Rock Against Child Pornography Concert
Band of the week By D.J. Beerman
Rock
Against Child Pornography are an awareness campaign group, simply put,
they are the same as you or I only they are shouting out to make heard
the silenced and silent topic of child pornography. The risk to
children both in cyberspace and the real world from the evil of
paedophiles and paedophilia in whatever form or context it may arise.
Rock
Against Child Pornography are organising concerts, primarily within the
Rock genre, to combine live performance with the strong message that
any form of child abuse is not acceptable and that they demand changes
that favour the victims of such crimes and more resources to be made
available in the field of prevention. Through the medium of music, they
can reach out to the thousands who want to see reform for our children
in the modern world.
Each week I will be writing about one of the
bands who are bringing their music to the first Rock Against Child
Pornography Concert of 2009 at The Old Wharf Birmingham England on the
23rd May
This weeks band is.
Picture
yourself in Ancient Egypt, the sounds of street traders, the smell of
incense and spices, the dry heat, the mystical magic of a long past era
and add ROCK!!!!!!!!! This is what Anubis bring you.
Starting as a
project back in May 2007 with the astounding talents of Pete Williamson
(The Jackal), Sarah Co'Burn (Isis) and Simon Lees (The Pharoah) the
Anubian legend had begun. The debut album Sibuna was a global success
receiving huge reviews and it was plain the "project" was alot bigger
than anyone expected so in 2008 Kevin Bartlett (Osiris) joined the band
in preparation to take Anubis on a 2009 European festival tour and with
the release of the Avatar EP demand for live shows has hit fever pitch.
With Sarah working on a solo album release and a second full Anubis
album both to be launched later this year Anubian interest can only get
stronger.
Anubis
have a huge spectrum to their music taking the listener on a journey
into the unknown but with the proven sheer excellence and experience
these musicians posess it is no surprise to hear utter quality in every
track. With the added variation of both Simon and Sarah's vocal talents
they have the scope to develop each song to perfection and with
singular performances and duets throughout the tracks there really is
a diversity that is unmissable, Simons guitars are a statement to show
how rock should be played, breathtaking genius!!! with solos that will
make you salivate along with great strong vocals, add to this the
massive bass experience Pete has, he and Kevin on drums are a perfect
combination while Sarah brings the keyboard side and her beautifully
haunting voice that will entrance and steal your heart.
Instrumentally
there is a feel of a well oiled machine with all components working
together in harmony, sometimes it feels they are telepathically
connected and the songs can flow silkily between full on classic rock
to a darker side of the genre with the vocal contrast providing a
complete emotional experiece when listening.
Now
Anubis are ready to take the world by storm so be prepared to be taken
to the land of the ancients and wallow in the majestic quality of a
band with years of performing at the top level under their belts, a
band where the members are legends in their own rights, a band that is
Anubis.
One thing is for certain Anubis will carry your Soul
across the Nile as written in the Prophecy and there you will hear
their music and be at rest!!!!!
Anubis will be
appearing at The Rock Against Child Pornography Concert at The Old
Wharf, Oxford Street, Digbeth Birmingham. on 23rd May 2009DJ Beerman
