Psychic Horizon



Coming from the Castle Face Records stable, you know they're going to be good. Home to Marc Riley's current favourite band - The Oh Sees - and one of his favourite new bands - Flatworms - Castleface is the go-to label for great guitar music, and these guys don't disapoint. They bring thier blend of post-punk psych guitar to Bath as a warm up for their appearance at the Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia 2017. Catch them before they head back to California for another year.



"Matt, Mark and Adam, aka Male Gaze, return quickly from the brainy roar of their previous album King Leer with their six heels hanging even further over the edge of the abyss. Good bands often pull punches but the great ones don’t and these charismatically scarred veterans of romance, gear singed from all too real firefights in the dark world of adulthood, lodge ten new slugs into your vest. Your life was spared but you’ll feel every second of the thirty five plus minutes, grateful that all you got was a bruising. Imagine what it did to them! Have you ever flung yourself out there to such a degree that you risked total humiliation if it all went south, to where the next step would be self deportation to some distant island of annihilation in your mind? How did that work out for you? Don’t worry, Male Gaze knows and they wrote some songs about it. Look out your window, down at the glittering metropolis below and listen to this album."

- Henry Rollins



Support comes from 3 local bands each bringing a different flavour of fuzzed out guitar.
