About this Event
A night of psychedelic sounds and airwave contotions conducted by some of the finest sonic wizards in the land...
*** ULYSSES ****
Praised in major publications from The Guardian to Shindig! and Classic Rock Magazine, Bath’s rock upstarts Ulysses deliver quirky pop delights and to die for big riffs with what is fast becoming Ulysses’ own distinct sound – a nether land between psych, glam and rock, guitar stroking and pop sheen.
Having toured with Rival Sons, Purson and members of The Black Crowes and currently making a new album with producer Steve Evans (Robert Plant / Siouxsie / Goldfrapp) due out early 2016, it seems that Ulysses have unknowingly brought their cheeky influences (Syd Barrett, psych-era Stones, The Cars, Thin Lizzy, Hot Chocolate, Supergrass, Sailor, Alvin Stardust and Paul McCartney & Wings) to the heart of the new rock elite.

*** MAGIC BUS ***
To be released on their own 'Back to the Garden Records' on May 1st….. Magic Bus's third album 'Phillip the Egg'.
Recorded over 9 days at Vale studios in Worcestershire, the band are spacebound in their silver jetpacks, determined to find Utopia. Writing songs with the Canterbury/west coast vibe they are known for, but with the added influence of vintage prog clearly coming to the fore.
2014's 'Transmission from Sogmore's garden', received great reviews and airplay around the world. They have been played on BBC 6 music and BBC introducing and featured in Shindig, Prog, Record collector and many other publications.
Recently they've been inducted into the prestigious Prog Archives and their music features in 'Going Furthur' a new film about the 50th anniversary of Ken Kesey's bus trip across America.
"Made by Wizards I reckon!" - Tom Ravenscroft - BBC6 Music.
"Love it, love it, love it!" - James Santer - BBC introducing.

*** JUPITER'S CARNIVAL ***
Jupiters Carnival claim to be from Bristol, but they sound more like they just woke up in laurel canyon after partying on Mars. They blend stomping hard rock with blues, funk, soul and loopy psychedelia into a head-spinning collage of sound' - Classic Rock Magazine.
‘Recorded in Bristol with Jim Barr (Portishead) this may well appeal to those who wish that the last 40 years were just a bad dream. The lazy ‘Smokestack lightning’ intro to ‘Waiting For The Day’ ushers in a soulful and convincing take on Coverdale-era deep Purple and that bluesy underbelly is visible again in the eastern-tinged psych-rocker, ‘The Sun Still Shines’. A funky mid-section pulls us ever further westwards until by the time we get to the Booker T-steeped ‘Come Home’ we are slap bang in land-locked USA and about as far away from the English west country as you can get. The strut of ‘See The Fire’ presages the closing ‘Within Your Mind’, which might as well be Sly Stone and Lowell George jamming with the Allmans. With great vocals and superb musicianship and arrangements , what reason is there not to do the time warp again?’ - Shindig Magazine.
