Atlantis Aquarius
Nibirian Sun (10")
What is the Age of Aquarius, exactly? Since popularized by the band The 5th Dimension and the play 'Hair', the moniker is now associated with the ideals of 1960s hippie drug culture. And North Texas cosmic country band Atlantis Aquarius wants to live in it, forever. Frontman Jordan Cain's (Rise & Shine, The Texas Gentlemen) life philosophy is heavily influenced by what he calls the "far out ideas" in Sir Francis Bacon's 'The New Atlantis', which describes a utopian, intellectually and culturally rich society with no government. This concept inspired Atlantis Aquarius, which is a rhythm & blues supergroup that includes vocalist Taylor Lumby (The Affections), guitarist Austin Morgan, drummer Ryan Ake (Jonathan Tyler, The Texas Gentlemen) and bassist Scott Lee (Larry Gee, Jonathan Tyler, Matt Tedder).
