Malachai

There are at least two bands with the name Malachai: 1) The following is about the Bristol Band. They are comprised of Gee (vocals) and Scott Hendy (aka Boca 45, music). Their sound is a mix of beats and samples, drawing on a wide range of influences from dub to sixties pop, all tied together by Gee's distinctive voice. Discovered by Geoff Barrow from the Bristol band Portishead, to date Malakai have released a limited-edition 12? on Barrow's Invada label, called ?Fading World'.

Discovered by Geoff Barrow from the Bristol band Portishead, to date Malakai have released a limited-edition 12? on Barrow's Invada label, called ?Fading World'. This track was used as the music to accompany the ?I Count: Stop Climate Chaos' video that first aired at the 2007 Glastonbury Festival.

?Fading World' is set to be followed by the band's major label debut, ?EP 1' on Island Records later in 2007. The lead track from ?EP 1', titled ?The Battle' has already received considerable hype from Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe.


2) Surgido em 2005 no Brasil, o Malachai mescla influ?ncias do Rock Rural, Progressivo e Psicod?lico produzido no pa?s nas d?cadas de 1960 e principalmente de 1970 com os prim?rdios do Rock americano e dos estilos que deram origem ao g?nero, como o Country e o Blues. Ainda assim, o Malachai quer dist?ncia da palavra nostalgia. Com uma proposta art?stica de inquietude e cria??o de conceitos instigantes sempre olhando para frente, a vontade ? justamente modernizar esses estilos que fizeram a cabe?a dos m?sicos do Presente, Passado e Futuro, ultilizando as novas tecnologias. Partindo desse ponto, a banda constr?i uma identidade pr?pria e fala de um mundo que soa m?gico, mas que ? um reflexo do mundo que conhecemos. Atrav?s de muito surrealismo e ironia, o Malachai canta as mazelas e as del?cias da vida com a mesma paix?o.
