Roll my eyes, to the back of my mind, for its psychedelic visions, I seek to find!
Extra Terrestrial Promotions presents 005. Featuring Cosmic, riff-induced Psychedelia, destructively dystopian dark psych & unashamedly savage punk rock. Household name Lamears take to the stage for a headline slot with support coming from local acts BIRDFEEDER and Hot Flab.
Lamears.
We are Lamears, a three-piece made up of stragglers and dropouts of their respective music scenes around the southwest, who have joined forces with the singular goal of finally getting a free bar tab for the night. After many decades of rambunctious strobe-flooded basement gigs and a punishing catalogue of blinding after-show benders, Kevin Edwards realised that the Scientologist 90s Alien Goth Electronic Indie scene was no longer his calling. He got on the phone to his long-time party buddy and relationship councillor Ben Edwards (no relation), who by night and day would shred his way through two packs of strings a week despite only having 9 working fingers, to try to convince him to help create something a bit rougher around the edges where there were no rules, and where he didn’t necessarily have to play to a click track or even really stay in time. Ben was all for this new and untested approach, and together with their new bud Rob on bass and vocal duties, a long-haired lothario whom they occasionally found daydreaming in the park, high and drunk in the fields, and generally moping about looking like a tortured artist, they formed Lamears. Expect to be bombarded with hefty riffs, shrieking vocals, high-impact hi-hats and whatever else you may or may not expect… These guys are here to ruffle some feathers in the Mid-70s Psychedelic Desert Surf Rock Scorpion Pterodactyl Hardcore scene… don’t you forget it… Influences include the Doors, Allah Las, Fugazi, Rage Against The Machine, Beastie Boys and Kate Bush.
BIRDFEEDER.
BIRDFEEDER are a five-piece dark psych band that take cues from bands like The Wytches and Black Sabbath, infusing their sound with elements of post-punk and noise, with influences ranging from DITZ to Siouxsie and the Banshees. Intent on delivering an unsettling yet exciting sound, BIRDFEEDER convey themselves with conviction and intent with dark, doom riffs (delivered by guitarist Tom Holman) and unusual noise techniques (courtesy of Jack Wojtowycz) paired with a powerful rhythm section featuring bassist (Ed Thompson) and drummer (Max Dunstone), along with the despairing growl of their vocalist (Lucas Richards).
Hot Flab.
Bristol grrrl punx Hot Flab bring you catchy hooks and funny lyrics about Jeremy Vine, drinking pints and pegging.
