2009 Edition of 1972-1975-1980 Tapes
After three years and three albums delivering electrifying riffs as part of
cult progrock trio Human Instinct, Billy T.K was ready to explore more
melodic themes. Powerhouse experimented with Latin-tinged blues and funk
rhythms with lush layers of vocal harmonies, brass and percussion all woven
together with Billy's relentless but unmistakeable riffs and extended
solos. Like so much of New Zealand's early recorded history it was feared
the debut album from Billy T.K & Powerhouse had been lost forever, or worse
taped over, leaving little recorded evidence of this influential
guitar-driven rhythmic big band.This CD compilation of the lost Move On Up
album recorded at EMI studios in 1972, with selections form the live
concert at Wellington's St James Theatre in 1975 and a single recorded with
session musicians in Hollywood in 1980, delivers a solid overview of
post-Human Instinct Billy T.K. for the first time.

Billy T K has been wooing NZ audiences since the 60s with bands such as The
Sinners, Human Instinct & Powerhouse.
1996 saw him on stage in Auckland playing with Carlos Santana. 2002 he was
a headliner at WOMAD. These days he performs regular gigs around NZ with
such artists as Billy T K Junior and Emma Paki.
2004 saw the release of his first CD of collected works spanning 30 years
and includes Powerhouse tracks with Tony Littlejohn and Mahia Blackmore,
studio tracks from the 80s & 90s and a track from movie about Indian
mystics which Billy laid down some music for.
His music still reflects his early influences of Hendrix, Santana &
McLaughlin and every time he plays the young people are gobsmacked and the
oldies relive the past.

Billy T.K.'s Powerhouse - Life Beyond The Material Sky (1975 new zealand
psychedelic rock with great guitars - vinyl rip - flac)
Posted: 05 Nov 2015 05:17 AM PST
http://silveradoraremusic.blogspot.com/2012/05/billy-tks-powerhouse-life-beyond.html
From the vinyl collection of my friend Cipcal , many thanks to him ...
Billy Te Kahika (Billy T K) left Human Instinct after their 1972 tour of
Australia and shortly after began recruiting for his own unit to play more
fluid, rhythmic music. He convinced former Blackfeather drummer Steve Webb
to come out from Australia and along second guitarist John Bilderbeck from
Wanganui and Gav Collinge on bass created Powerhouse.
Initially the band worked in Wellington where at Ali Baba’s and Lucifer’s
nightclubs then with only Collinge remaining from the original line-up a
new unit was pulled together back in Palmerston North where Billy and
promoter Murray Taylor started their own nightclub called the Boulevarde.
The new Powerhouse featured Billy on guitar, Gav on bass, Ara Mete on
rhythm guitar, Jamie Tait-Jamieson on keyboards, Bud Hooper (later Neal
Storey [Dragon] and Peter Kellington) on drums, Arnold Tihema on congas and
lead vocals and Mahia Blackmore on vocals and percussion. Powerhouse
remained in that residency about 18 months playing their own brand of
contemporary South Pacific rhythms with strong Santana influences.
Tracks :
01 Heaven's Melody (12:54)
02 Beyond The Material Sky (5:49)
03 Guru Deva (9:03)
04 Race Into The Infinite (10:37)
05 Secret Of Life (11:49)
06 City Of Things (3:57)
07 Love Love (13:17)
08 Funky Trucking (5:26)
