DeeExpus
Announced for RoSfest 2010.

Rosfest is pleased to announce that DeeExpus have been selected to play our coveted Sunday morning Church of Prog slot! Up until very recently DeeExpus had been the long time solo project of songwriter, producer and multi instrumentalist Andy Ditchfield.  A chance reunion with singer and old friend Tony Wright in March 2007 expanded the project into two people for the first time and writing and recording of the album “Half Way Home” began. The DeeExpus sound can only be described as being as eclectic as their influences, drawn from years of listening to the likes of Joe Jackson, Iron Maiden, It Bites, Crash Test Dummies, Rush, Nik Kershaw and Marillion,  more recently Porcupine Tree and  Spock’s Beard. Having recently released “Half Way Home”, Tony and Andy are working hard with the rest of the band to take DeeExpus on the road… The current band line up is:  Tony Wright – Lead Vocals, Andy Ditchfield – Guitar, Keyboards & Vocals, Ian Raine – Bass Guitar & Vocals, Steve Wright – Guitar & Vocals, Kev Jager – Drums & Vocals.  Look for this stellar band to make a great introduction in our celebrated Sunday morning church slot.  You definitely want to be there when this band performs.

Magic Pie Announced for RoSfest 2010.

RoSfest is pleased to annouce Magic Pie back to the RoSfest stage as one of our headliners for 2010.  The band will play the headlining slot on Sunday night, May 2nd, 2010.
 
The band was established in 2001 and consists of Kim Stenberg (guitars), Eirik Hanssen (lead vocals, acc. guitar), Gilbert Marshall (organ, keyboards, lead vocals), Eirikur Hauksson (lead vocals,acc guitar), Lars Petter Holstad (bass guitar) and Jan T. Johannessen (drums).

The characteristic and unique Magic Pie sound is founded on strong melodious songs, blended by powerful vocal arrangements, sparkling guitar riffs, 70’s organ and synths, and solid bass-drumwork. The music embraces a wide spectrum of styles, changing from the softest emotional piece to the more heavy metal riffs.

Even if the band has it’s unique sound and signature, influences from Spock’s Beard, Deep Purple, Yes, Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, Kansas, Flower Kings and Uriah Heep is perceptible in the musical “pie”.

The band signed with Swedish record label “Progress Records” in 2005 and released their first album “Motions of Desire” the same year. In 2007 they released their follow-up and second album “Circus of Life”. The total response for the albums has been overwhelming by both musical critics and audience all over the world, and  their live performances equal to the musicianship presented in the studiowork.

The band is actively working on their new studio album and it should be ready in time for RoSfest.
 
During the recent years the band has performed with extreme success at various locations and festivals in USA, Sweden and Norway, peaking at their performance at Sweden Rock Festival 2007.
