********************************************

24th, 25th, 26th April 2014 : DESERTFEST BERLIN 

********************************************

The last announcements in case you missed them are: 

THE MACHINE (NL) 

Evolving from the roots of modern stoner rock, their music features powerful hard-hitting rock, a fair dose of retro psych, acid-blues jamming and more experimental approach. Their very own sound is a compromise between organic and groovy drumming, inventive low end pounding and a punishing wall of guitar with some old school lead work.

RED STONER SUN (GER) 

Berlin-based band playing a skilled blend of experimental outtaspace desert-rock and good old heavy dirty blues.

SIENA ROOT (SWE) 

well known for its unique spectra of appearances, its broad musical range and its different nterpretations of rock music. It's a constant transforming group, ranging from acoustic sitar to distorted hurdy gurdy.

CHURCH OF MISERY (JP)

With a very distinctive doom-gloom-bizarre sound enhanced by the influence of early 70s music like Black Sabbath and by their serial killer lyrics.

FULL Line-up: 

THURSDAY 24th - SPIRIT CARAVAN headlining (Reunion Show) - Sleepy Sun - Pet The Preacher (Album Release Show) - ASG - The Midnight Ghost Train - Cojones - Siena root.
-----
FRIDAY 25th – KVELERTAK headlining - Causa Sui (Exclusive Show) – Church of Misery - Elder - Huata - Hull - Gozu - Black Rainbows - Prisma Circus - The Moth - Red Stoner Sun.

SASQUATCH

After Ed Mundell decision to quit the Monster Magnet gang, most were saddened and worried such talent would not be exposed anymore.. This was countless of the high energy, creativity and Ed's genius! Joined by Collin Mc Coy (Bass Guitar) and Rick Ferrante (Drums), the trio has composed heavy spaced out power rock, lightened by instrumental psychedelic touches... and this is Bloody awesome !!!

All the way they will share stages with mates from SASQUATCH (US) who's drawing on influences from 70's metal, rock, and psychedelia.

SASQUATCH: New album "IV" will be released on Small Stone Recordings, September 24th

After bursting onto the stoner rock scene with, not one, but two, closely packed studio albums (conveniently named Sasquatch I and II) in 2004 and ’06, the power trio went subterranean until 2010 before resurfacing with a new lineup and propulsive third opus (entitled, you guessed it, III), to the relief of many impatient fans and the Small Stone Records Board of Directors.

More importantly though, this career-establishing trilogy managed to seduce consumers and critics: beginning with the debut’s roaring-down-the-highway riffs, hypnotic grooves and occasional forays into southern rock; continuing with the sophomore LP’s increasingly focused, hook-laden hard rock classicism (standout “Barrel of a Gun” lacked only payola to become a massive radio hit); and culminating in the third album’s heightened states of fuzz-distortion and earth-rumbling power chords, capable of reducing Marshall stacks to so much plastic pudding.

All the while, Sasquatch steadily brought their advanced heavy rock ‘theories’ to the people, as they demolished stages across the globe alongside the likes of Blue Cheer, Nebula, Unida, Solace and Fatso Jetson, to name but a few. Most recently, the band was sighted marauding across Europe with Small Stone label mates Roadsaw & DixieWitch.



Now the time has finally come for Sasquatch members Keith Gibbs (guitar, vox), Jason Casanova (bass) and Rick Ferrante (drums) to deliver a brand-spanking new album, whose chosen title – IV – was as inevitable as the urgent need shared by discerning fans of superior, song-oriented rock to HEAR IT – and pronto!

What you will hear is arguably the power trio’s most mature, inspired and diverse song-set to date, rife with compositional twists, both heartwarmingly familiar and totally unexpected, plus thundering power chords, sizzling solos, shrewd melodic flights and even super-trippy moments – but all of it heavy on the heavy, as they say…always.

To top it off, Sasquatch have upped their game where the lyrics are concerned, devoting unprecedented attention to spinning engaging new yarns out of those evergreen rock and roll stories about love lost, hate found, relationships built and lives trashed, homes wrecked, etc. All’s fair in love and doom.

SASQUATCH - "IV" tracklisting:

1 ) THE MES SAGE
2 ) EYE OF THE STORM
3 ) SWEET LADY
4 ) MONEY
5 ) SMOKE S IGNAL
6 ) WOLVES AT MY DOOR
7 ) ME AND YOU
8 ) CORNER
9 ) DRAWING FLIES

SASQUATCH is:

Keith Gibbs: guitar, vox
Rick Ferrante: drums, percussion
Jason Casanova: bass, filing, red tape
