Sometimes, among many bands, it is very difficult to choose a band to representing the month, after a hard listening many CDs, I have found a special and original band and, in my opinion, the winner was Black Bonzo. The Band combines elements of the Hard Rock, Psychedelic, Progressive Rock with touchs of Symphonic Rock into their songs, creating a highly original form of Progressive Music, highly inspired around famous bands from the years 70, as "Novalis", "Uriah Heep", "Jane", "Frumpy", and "Omega", bass and drums develop some very cool rhythm sections, while we can listen sharp guitar sounds, but the main highlights are the keyboard sounds ranging from Mellotron to Organ, with amazing and majestic arrangements. Another important fact are the right soft vocals that, also lay down an impressive impact over the music. Black Bonzo could be considered one of those bands that, it must have a special attention when we hear them by first time. Brilliant and an indispensable work, highly recommendable... The
musicians are:

BONZO
 
the remnants of the psychedelic rock n´roll eight-piece group, "Gypsy"
"Sons Of Magic". The members whom now form Black Bonzo had a direction
in mind that didn't suit the style and form of the previous band. Which
led to their unavoidable demise, and the beginning of the new band. As
soon as Black Bonzo started rehearsing and writing new material,
everyone was stunned, shocked and amazed how powerful the band was sounding. 
Soon, new sounds were added like the mellotron and piano with the organ
as one of the base instrument in the hands of "Nicklas". Giving a whole
new depth to the music along with Mike's intensive drumming, the
very thought through guitar works of Joakim, and Magnus’s personal and
clever voice backed  up
by the firm and steady bass lines of Patrick. With new songs rehearsed
and with the sound of their minds, a couple of gigs were done and with
huge positive response. By the summer of 2003 a record deal was landed
with B & B Records, and during the winter the band started to work
on their first album, leaving no detail behind...
