Former Kasabian guitarist Chris Karloff will take his new venture Black Onassis out on the road in February 2014 for six live dates.

The tour will see Black Onassis displaying a light and projection show for their songs which have largely been recorded with the help of guest vocalists. “One thing that’s inspired me a lot to write music is movies, and not just watching them but listening to the music in them as well,” says Karloff.

“That’s been a massive influence for me, even back in the Kasabian days. From classic John Williams stuff to Ennio Morricone. I want things to be visually interesting as well as sonically good. The fusion of sight and sound is the perfect marriage in terms of stimulation, and we wanted to put a lot of thought into making it an overall experience for our fans.”

The track ‘Ether’ – featuring Morgan Kibby – has been made available as a free download:
