It’s impossible to miss The Future Shape Of Sound when they step onstage. With powerhouse singer Debbralee Wells dripping with feathers and a voice to shake the heavens, backed by a chorus line of singers in stunning African dresses, the band belts out a fire-breathing sermon of rock’n’roll, gospel and blues. The mastermind behind the group is guitarist, producer and songwriter Alex McGowan, aka Captain Future, the proprietor of Space Eko East Recording Studio in East London. Armed with six strings and the truth, the Captain is calling the faithful for a baptism by music, spreading the good word one show at a time.
Your gigs feel like rock’n’roll gospel revivals. Is that the intention?
