Line up
Egoz
A four-piece rock group from Cairo, Egypt formed in 2004.For almost a decade Egoz
have been asserting their influence on the Egyptian rock scene the best way they know:
creating a few original tracks that explain the band's diversity and roots, and then dishing
them out as one of the country's strongest acts. Throughout a long tiring journey of
rehearsing, working on new songs & recording songs the band gathered a collection of
10 songs which got the band’s debut LP released in April 2012 under the name of
“Temple of Small Things” & currently they’re preparing for their forthcoming record to be
released.
2. Invisible Hands

recorded in Cairo in May 2012, and two versions were released, one in Arabic and
another in English, with both on a limited edition double LP. Their second album, Teslam,
