Born from the revolutionary late sixties, GONG as a band
never stays still.
In 2012 rather than taking the obvious route of the popular
“classic Gong” lineup, the band has radically changed
with a fresh young band ready to think outside the box
without losing touch with the gong vibe.
Inspired by the many revolutions brewing in the world
right now, Gilli and Daevid, original founders of the band, are
drawing on their revolutionary past to support the youthdriven
world-wide peace movements sweeping the world.
With the emergence of the Occupy Movement, Wiki
Leaks and Anonymous, it is to be expected that Gong return
to its origins to tour at a basic grass roots level, disabling
the corporate theft of their music by engaging directly
with a worldwide gong fan-base expanding steadily over 40
years.
This tour is also a milestone as it marks the introduction
of Orlando Allen, son of Gilli and Daevid, as a driving force on
drums, making this the first time that three members of
the family have played together on the same tour.
