Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams
Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams is one of those few bands that can be utterly distinct and endearingly familiar at the same time. With a sound imagined by one critic as "if David Bowie recorded Hunky Dory with The Band in the basement of Big Pink," the group blends the psychedelic atmospherics of King Crimson and Pink Floyd with songwriting reminiscent of folk legends like Bob Dylan and Neil Young. With a passionate fan base that's willing to follow the group for hundreds of miles, the band is renowned for their live shows and thrilling performances. Their latest studio release, The Great Unravel, was released in August 2008.
