Jeremy Irons and the Ratgang Malibus Added to Freak Valley 2016
Another day, another killer band joining the lineup for Freak Valley 2016. We’re still a long ways off from May, and while I can’t help but wonder how much more the German festival has to add at this point, the truth is there are a million and a half bands and just about any of them are well within the scope of the three-dayer, set for May 26-28 at AWO in Netphen. I’ve done my best to keep up with the lineup updates — I’ve had to combine a few, but to my knowledge I haven’t missed one — and just days after putting Orange Goblin near the top of the bill, Jens Heide and company have added trippy Swedish purveyors Jeremy Irons and the Ratgang Malibus.
The band was last heard from touring South America late in 2015, still supporting their 2014 sophomore album, Spirit Knife (review here), which was released by Small Stone. That run followed more than one through Europe, and while they’ve stated that most of this year will be spent writing and recording their next LP, they also recently confirmed they’ll play Poland’s Red Smoke festival in July, so they’re still getting out a bit as well.
Freak Valley had this to say on the subject:
Stockholm heavy psych rockers JEREMY IRONS & THE RATGANG MALIBUS confirmed to play FREAK VALLEY FESTIVAL 2016!!
Jeremy Irons & the Ratgang Malibus, is astral-progressive prairie rock with authentic, audio-visual roots in a 1970s music landscape.
This band is the musical, northwest passage between classic rock and the unholy spirit of Pink Floyd.
It’s like finding an interstellar sound portal to a hidden space desert, that only can be seen and heard through a kaleidoscope, which is blessed by a spiritual shaman from Saturn.
