Vocalist Marka Rybin has a vocal range and power that keeps the crowd entranced. Guitarist Santa Morella will frankly blow you away with her skill and ring true the phrase "never judge a book by its cover". Drummer Misha Cortez is the beat behind the band and plays tight, fast and powerful. Josh Stewart is the bass man from down under with funky licks and heavy riffs.
Gaia Mesiah is one of the Czech Republic's best acts and plays original music that can be filed in the category of heavy rock/funk/reggae and a little bit of something else.

Journey to Ixcatlan
Gaia Mesiah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No luck no money I feel like to go away
I feel like to go away so fucking far away
Passing by faces and nobody talks to me
Are they just shadows I'm a shadow for them too
I'm shadow for them too
So strange and damned and poor
Wijowijowijoooo!
But one day you were asking
And nothing was so cruel
Such nice day, you were shouting
I'm fed up with the rule
Find the freedom, lost the boredom,
I'm able to be cruel
Alone
Just the little understanding
It's my journey to Ixtlan
I'm coming now I'm coming now
The lyrics of Gaia Mesiah's song Journey to Ixcatlan expresses the feeling of being disconnected from society and the desire to escape from it. The first two lines capture the discontentment with one's current situation- the long winter and seemingly distant summer, with no luck or money. The singer expresses the urge to leave everything behind and go as far away as possible, possibly because she feels like a shadow among people and nobody talks to her. She feels strange, damned and poor, which further isolates her from society.
However, there is a glimmer of hope in the lyrics, which comes in the form of a person who understands her. Someone who is not cruel and shouts about the need to find freedom and escape boredom. This person has given her the understanding she needs to embark on her journey to Ixcatlan. The reference to Ixcatlan is metaphorical, and it means finding oneself and being free from the shackles of society. The lyrics, "just the little understanding, it's my journey to Ixcatlan," suggest that it only takes a little bit of understanding to embark on the journey to find oneself.
