Regii - good idea to start a thread for Noxshi here. It must be so thrilling for those guys to be playing those venues!

Reading all the posts from people who have been to the lastest concerts Downunder, Noxshi has greatly impressed the audiences, both in Perth, and Adelaide. In one post it says considering the majority of the audience is 40 plus, (not that means 40 is old), even a 76 year old was seen climbing the stairs, the audience listened and apprecaited the Noxshi band. I think Yoriyos and his band will have gained an experience Downunder like never before. With a little promotion I feel Noxshi will have a new following Downunder, maybe a mini tour again in the near future.  Australia is open to new sounds, and craves new talent. |

My wife and I really enjoyed them, a great band.
There is a Albert King-ish blues vein running through music that at times sounds a little like early 70's Floyd and a bit of Porcupine Tree here and there.
They have come up with a unique sound, all of their own that I really like.

noxshi-interview-uk-band
In town from the UK to support Yusef Islam (Cat Stevens) on his long awaited Australian tour, and featuring Yusef's son Yoriyos Adamos, is the band Noxshi. While in town, we had a brief chat to the band about their upcoming debut album and the Australian tour!
Hey guys, welcome to Australia! How has it been treating you so far?
This is the first time for all the band in Australia and we are overwhelmed by the positive attitudes we are encountering. There is also so much space here both in the physical sense but also cerebral space in which the mind can wander.
Your music is quite different to Yusufs - does your live show in this context change at all from what we might see at your own show?
Yusuf suggested that we inject some blues into our set for his shows. This was great as it allowed us to explore our passion for late 60s British Blues Rock such as Cream, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac etc.. In our own shows we exorcise a more progressive, wild alternative, heavy sound
And along the same lines, how have audiences seemed to react to your music while on the support circuit?
Support acts have a great job because they help fill up what can be a frustratingly long wait for the main event. We work hard to set a certain type of mood and conjure an energy that will give the audience an awesome experience for the whole night.
I'd like to move back to the beginning now and ask how the band formed?
Yoriyos was looking for live band members after the release of his solo album 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee' (2007). Hallam (guitar) successfully auditioned and as a deep friendship was born they began to look for imaginative and talented musicians that could help them realise their visions. Alexander Gabay (bass) from Sweden had been recommended on account of his unorthodox, creative approach. Ben Steer is a childhood friend of Hallam and was brought in to play keys and provide atmospheric space sounds. When it came time to find a new drummer Alex forwarded another Swede Erik Fastern whose energy and spirit has taken the project to a new level.
You've been together for a couple of years now, and gone through some member changes - how has your sound evolved over those years into what we hear today?
We did two EPs which chart the progression of the band's sound, however, we're pretty fluid with our approach to the band's sound which is why you will find that the debut album 'The Way They Lush' covers a massive amount of musical territory.
Would 2008 Noxshi be at all surprised by the way 2010 Noxshi sounds?
Not so much surprised as we always intended to give our imaginations free reign over our sound. More so proud that we have not compromised our beliefs in expression and learning.
Your bio says "Noxshi conjure thoughts of Zappa, Nirvana and Hendrix" - is that who you collectively grew up listening to?
All of the band members come from different musical places but the names mentioned unite us as do our open minded approaches to each other's influences and backgrounds.
Where else do you find inspiration for your music?
Inspiration comes from the all permeating force of the Universe.
Your debut album "The Way They Lush" is due out officially later this year, I'm first curious about the title - how did it come about?
It was a line in a song that never got used. Lush is a poetic device that may trigger thoughts such as the feminine involuntary intimate.
Looking at the names attached to the album, I note David Tickle mixed the album and Howie Weinberg mastered it. These are two of the biggest names in their respective fields - what was it like recording the album with them?
It was a delight to make the record we wanted to make with the support of people who know how to get the job done.
Did you work closely with them or let them do their thing?
We were very much involved in every part of the creation and production of the record. We take direction very well when it come from experience and understanding but are very clear on our ideas of what music is about.
I imagine it was quite the learning experience, having them work with you on the album - and just putting a debut record together in general. What can you take away from the process - what have you learnt?
We are all about learning in all aspects of our beings. The album has confirmed to us the importance of trusting our own instincts.
And the most important question is, of course, are you pleased with the end result?
The album is vast and ambitious. I am very proud to say that we have produced a great piece. Like a complex meal, if you rush it it may turn your stomach but if you give it time and respect it will reward you with all sorts of wonderful nutrition.
And finally, what will the rest of 2010 hold for Noxshi?
You can be assured that Noxshi will drive forwards along their own path no matter what obstacles the industry throws in our way!
Thanks very much guys! We look forward to catching you in Sydney!

If you believe it or not i was thinking that before that Yusuf had something to do with the Blues thing
