Hello, my name is Shawn Bowen, I was formerly guitarist for the band "Neurotica", we were fortunate enough to sign record deals and tour, even got to do Ozzfest in 2002 and were called "One of the 10 best of Ozzfest 2002" in Rolling Stone magazine. I mean, we were tenth, but hey, juss sayinnn...
After Neurotica disbanded I opened a little music store specializing in ethnic instruments from all over, and of course had to try to learn how to play everything in my store, the result is this new project "World Collision". It is just that, a collision of sounds from all over the world fused together by a musician with roots in Sabbath and Zeppelin.
