Amazing vocal performance, sounds a bit like Janis Joplin. Tight band too, well played. :)

I love the blues - you guys do a great job.  The album art is so cool too, btw.  Cheers!

Changing

Another Man

Our track "Ocean Waves" musically demonstrates how we are all connected  in the world. Listen for the magical mantra in this track. Hold that in your heart & know you ARE a valuable part in this life.

Ocean Waves feat. Pixie Post by Billy Korg

Another song came into being in a very strange way. 

Betty wasn't very convinced. She didn't like the music and there were no lyrics yet. Patrick, on the other hand, was immediately in love with it.
The words for this song were born on a shopping receipt on the way to the holidays, in the car, thinking of a dear friend who was going through a difficult time in his life. 
For him and also for Betty this song is written.

B.P.M.

Keep Going

I don’t know where I am and then
Light, beckoning, its frozen embrace

So far away…

I feel it calling 
Tearing me 
From this life
Taking everything 
This distant cold light

Never ending In the dark
So cold and distant, its icy gaze

So far away...

I feel it calling
 Tearing me 
From this life
Taking everything 
This distant cold light

Tethered to mother
Let go

Can’t you see
I am not agony
I was sent to 
deliver you on high
My child of light

I feel it calling 
Breaking me 
From these chains
Changing everything 
This distant cold…

I feel it calling
Embracing me 
Freeing me 
From these chains
Changing everything 
This distant cold light

Cold Light

Energy Vampires

A classic blues tune done as quickly as we could manage. 68 seconds of raging guitar and poignant lyrics. 

Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

The sound of survival is running wild
Through these streets of decay
This evil city isn’t so pretty
When you’ve got nowhere to stay
The sound of survival no doubt will blind you,
So you just look away
In a state of denial your mind running wild
You can’t escape from the fear

Twilight’s descending over the city,
Evil’s out on the street
Don’t ask where I’m going ’cause I still don’t know yet,
Or what will become of me
My mind’s on fire burning with desire
Hoping that I’ll find my way
I hope I’ll be dreaming from the twilight’s last gleaming
Till the stroke of dawn

The sound of survival is running wild
In a world that’s gone mad
And deep in your mind you know that you won’t survive, girl,
If you don’t get away
So don’t get trapped here and you may escape from
A fate worse than death
Only the sound of survival, running wild,
Is left ringing in your ears

Just A Woman

Vienna-based band Portobello Express are like a time portal into the golden age of the Psychedelic Heavy Blues Rock , exploring a sound that has its roots in the late 60s and early 70s and harnessing that era’s unique, raw energy whilst paying homage to their multicultural roots. “Portobello” is both a reference to London’s famed Portobello Road, the psychedelic mushrooms of the same name and singer Betty’s Italian heritage, whereas “Express” is a neat reference to “espresso” - an Italian staple - and trains and their sheer power. The band has evolved to become a force that reminds us what it was like when Psych & Heavy Rock were in their heyday, with a powerful stage presence that unites the room.
