Heavy Psych Sounds Fest Vol. II Dates Announced
Given the swath of acts that Italian imprint Heavy Psych Sounds has picked up and/or released in the course of the last year — from Throneless most recently on back through Sgt. Sunshine, Isaak, Mos Generator, Wedge, Ape Skull, My Home on Trees, Ape Machine, Old Man Lizard, Farflung, Fatso Jetson, Cosmic Wheels, and so on — and the likewise cross-section of those with whom the booking arm of the imprint works — many of the above, as well as Karma to Burn, Wild Eyes, The Wisdoom and others — it’s open pretty wide as to just who might show up at the label’s Heavy Psych Sounds Fest Vol. II this December. Of course, we’ll know before the end of the year gets here I’m sure, but the point is it’s worth keeping an eye out.
It seems likely that either Killer Boogie or Black Rainbows will be on the bill. Both bands feature guitarist/vocalist Gabriele Fiori, who’s also the mastermind behind Heavy Psych Sounds, and an appearance from either or both would be valid, the former a new side-project that released its debut album, Detroit (review here), earlier this year while Black Rainbows, who are the staple act of the label, issued their fourth full-length, Hawkdope (review here), just a short time later in March. And in fact, with two days, there’s room for both among the stated eight-group intention of Heavy Psych Sounds Fest Vol. II, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see who’s included and who isn’t.
Either way, Fiori should have no trouble filling out that lineup. The brief, save-the-date-style announcement follows:
