“A Detroit, USA based neo-psychedelic glam rock band which has recently self-recorded, produced, and mixed an 8 song LP. This 8 song LP “Sisters of Your Sunshine Vapor” incorporates spacey fuzz rock, cavernous reverb, haunting vocals, and a strong drum and bass backbone to lock it all together. The band draws on such influences as Spacemen 3, BRMC, T-Rex, and Joy Division.”

A tasty psych blend of 1970s German psychedelia (Harmonia), the nebulous but sharp electronic music from the ‘80s showed by Gary Numan and the Chilean psych-folk roots founded on Los Jaivas and Inti Illimani.

http://www.last.fm/music/The+Brian+Jonestown+Massacre wrote:The Brian Jonestown Massacre was formed in San Francisco in 1990. The band has had over 40 members since then, but its driving force and main songwriter is Anton Newcombe. Other prominent members have included Matt Hollywood, Dean Taylor, Jeff Davies, Brian Glaze, and Joel Gion. Their sound is heavily influenced by the psychedelic sounds of the 1960s, but also carries influences from shoegaze, jangle pop, garage rock, and lo-fi genres.

http://blueangellounge.com/ wrote:The Blue Angel Lounge formed in 2006, led by singer Nils “O.” Ottensmeyer and Dennis Melster.
They took their name from the club in New York City that in the 1960’s offered Nico (Velvet Underground) her first live performances in America. Nico would remain an underlying influence on the band.
Initially a 6 piece darkly psychedelic outfit, with their second LP “Narcotica” (8MM Musik 2010), they began subtly introducing post-punk elements to their melodic songwriting, and the intensity of Nils O’s vocal began to come to the forefront.
Strangers to the mainstream, but revered by a steadily expanding fanbase around the world, the band have earned the respect of other groups such as Interpol, The Dandy Warhols, and A Place To Bury Strangers and been invited to support them on tour.

Είναι τόσο συμπαγής και ανεπιτήδευτος όσο ένα ντύσιμο t-shirt / τζιν / all-star. Χωρίς πειραματισμούς και crossovers, το group παραδίδει μια λιγότερο σκοτεινή (αλλά εξίσου περιπετειώδη) εκδοχή των Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-lovetones-mn0002893302/biography wrote:Drawing inspiration from late-'60s psychedelia and mid-'90s pop underground acts like Matthew Sweet, Australia's Lovetones formed in the early 2000s with Matthew J. Tow, Matthew Sigley, Serge Luca, and Chris Cobb. Having generated a considerable buzz with their 2002 Bomp debut, Be What You Want, the band went on to tour and eventually collaborate with the Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Together with guitarists Helgi Petursson and Einar Kristjansson, maraca player Siggi Shaker, bassist Toggi Guðmundsson, and drummer Bjarni Johannsson, Bjornsson fleshed out his glowering, gritty songs, which drew inspiration from the Velvet Underground and the shadowy post-punk of Suicide, as well as latter-day groups like the Jesus & Mary Chain and the Brian Jonestown Massacre

http://www.last.fm/music/Verma?ac=verma wrote:Bent equally on bristling psychedelic squall and driving motorik, Verma constructs and explores cinematic sonic landscapes. Verma is amoebic in nature, coexisting with the mechanical. The driving rhythm section creates a solid architecture for swirling guitars and haunting vocal melodies, all beneath a haze of sweeping synthesizers. This repetitive dervish of sound rises from dark roots to a meditative plane, at once the atmosphere of metamorphosis and cerebral introspection.
