One of the summer’s most highly anticipated tours, “Legends
of U.K. Classic Rock”, will feature progressive rock legends
Nektar,
beginning in June
2013. After a bit of an absence from U.S. Stages, Nektar is sure to
be a treat for concert-goers who will be fortunate enough to catch
one of the shows!
Nektar
founding member Roye Albrighton (guitars/lead vocals) says, “We can
promise you high quality performances wherever we play. I know I
speak on behalf of the band when I say we are all looking forward to
it.”
Nektar,
featuring Albrighton, founding drummer Ron Howden, keyboardist Klaus
Hentasch and bassist Lux Vibratus, is British, but was formed in
Hamburg, Germany in 1970. Their early albums featured a heady,
exhilarating mix of progressive, experimental rock sounds that soon
caught on worldwide at the height of the international prog-rock
boom. Touring the world behind numerous album releases throughout the
‘70s & ‘80s helped to cement the band’s reputation as an
influential prog-rock legend. Having undergone a variety of personnel
changes over the past decade or so, the band now boasts its strongest
lineup in years and is ready to prove so yet again to its many fans
throughout North America. In celebration of the 40th
anniversary of the original release date of the band’s classic
album, Remember the Future, Nektar is looking to
perform in its entirety this most heralded release from its vast
catalog, a rarity in that the band has not performed the entire album
live in years.
Nektar’s
new album, Time Machine, featuring the band’s first
album of new original material in several years, will be released on
Cleopatra Records on June 18.
