PHOENICIAN DRIVE

Phoenician Drive is a six piece band formed in Brussels early 2015 by percussionist Diego Moscoso who gathered musicians coming from very different musical backgrounds (flamenco, balkan, psychedelic rock’n’roll, jazz, post-punk/new wave) in order to make drums and fuzzy guitars meet with oud and Eastern percussions. In the footsteps of earlier East-West musical blendings from the 70’s like Erkin Koray or Orient Express, and under the influence of the German “kraut-rock” scene (Neu!, Can, Faust, …), Phoenician Drive searches the hypnotic trance based on distorted oriental grooves.
