Zakarrias

Band name and alias of singer/musician Bobby Haumer from Vienna, Austria. Failing to make a mark locally, Bobby went to London in 1970 and gathered a new band featuring guitarist Huw Lloyd-Langton (from Hawkwind) and drummer John Lingwood, later to join Steamhammer and Manfred Mann's Earth Band. The album they made is a mixture of folk rock and heavy psychedelic with some prog elements. It went largely unnoticed at the time, but has since become a collectable rarity.
