(Glass Onyon) Flower Kings vocalist Hasse Froberg and his group Musical Companion are releasing a new album 'Powerplay' on April 23rd. About a year after the release of their critically highly acclaimed debut 'Futurepast' (Sept. 2010), the band entered the studio to cut the backing tracks for 'Powerplay' (April 2012).
The debut CD generated gigs in countries such as Sweden, Norway, Germany, Holland and Belgium. With the release of 'Powerplay', the band is now confirmed for festivals ("RoSfest", Gettysburg in USA and "Night of the prog", Loreley in Germany) as well as gigs on both sides of the Atlantic.
As sound engineer on 'Powerplay', the band has chosen to work with Tomas Bodin. He's a colleague with Hasse in the established and influential prog band The Flower Kings. The collaboration proved to work out just fine and even if Hasse likes to be in the studio, he prefers the live scene: "Playing live is definitely the right element for us. I really can't wait to take The Musical Companion and the songs on 'Powerplay' on the road".
The line-up of the band is still the same, Hasse Frφberg & Musical Companion:
Hasse Frφberg: Lead vocals, rhythm guitar
Anton Lindsjφ: Lead guitar, backing vocals
Kjell Haraldsson: Keyboards, backing vocals
Thomsson: Bass, backing vocals
Ola Strandberg: Drums, backing vocals
