OLIVA Sessions - Sean Riley

Morning Nick, His voice reminds me of a 10 year old Taylors Port, which when tasting goes down like the very best soft velvet and then it hits the spot...and makes you feel so warm and good. In otherwords he sings from his soul. Ali

The man can hold a tune, very nice.
real name Afonso Rodrigues, so we cant claim him

The new OLIVA Sessions features the fantastic Black Bombaim:

OLIVA Sessions - Black Bombaim

Black Bombaim are a stoner/psych rock band from Barcelos, and released one of my favourite records of last year, called Titans (a double album, on vinyl, with just four tracks, and featuring cameos from people like Steve Mackay from The Stooges and Isaiah Mitchell from Earthless). They played at Cartaxo Sessions in December with Lumerians. Great live band...

Black Bombaim are playing Roadburn Festival in Holland next month, along with Psychic TV who are headlining the main stage on the 19th before heading via Berlin and Geneva to Cartaxo for a show on the 24th, as well as Eternal Tapestry who will be wending their way south through Europe and play in Cartaxo on May 10th...

Thanks, Nick

The new session from Oliva Creative Factory is a really great Portuguese band called Sensible Soccers:

I'm hoping to have them come and play in Cartaxo at some point...
