Wine Lips / The Bug Club / Dreamwave

Headfirst Editor's Pick

"The final night of Down Stokes’ psychedelic trip is unmissable for the melted garage rock uber-faithful. Featuring the careening, runaway-train rock of Wine Lips, the bammy, notebook-doodle hammock humour of The Bug Club, and Dreamwave’s shimmering psych-pop hallucinations."
