Instant Flight - She Shines
Instant Flight are a London based multi-national (Italian-Czech-Brit) band hailing from the 1960s British Psychedelic counter culture movement. Their self titled EP came out in 2001, followed by the albums "Colours & Lights" in 2004, and "Endless Journey" in 2008. The band consists of Marco Magnani (guitars and vocals), Lucie Rejchrtova (keyboards, accordion and backing vocals), Andrew Browning (bass), James Ovens (drums), and Charles Bennett (keyboards). There is a special guest appearance on the debut from Arthur Brown, a genuine legend in his own right. It is a multi-national band as Marco Magnani comes from Bologna, Italy, Lucie Rejchrtova is from Czech Republic, and other members hail from London.
Instant Flight began when Marco played solo sets in London clubs in 1997, and then in 1999 was joined by 2 guitarists, a bassist and drummer. In 2001 Marco met Lucie Rejchrtova in the "Electric Orange", a psychedelic club, and the DJ was drummer James Ovens. Bassist Andrew Browning would join the lineup last and then they formed officially as Instant Flight. A licensed busker in the underground, Lucia's keyboard style comes from the school of blues, boogie-woogie, modern jazz, rock and funk. Arthur Brown was impressed with Lucia's style and the EP, so he asked if the band would play at his gigs. Later he would sing on the album "Colours & Lights", on "Kites" and "Freeway".
