Kavus is a multi-instrumentalist who was a member of the popular progressive group Cardiacs, and is currently the lead guitarist and frontman for the current lineup of the legendary psychedelic band Gong, as well as his own projects including Knifeworld, and the Utopia Strong. Kavus frequently collaborates with other artists in the prog and avant-garde genres, and he is co-author of the book Medical Grade Music, along with Steve Davis, a well-known British Snooker player, DJ, and Kavus’ band mate in the Utopia Strong. This is a fun, and incredibly well-written autobiography of both men. In general, if you like unconventional psychedelic rock and avant-garde music, Kavus is your man – go out and listen to everything he’s involved with. He also has a solo LP out called Hip To The Jag, which is an awesome record. And if you want to hear a couple of cool tracks on there, check out the songs You Broke My Fall, and Radio to Their World – where his vocals actually sound like Syd Barrett!
