Desertfest Athens 2017: Black Rainbows & Mos Generator Added to Lineup

desertfest athens 2017

An already formidable bill for Desertfest Athens 2017 only becomes more so with the additions of Italian heavy psych mavens Black Rainbows and US-based heavy rock purveyors Mos Generator. The two acts join the ranks of headliners Graveyard and Saint Vitus, as well as native Greek acts like Planet of ZeusMahakalaBusSadhusPuta VolcanoAllchiria and Krause, who along with stalwarts Orange GoblinChurch of MiseryStoned Jesus and Colour Haze will comprise the two-day event at Iera Odos early in October. More bands are reportedly still to be announced, so stick around.

In the meantime, Black Rainbows and Mos Generator would seem to have plenty in common at this point. Both have issued new singles this year — the former’s “The Red Sky Above” (posted here) landed as part of a Heavy Psych Sounds compilation, and the latter’s “The Dance of Red” (posted here) combining Mahavishnu Orchestra and King Crimson — and both have spent much of the last couple years banging out as many records and as many tours as possible. To wit, Mos Generator may or may not have a new full-length in the can that’s set for an early-2018 release, and though Black Rainbows frontman Gabriele Fiori is currently at work on the second LP from his offshoot project Killer Boogie, he’s been known to multitask before, and thankfully a new Black Rainbows release is never too far off. Again, stick around.

You might recall as well that Mos Generator‘s appearance at Desertfest Athens 2017 was hinted at when it was confirmed they’d support Saint Vitus‘ upcoming European tour (dates here). Nice to know for sure, either way. Announcement from the fest follows here:
