ROCK THEATRE PLAYS GENESIS – SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND

It’s been 50 years since one of progressive rock’s most style-defining albums, Selling England by the Pound, came out. Considered by many to represent the pinnacle of rock band Genesis’ progressive career, the album features epic solos and strong musical compositions. The album’s theme deals with, among other things, a lack of English folk culture and an increased American influence.

PROG ROCK MEETS MODERN POETRY MEETS VISUAL ARTS
In a unique collaboration with artists Rosanna Fellman, Anna-Sofia Nylund and researcher Kaj Ahlsved, Rock Theater has created an audiovisual concept, which deals with themes from Selling England by the Pound, now published in the present tense. Has man learned from his past mistakes with energy crises, class society, excessive consumption and the search for happiness and identity? Vasabandet Rock Theater is one of Northern Europe’s leading interpreters of Genesis. The music is performed with a big heart and with respect for the sound world of the original.

Vocals and acoustic guitar: Bo-Anders Sandström
Lead guitar, double neck 12/6, backing vocals: Charles Plogman
Bass, double neck 12/4 and bass pedals: Janne Hyöty
Keyboards, backing vocals: Anton Plogman
Drums, backing vocals: Jere Lahti

With the concert SELLING FINLAND, Rock Theatre wants to honor the classic Selling England by the Pound and offer the audience a unique musical experience.
