Dear friends
Thanks to those who attended the Brackets & Jam night - we had a great
time and thanks so much to all those kind words of support from the
audience. You made it wonderful for us and we sincerely thank you for
that.
PLANNED BREAK FROM LIVE PERFORMANCE
Karmakult is now going into a chrysalis stage. Recording a new album,
with some line-up changes planned for the subsequent tour. We want to
assure fans that at the end of this cathartic process, Karmakult will
emerge bigger and better than it ever has been with a hot new lineup of
talent and an amazing arsenal of new songs and instrumentals that will
leave you gasping for more. The next album from Karmakult is already
simmering in the studio and planned for release later in 2009.
NEW SINGLE
Our single being released for ANZAC day is the crowd favourite "Rosemary".
"I wrote Rosemary after attending a Dawn Service with my dad a few
years back. They are always very emotional and touching services. I
was so inspired by the service and the imagery of the rosemary bush
that as soon as I got home I wrote it. I find my best writing comes
like that and I just call it channeling.... that's what it's like. I'm
very proud of our recorded version and James Overend's guitar solos
gave the song a very emotive edge" - Rendall Wagner.
The Art of Illusion
The second release from Karmakult and the transitional album that has
created the sound you now hear from the group.. Available in MP3 and
CD formats from CD Baby at the following link:
http://cdbaby.com/cd/rendall2
Aum
This is the collectable first album from Karmakult's humble
singer/songwriter "Rendall Wagner" - the album that started the whole
thing off. It is a rock album and contains the crowd favourites "No
Lies" and "Freedom of Mind". The songwriting and lyrics are there in
this debut album from the guy that has brought you Karmakult.
Although it's unmistakably a classic rock album, the name "Aum" and
the lyrical and musical content of songs such as "Freedom of Mind"
point to the future direction of the band, making the "Art of
Illusion" the natural progression and potential realised. Available
in MP3 and CD formats from CD Baby at the following link:
http://cdbaby.com/cd/rendall
Keep an ear out for us on the airwaves and keep checking the myspace
regularly for new demos from the new album.
Namaste

Dear friends
Following our successful performance at Peats Ridge
Festival the new
CD is here!
Over two years in the making - 'The Art of Illusion'.
On this long
awaited follow-up I've fused Eastern music elements
(Indian/Turkish)
with progressive hard rock.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Excerpt from 'The Rendall Wagner Band'
In generating a fusion of progressive rock and eastern
music, the
Rendall Wagner Band lures the listener into a trance
with the haunting
sounds of the flute alongside timeless eastern rhythms
with pieces
like The Mammoth and Io. This is also how the Rendall
Wagner Band
weaves its magic through songs such as Sugar Sweet,
Waiting and The
Art of Illusion, mixing haunting melodies with heavy
rock riffs
through the high-volume power chords of guitar, bass
and drums
reminiscent of the hard rock of Led Zeppelin. In
moving from the
margins to the mainstream, the Rendall Wagner Band
blends eastern
sounds of Turkey, Egypt and India using the baglama,
darrabuka,
harmonium and drone alongside more mainstream rock
tunes through songs
such as Drawn, Embrace and Because I Love You.
As a singer/songwriter, Rendall Wagner is clearly
influenced by his
Indian and Australian ancestry referenced in his
lyrics that move from
a reflection on the tragedy of World War I and Vietnam
to a reflection
on the destruction of humanity and the age of Kali.
Meaningful lyrics
about life, love and even the music industry also form
part of the
eclectic composition of Wagner's music.
Deirdre Howard

local gig guides.

Rendall Wagner
