In it for the music
Having started listening to and playing rock music from a very young age, all three members of TAKE OFF TO NOVA have a rich musical background to refer to.
Roger and André both turned their passion into profession. Each of them has various other musical projects, while also teaching music to students. Christiane chose another artistic discipline for her trade and is a graphic designer in working life.
The three enjoy playing together for the band experience: Spending time in the rehearsal room (which is located in Cologne), working on songs, organizing gigs – it´s a real heart affair. More serious than any job.
Vintage guitar riffs and jazz-rock solos meet playful melodies
In their music the band builds upon the timeless foundation of classic rock riffs, expanding their sound with elements of jazz, pop, and progressive music.
The poignant lyrics address themes such as female empowerment ('Racer'), political commentary ('Mind Bomb'), and the inner battles against one's own demons ('Gust Of Wind', 'Neon Light Faeries'). If you appreciate vintage guitar tones, skilled musicianship, and meaningful lyrics, you won't want to overlook these three.

KURZER PRESSETEXT
TAKE OFF TO NOVA sind ein Power-Trio in der Tradition von Jimi Hendrix, The Police und Rush. Ihre Songs entfalten sich mit vielen Zwischentönen. Vintage Gitarren-Riffs à la Led Zeppelin stehen in Kontrast zu poppigen Melodien, denen eine Eighties-Verspieltheit und „Coolness“ innewohnt.
Einen Faible für Jazz-Rock zeigen die drei Musiker mit improvisierten Soli.
Neben minutiös ausgearbeiteten Parts darf der Zufall nicht zu kurz kommen: Spielfreude ist hier Programm!
