Kavus Torabi’s pretty much the ultimate musical chameleon. The guy’s played with some of the wildest, weirdest, and honestly most legendary bands out there. If you’ve ever dipped your toes into the trippy sounds of Gong, yeah, that’s him on stage, totally shredding it. But he’s not just a Gong guy. Nah, he’s been all over—The Monsoon Bassoon, that cult favorite with the impossible time signatures; Cardiacs, who basically invented their own language in music; Knifeworld, Guapo, The Holy Family, and The Utopia Strong, too. He flips between guitar, bass, vocals, whatever—he’s that kind of musician. Each band’s got its own flavor: cosmic prog, mathy chaos, psychedelic freak-outs. He’s like the secret ingredient that keeps things unpredictable and, let’s be real, never boring. If you’re into music that refuses to sit still, this dude’s discography is a goldmine.
