Progressive hard-psych milestone from Australia, 1971, with fantastic twin guitar interplay and cool West Coast vibe.

Formed in Sydney, Kahvas Jute were a short-lived but much-admired Aussie hard-rock band from the early 70s with connections to local legends Mecca and Tamam Shud.

They featured ace guitar players Tim Gaze and Dennis Wilson plus future international rock legend Bob Daisley (Ozzy, Rainbow, Gary Moore…) on bass and Dannie Davidson on drums.

Originally released in 1971 on the Festival sub-label Infinity, “Wide Open” has become one of the most sought-after Australian rock albums of the era and is without doubt a lost gem of Aussie progressive hard rock.
