Hypnotikon: Seattle Psych Fest - this weekend!
 |
| Facebook | Tickets |
Hypnotikon is a two-day festival on Friday and Saturday, October 11 and 12th, 2013 at the Triple Door in Seattle, showcasing psychedelic rock.
Hypnotikon spotlights a kaleidoscopic range of American psychedelic music—blissful drones, mantric krautrock, raw-nerved garage rock, ethereal boogie, spacey epics, mystical heaviness, etc.—set in one of Seattle’s most lavish venues. The fest climaxes with analog-synth pioneers Silver Apples, whose two late-’60s albums still radiate timeless melodic and rhythmic brilliance. Graphic-art provocateurs Christian Petersen (I Want You) and Aubrey Nehring (Portable Shrines) provide retina-ravishing visuals.
Friday:
Main Theater: Cave, Lumerians, Midday Veil, Fungal Abyss
Musicquarium Lounge: Tokyoidaho, Ecstatic Cosmic Union
Saturday:
Main Theater: Silver Apples, Cloudland Canyon, Night Beats, Jetman Jet Team
Musicquarium Lounge: Brain Fruit, Karnak Temples
Both nights:
DJs: Explorateur, Veins, Skyler, Mamma Casserole, Self-Administered Beatdown
Visuals: Christian Petersen, Aubrey Nehring
As a preview to the sounds to come, here is the full live set Silver Apples played at the Silver Grapes Music Festival I produced last September in Bordeaux, France:

Something from 432 Suydam
Here's another edition from the Midday Veil Tour Mixtape Series - a mixtape circa 2003 from Brooklyn on the eve of the band's arrival in NYC. Be sure to catch them Sunday at Silent Barn, and Monday at Cake Shop.

Midday Veil Tour - Mixtape Series
Seattle band Midday Veil embark on a nationwide tour today that takes them to SXSW, LA Psych Fest, and many other fine venues across the country. A call was put out to their friends and neighbors for mixtapes to drive to in their tour van which is equipped with a cassette player, and having boxes upon boxes of old cassettes, dj slow gladly provided a melange of tapes from years gone by.
I'll be posting a tape here every few days or so, and to keep it interesting I'm leaving off track lists as the band is listening blind, and to be honest, I don't know them all myself.
Hope you enjoy the ride, and be sure to catch Midday Veil's powerful live show in a city near you.

Midday Veil - US Tour and New Album
Midday Veil start a nationwide tour tomorrow. Their new record is called The Current. I was lucky to get a copy early in exchange for providing some old mixtapes for their tour van which is equipped with a cassette player. Stay tuned for more on the tapes they'll be touring to.
