PSYCHOTONIC FEST
GANGBANG IN HONGKONG (BE) Rock / Trip Hop / Psychedelic
GangBang in HongKong
GangBang in HongKong est un groupe au style résolument rock et atmosphérique. Sa musique peut être définie comme intense, énergique et langoureuse à la fois. <br><br> La formation voit le jour en juillet 2007. Dès le départ, le travail s’oriente vers la recherche d’un son collectif, original et puissant. L’envie d’être un groupe interactif et soucieux du détail s’impose naturellement. Au fil des compositions, le désir de partager avec le public un univers complet se fait sentir. Des vidéos, constituées d’images d’archive et de séquences filmées par le groupe, voient le jour. Sur scène, elles apportent une dimension supplémentaire et donnent au public des clés de compréhension pour les morceaux. <br><br> En mars 2008, GangBang in HongKong enregistre une première démo trois titres et entame une série de concerts. Moins d’un an plus tard, en janvier 2009, le groupe remporte le tremplin rock organisé par le Club Promotion Music de Membach. <br><br> Fin mars 2009, un Ep est enregistré au Sucellos Studio d’Aachen. S’en suit une dizaine de concerts (L’Escalier, Carlo Levi, Péniche Fulmar, Grand Place de Mons, Mad Café, Â…). <br><br> En novembre 2009, GangBang in HongKong participe au concours Pure Démo (saison 5) et termine lauréat de la 9ème semaine ... <br><br>
Kube

Hailing from the centre of Europe, Kube was born on a gloomy night of the year 1997 in Brussels-Belgium.

They made several demo's and a lot of gig's in their area and had several line-up changes around their hard core composed of JF on Drums, Deck on Bass and Vince on guitars and vocals.

Their common influences were and still are: Kyuss, motorpsycho, black Sabbath, the Melvins, QOTSA In 2003, they decided to play their stoner-punky-wave music as a trio and develop their own style and universe : twisted love, vicious humour, contained hatred and outrageous violence are their favourite themes. Meet up with a paedophiliac priest, a toxic whore, a pervert truckdriver and a corrupted president on an ocean of sound which will blast your balls off !!!

After another bunch of gig's with band's like Hulk and Ufomammuth they recorded and mixed their first album "Stockholm Syndrom" at the Indie-R studio (Hulk, Yel, Bai kamara Jr). Kubes Stockholm Syndrom is the first release on the Buzzville Records imprint BuzzTown Productions, focusing on new & promising rock/metal acts from the Benelux area.

On stage, Kube will offer you an intense experiment with their mix of atmospheres and grooves. They sure like to surprise the audience with different sets depending on the venues mood.

COSMIC TRIP MACHINE (BE) Psychedelic / Experimental / Folk
Cosmic Trip Machine
Cosmic Trip Machine is a moving entity, constantly evolving, psychedelic, heavy, experimental and folk. <br><br> Beginning <br><br> February 2008, Cosmic Trip Machine, named in tribute to 60’s and 70’s records, started by recording one album, shortly after Will Z. and Majnun first group split (with angry quarrels and strong divergence in opinion). The two friends collected materials for an opus called Lord Space Devil, a never-completed project started in December 2000 (unreleased songs, instrumentals, experimental and conceptual ideas). Lord Space Devil <br><br> In studio, Cosmic Trip Machine discovered musical freedom and were addicted immediately. The result is Lord Space Devil, a psychedelic concept album with songs that release themselves of any constraints and explore differing sonic boundaries (odd instruments, studio effects, imaginative rock inspired by indian music and B-movies). <br><br> Few months later, Lord Space Devil was downloaded more than 2500 times from the official website, http://cosmictripmachine.be, by mere word of mouth and recommendations from websites and magazines. Cosmic Trip Machine worked on an electric live show melting instrumentals and new versions from Lord Space Devil songs. <br><br> Vampyros Roussos <br><br> In March 2009, Cosmic Trip Machine recorded Vampyros Roussos, an imaginary 70’s psychedelic erotic horror soundtrack and rock opera inspired by Vampyros Lesbos, Psych-Out, Beyond the Valley of Dolls, Suspiria, Carnival of Souls, The Holy Mountain and many more. The band played during Sloowjob Festival with Embryo and Peter Walker. <br><br> In June, a first extract from Vampyros Roussos, (Not) Very High, is compiled on Trip inside this house : Summer Solstice 2009, with psychedelic UK, sweden and USA bands. During summer, Cosmic Trip Machine played at psychedelic Yellowstock festival in Geel, 40 years after Woodstock.
