"From an aesthetic point of view, psychedelic art must be defined as that art which deliberately attempts to re-create, introduce, stimulate or convey the nature or essence of the psychedelic experience. Unless psychedelic art is defined as the conscious expression of the psychedelic experience, "anything presented as a work of art that inspires the mind, emotions and sense with even a glimpse of the total awareness of conscious being could be termed psychedelic art", according to Jud Yalkut, writing in Arts magazine. Which is to say that all art then becomes psychedelic; or that the term is lost to the semantic chaos that already hovers over much of modern art." |
For more than forty years psychedelia has been putting its stamp on guitar music. The genre underwent an incredible expansion, and it's not only the trip-loving animal hippies that are responsible for that. Psychedelia has become a conception that is wide spread and has many different meanings. Throughout the years it has been able to keep on reinventing itself, with a wide range of subgenres as a result. It is quite astonishing how the US remains the most productive and innovative country when it comes to psych rock. The west-coast psychedelia with its flowering San Francisco scene, but also everything that happened around the Fillmore East in New York, are up until today popular subjects in music literature. The free fought blues and boogie rock that flourished in the second half of the sixties still has its influence today. Scorching fuzz, never ending solos and spaced out jams still are some of the favourite ingredients of many contemporary psych bands. Apart from the US it's mostly Japan that created a characteristic tradition in the last thirty years. With influences from the different psychedelic eras mixed with a typical Japanese approach, the country became a favourite of many music freaks and acid heads. Wild Tyme Acid Rhyme presents you a tiny bit of each. | ||||

HOWLIN RAIN [us]It didn't take Ethan Miller, foreman of the recently split Comets On Fire, very long to impress with his new band Howlin Rain. For their third album they were signed by Rick Rubin, who will produce and of course release it on Columbia. Howlin Rain just returned from an American tour with Queens of the Stone Age and now come to Europe once more before they are a really big deal. Expect freewheeling rock, Neil Young & The Crazy Horse, The Band, CCR and Jimi Hendrix. |

ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE [jp]If we were to name one combo that put Japanese psych rock on the map, it would be Acid Mothers Temple. With loads of releases on different labels, a fully booked tour schedule throughout the year, some thirty side projects and a real cult following, the band is in its way to become a new Japanese version of The Grateful Dead. They are touring through Europe as Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paradise U.F.O. on their "Acid Motherly Love Tour". In Belgium they are playing exclusively at the Pauze festival. Expect a full Acid Mothers band with far out vocals and a good bunch of fuzz solo's and other psychedelic goodies. |

SIC ALPS [us]Sic Alps is a duo from the new Bay Area scene. Their psychedelic garage music harks back to both the sound of the late sixties as well as to the raw lo-fi sound of the nineties. The band has only just begun to record and perform, but is already being praised as an extremely exciting live band. Their debut album was voted third by Byron Coley and Thurston Moore in their 2006 list for Bull Tongue. Needless to say this band is going to explode within a certain time period. Hopefully they will on the Pauze festival stage. |

SOFT CIRCLE [us]More or less the misfit this evening is Soft Circle. Hisham Bharoocha used to be the drummer of Black Dice and one third of Lightning Bolt. Now he's doing it all alone. Bharoosha is a one man band. His music breaths a lifestyle that is close to new age, meditation and natural powers. Often you can hear old krautrock demons, reverb drenched vocals and natural electronic pulse. If Animal Collective, Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Temple would unify in one person, it would be called Soft Circle, the psychedelic neo-buddhist. |
