Hi all,,
 
I am new to this forum and while scrolling through I saw that one of my fave bands info is incorrect and in need of an update! I have searched for any updates posted elsewhere on here but couldnt find any so please forgive me if I am repeating something that has been posted elsewhere.
 
Karnataka now feature Ian Jones on bass and acoustic guitars, Lisa Fury on vocals & percussion, Gonzalo Carrera on keyboards, Enrico Pinna on lead guitar and Ian Harris on drums and percussion.
Rachael Jones the old lead singer is now in a band called the Reasoning quite a departure from Karnataka and  Anne Marie Helder and the other guys formed the band Panic  Room both of these bands have a somewhat harder rock sound to Karnataka (not a bad thing) but hey ,its only my opinion!

Karnataka are on a short UK tour starting on October 14th at the Robin Bilston & it finishes at the Point in Cardiff on Oct 27th. Full details are on the website http://www.karnataka.netmx.co.uk/
There are some cracking photos of the last tour in 2007 & some of the latest line up including the new drummer Ian Harris. The site forum is also quite active and the band members drop in quite often!
 
I suppose I am a fairly recent fan of the band after seeing them at last years Cambridge Rock Festival I didnt know who they were or what they sounded like but I was blown away by the live performance and was lucky enough to meet Lisa and Gonzalo after the gig, they were really friendly and signed all the gear I bought! Really looking forward to the new album the site says it should be out very soon.
 
I hope to get to the Point show this tour and I see they are also doing a show with Jade Warrior at the Astoria on this tour so cash permitting hoping to make that one too!
 
I was gonna try to post the tour poster on here but couldnt quite fathom out why it wouldnt do it...DOH!
 
Rock On!! Cool

LOL, Well done sir!
 
I have to say I saw Karnataka at the Komedia Brighton & was totally blown away yet again so much so I am going to see them again at The Astoria2 with Jade Warrior. a
 
A huge step forward from the last tour.with a much more rockier edge to the sound on the new material,steering away from the previous Mostly Autumn comparisons If you havnt seen the new line up Check them out!!
 
Could I be cheeky & suggest "Epic Celtic Prog Rock" as a new classification!! Tongue

you can suggest the classification, blissfully unaware of the infighting, disputes and general hair-pulling it might cause..Wink
 
seriously though, Sleeper & I saw them last Tuesday night at Bilston and they put on a very good show, however I do tend to agree that the new band will in all probability, at some stage be removed from the Prog-Folk camp, 'cos the new stuff sure ain't folk...Embarrassed

LOL .. I aim to please!  Big smile
 
I also heard from a mate that it was a good one at Bilston & about the comedy moment- unplugged acoustic guitar unplugging thing! I believe there were a few minor sound clarity problems as well but they were spot on at the Komedia and had a very atmospheric light show to boot! Great venue! Great gig!
 
Yes, the term folk is right out the window with the new stuff that's for sure!
