Steve Linnegar was a multifaceted artist — songwriter, musician, painter, and martial arts disciple — and a legendary figure from the South African underground music scene of the 1960s and 70s. Known as the "hippie king of Cape Town," Linnegar led Snakeshed through a distinctive sound rooted in soft psychedelic rock, with dreamy melodies and pastoral textures that set the band apart from their contemporaries. Classic Epics, released on the Guerssen label in 2014, brings this remarkable body of work to light for a new generation of listeners.
What makes this release particularly compelling is the included insert featuring rare photos and liner notes by the Acid Archives, offering valuable context and insight into Linnegar's world and the underground scene he helped shape. The music itself spans evocative, atmospheric tracks that reflect Linnegar's wide-ranging artistic vision, blending rock sensibilities with a deeply personal and eclectic touch. For fans of obscure psychedelic rock and South African music history, Classic Epics is a fascinating and rewarding listen.
