Robb & Pott Release Once upon the Wings in September on Nasoni Records
Newcomer collaborative duo Robb & Pott go to warp five on “Flesh ‘n’ Steel” from their debut album, Once upon the Wings — out in September through mega-respected purveyor Nasoni Records, now in their 20th year — and that’s still before they get around to covering Sam Gopal, so yeah, it’s pretty fair to say the record’s tripped out. The two-piece is made up of Robbi Robb of Californian desert jammers 3rd Ear Experience and Paul Pott of German space rockers The Space Invaders, and the record boasts five tracks from “Space Ear,” the title derived from the players’ main outfits, to the 16-minute blissery of “Prophecy #1,” each of which proves immersive and basks in chemistry that it would seem even continents couldn’t separate.
From the PR wire:
Robb & Pott – Once Upon the Wings
We are pleased to announce the release of Once Upon the Wings – a collaboration between Robbi Robb of 3rd Ear Experience and Paul_Pott of the German space rock band the Space Invaders.
Cds will be available in July 2016 and Vinyl will be released in September 2016 through Nasoni Records.
Most musicians after they have discovered their instrument of choice, enjoy playing with their friends, jamming in garages, at backyard parties and around campfires. Though some go professional eventually – there remains the attraction to return to those days of jamming and making music with good friends and like-minded musicians we meet on the way. It is this underlying sentiment that inspires this project simply called Robb&Pott. The last names of two friends.
When Robbi performed with Tribe after Tribe at the Burg Herzberg Festival he briefly met Paul who was part of the film crew Andi Weimann put together to capture Tribe live. Years later Paul would help Robbi to get his new album with 3rd Ear Experience to labels and promoters. At that time Robb did not know that Paul played bass in one of his favorite Space rock bands: the Space Invaders. This came as a great surprise. Slowly over the years their friendship developed until it was inevitable that the desire arose to do an album together – just for fun. Thus was born Robb & Pott.

I kinda forgot about Nasoni Records…then after reading this I checked their website and noticed some other new releases in 2015 and 2016 that I wasn’t aware of, like Forsaken Memoriam and Tear in Rain. Don’t they do press announcements anymore? Just this time for Robb & Pott? It would be nice to get more regular updates about the label’s activity.
They don’t do much by way of promotion, but put out such amazing stuff. This announcement came from Robb & Pott, not the label, but I was happy to put it up anyway, since pretty much any day I get to write about a Nasoni band is a good day.
