Naxatras is a hard psychedelic rock band from Greece. They play a warm psychedelia full of fat grooves, dreamy melodies, heavy riffs and trippy guitar solos all with the vintage touch of the 70's.
They have been playing since 2012, developing their sound and finally recorded their first full-length album in a 100% analog way at Magnetic Fidelity (a studio in rural northern Greece) with Jesus Agnew, an engineer experienced in the field of analog and DIY recordings. Only analog equipment was used in the recording-mixing-mastering stages of the album. All the songs in the record were performed entirely live during just one day. In 2016 they released their second full length album "II" as well as an EP, once more fully analog and live.
The band does high-energy live performances combining elements of psychedelic/progressive rock, stoner, funk, jazz and eastern music with a trippy video wall to accomplish full stimulation of the senses.
A 3 piece power trio who came to light in late 2014. Based in and around East London, they soon realized their mix of Eastern/Arabic/Psych and Stoner Fuzz made their live shows colourful amongst the harsh grey landscapes which surrounded them. Live shows are proving to be their acid test where warm fuzz, swirling phasers and time-shifting delay have seen them gig extensively around UK.
2 London guys and an islander in a hot tub. Formed in 2014 by Rich and Reno with Charlie from Beggar on bass, they play all the bars London has to offer for a little while.
After releasing anonymously their first, pretty sludgy EP recorded with Gomez at Orgone Studios (Angel Witch, Cathedral, Ghost) they went on to sharing the stage the following year with Vodun, Reign of Fury, Chubby Thunderous Bad Kush Masters, Trevor's Head, Shitwife, Blondi's Salvation, Is Bliss, Dusty Mush and Blown Out, which shaped their sound into a more singular jam flavoured psychedelic heavy rock.
Their second EP, expected this September and recorded with Wayne Adams at Bear Bites Horse (Shitwife, Vodun, Luminous Bodies) shows an attempt to balance between the colourfulness of fuzz/psychedelia and the weight of 90's heavy rock, with a stop through the slimey territories of 70's funk amongst others, without falling for the retro trend that is so frequent with today's heavy rock. Technicolour I tell ya.
What now? Well come on come on down SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE!
