SOFT MACHINE

Soft Machine is the band that will never die. It regenerates all the time, with new faces contain using the amazing legacy. Roy Babbington has retired a few years ago, John Marshall's retirement will be officially announced, and the amazing Fred Thelonious Baker on bass guitar and fabulous Asaf Sirkis on drums will be accompanying two post 2004 veterans of the band, the legendary guitar mega maestro John Etheridge and the wonderful Theo Travis on flute, sax and Fender Rhodes.

The new album will be released later this year and will feature John Marshall as well Roxy Babbington guesting as the companion bass player on two tunes, the synergy between Uncle Roy and Fred is truly great. There are some gigs this February and May in the UK and working on some European dates as well, and USA/Canada tour will be in October (multiple dates in New York are secured, in addition to Quebec City, Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit, Philadelphia, and much more to come), and will see how t o fit Japan and South America in the band's schedule between this and early next year.
