TAKE OFF TO NOVA is the alter ego of guitarist, singer and songwriter Roger Barrach. Operating in band mode live, the formation stands in the tradition of the power trios of the 1960s, like Jimi Hendrix's Experience, Band Of Gypsys, Cream as well as the later Rush and The Police. TAKE OFF TO NOVA celebrates the idiom, but never aims at writing typical genre-songs. Guitar riffs stand in contrast to pop melodies with an inherent eighties playfulness and coolness. While rock can easily grow stiff with power, the band's music stays light-footed. TAKE OFF TO NOVA are restless, yearning for Utopia. Are you ready for take-off?
