Artist History Megelen has been through many changes since 1999. We've performed all over NC and have no plans of stopping. Currently the band is a three piece: guitar, bass, and drums. We now have a CD available. To get yours, send a request to xenophales@msn.com We are now concentrating on a new funky, retro-rock, acid jazz sound; so if you are interested in a musical journey with compassionate reflection, come and experience the musical magic of Megelen!
