ACIDFEST LEEDS brings acclaimed Brazilian psych-rockers Bike as headliners of this mini psych fest at Wharf Chambers, featuring three bands and three solo acts that offer a diverse mix of farout sounds.
Seirén is a British-Mexican musical project originated in Manchester, currently based in Mexico and making their UK comeback this year: they mix post rock, shoegaze, Middle Eastern influences and more to create an unique sound and captivating live sets.
Thee Lucifer Sams are true visionaries, refusing to put their music on platforms such as Spotify or having social media. Their mix of semi-improvised psychedelic noise draws equally from the abstraction of Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, Lemmy’s Hawkwind and Sonic Youth noise – with no songs just a full-on psychedelic rollercoaster of sound.
The Dead Zoo are a proudly trans led, corn fed noisy post-punk band from London, making their live debut in Leeds. Always putting on an energetic live set, they are always worth watching.
Madonovan is the best shoegaze artist you’ve never heard before, and an unique concept – a tribute to itself, covering songs written, but never released, over 30 years ago. A cathartic ode to lost youth, dreams and rock’n’roll itself.
Esa Shields is a truly one-of-a-kind artist, creating melodies and sounds the likes of which never heard before or since. It’s like Brian Wilson on Mars, tripping on acid.
Dominoes is a brilliant, solo artist who’s equal parts Ivor Cutler and Syd Barrett. Rich in melody, ideas and whimsy, you are sure to enjoy his set.
ACIDFEST also features a killer, exclusive psych playlist to keep you in the mood before and after each act, as well as trippy visuals to create an unique atmosphere.It is more than just a “gig”, but a true happening. This is what the Liverpool Psychedelic Society always offers at our events: an unique experience, something that the mainstream is unable to offer, truly grassroots and open to all.
This is not about any “scene”, we just create our own culture and everyone is welcome to enjoy… so come and join the society!
