nik turner » biog » outriders of apocalypse
Nik Turner's Outriders of Apocalypse show takes its musical inspiration from South American culture dating from 10,000 BC to 2,012 AD and relates aspects of this culture to the typical themes and characters of world mythology. Like Darth Vader orchestrated by Gil Evans, the Space Jazz Funk of the Outriders pulls together the music that has inspired Nik over the years, further shaped by his journeys to ancient sites in Mexico, Egypt, and the lands of the Celts. The Outriders line-up brings together a core group of musicians drawn from bands that Nik has played with over the years including Hawkwind, Inner City Unit and The Nik Turner Band. Special performances will see this group augmented by an array of musicians bringing an eclectic mix of instrumentation to the show, including brass, strings and percussion, with dancers bringing to life stories from across space and time.
