Daevid Allen & University Of Errors (AU/US)

Daevid Allen: University of errors is an aggressive political anti capitalist rock band & does not always give out positive vibes. It is more punk than hippy and in it I work with dissonance & shadow. I see this band as art as a mirror. Reflecting back the ugliness of the world. Our new record soon to be released is called : “Ugly Music for Monica”.

Daevid Allen (born Christopher David Allen, 13 January 1938 in Melbourne, Australia), sometimes credited as Divided Alien, an Australian poet, guitarist, singer, composer and performance artist is co-founder of psychedelic rock groups Soft Machine (in the UK, 1966) and Gong (in France, 1970).

For many years now, Daevid Allen has been a member of the University of Errors, who have released four albums, and of the jazz rock band Brainville 3. He has also recorded with Spirits Burning, a space rock supergroup whose members include Alan Davey, Bridget Wishart, Karl E. H. Seigfried, and Simon House. Some of Daevid Allen’s most experimental work has been with the long running noise band Big City Orchestra including live performances, and more than a half dozen CD releases.

“……can’t be classified as rock or fusion or Krautrock

or psychedelic, etc – rather, it has elements of all of

this but comes out melodic, dynamic, accessible,

fascinating and entirely fresh.”
