass, keyboards and drums)with
chops, panache and great tone, superb compositions, multiple rhythmic
changes and complex chord progressions, and above all they had
tremendous SPIRIT.
The music is very moving, and pays homage to the
plight of Native Americans and sheds light on the many injustices done
to them and to the common everyday person.
A political, spiritual,
deeply humanitarian work, this CD represents so many emotions, so much
hard work and hopes and dreams, now finally soon to be available on CD.
The first 200 LP's include a download card.
The albums are individually
numbered, on colored vinyl, and include a 12 x 24 poster.
Only 500 made.
Out now.
The CD is a 6 panel digipak.
Due mid-October.
