Bearstronaut’s are Landing at SXSW

Bearstronaut
Bearstronaut set to play SXSW March 2014

Whether on stage or on record, the Boston-based electronic-pop quartet has made a name in their hometown for sparking instant dance parties. Despite their Northeast origins, Bearstronaut has been dubbed “tank-top pop” due to their warm, tropical synth-pop sound – or as Interview Magazine put it, “a nimble sprint through tropical rhythms and beach-side dance party revelry.”

Bearstronaut recently performed the highly anticipated Boston Calling Music Festival alongside Solange, Kendrick Lamar, and Vampire Weekend.  They have also shared the stage with acts such as Passion Pit, fun., A-Trak, Bad Rabbits, St. Lucia, Body Language, the Shout Out Louds, Surfer Blood and Divine Fits.  Be sure to catch Bearstronaut at their SXSW performance in Austin!

DATE: Saturday March 8, 2014
TIME: 1-3PM
VENUE: Maggie Mae’s @ The Roof Top

I LOVE this group!! I love the hard driving bass and the electrifying techno they put on top was like the icing on the cake! I was immediately into their songs from the beginning and kept my attention the whole time. Their lyrics are awesome and I really like the retro feel to their music. The only thing I didn’t like was not getting to listen to this group sooner!

Electric Eye set to Play at SXSW

Electric Eye
Psych rockers Electric Eye band to watch for at Eurosonic and SXSW 2014

January 2014
Psych rock band Electric Eye from Norway set to play SXSW 2014

Hailing from Bergen, Norway, Electric Eye play droned out psych-rock inspired by the blues, India and the ever more expanding universe.

The four piece released their long awaited debut LP “Pick-up, Lift-off, Space, Time” in April 2013. The album received positive mentions in Norwegian media, which have spread to international blogs and radio stations. The album was a co-released in the US and the UK by Norway’s Klangkollektivet and London based Fuzz Club Records.

Throughout the fall of 2013, Electric Eye toured Scandinavia and Europe and were given rave reviews for their performance at Iceland Airwaves in Reykjavik.  The group continued on to headline the Oslo Psych Fest and were featured on the compilation LP released by Fuzz Club and Austin psych fest called “The reverb conspiracy vol.2”. 
Highly recommended to fans of The Black Angels, Secret Machines and Spacemen 3.

 

Electric Eye will play Eurosonic Noorderslag on January 16th.  Be sure to catch the Norweigan psych rockers as they make their debut SXSW appearence in Austin this March!

“This four piece are all about long jams and pushing their rack of pedals to the limit. The bassline starts and weaves a hypnotic trance like rhythm while layers of otherworldly sounds are added resulting in one hell of a racket. I knew this band would be good having checked out their sounds on the internet before leaving home but I didn’t know they would be this good. Fantastic!”
-Emmett Mullaney, louderthanwar.com

“This is by far my favourite record of the week and Electric Eye is strongly becoming my new favourite band, I would highly recommend this to fans of the likes of Hookworms, Follakzoid or any other Sacred Bones stuff, absolutely marvelous!”
-Norman Records, Leeds, UK
