Are they the new Men at Work? The new Crowded House? Well, their style is full of surprises... from Toto to Supertramp with a modern jazzy sauce. People call it prog-rock, but it is melodic and it rocks! Lyrics about environment, politics, but also about the girl next door. Straight from Adelaide, Australia the prog-rock formation Unitopia will visit Europe for the "More Than a Garden of Dreams" tour and bringing all their equipment including video screens. Scroll down or click 'read more' for the tourdates.
The band, who just released their third
album “Artificial”, features Mark Trueack on vocals, Sean Timms on vocals and keyboards, Matt Williams on guitars, David Hopgood and Tim Irrgang on drums and persussion and Ian Ritchie on saxophone. Ritchie played sax during the "Dark Side of the Moon" tour with Roger Waters.
