Der AStA-Arbeitsbereich für Kultur präsentiert:
Die Heavy-Rock-Achterbahn aus Athen gilt als eine der vielversprechendsten Bands des Stoner-/Psychedelic-Rock-Sounds. Das Quartett gründet seine Existenz auf kraftvollen Live-Auftritten unzähliger Clubshows sowie hochkarätiger Festivals in ganz Europa.
Formed in 2010, GODSLEEP have been working relentlessly since then, walking their way to entering the heavy rock pantheon. Having been characterized as one of the most promising bands of the heavy / psychedelic rock sound, from their very beginning, the Athenian heavy rock rollercoaster based its very existence on powerful live appearances, including participations in high profile rock festivals all around Europe, and having already toured Europe twice, for the promotion of their critically acclaimed debut album "Thousand Sons of Sleep" (Rock Freaks Records, 2015) and then later in 2018 after releasing "Coming of Age", Godsleep's sophomore full length album, as well as their most mature one, to date. Having kept their sound's core ingredients, heavy / fuzzy guitars, thick bass lines and powerful groovy drumming, Godsleep enriched their songwriting with uniquely addictive female vocals which vary from psychedelic howls and haunting melodies to throat-ripping edgy screams. Released via legendary Greek underground rock record label, The Lab Records, "Coming of Age" is already rumored to be one of the most promising rock music albums, coming from the Greek territory, for a decade now. Godsleep return with their new album “Lies to Survive”, released by “Ouga Booga and the Mighty Oug” Records in April 2023.
EAMON MCGRATH is a Windsor-based musician with a 15+ year touring history of Canada, the UK, the USA, Europe, Mexico and Japan. He has released over 25 albums, written 2 books, scored 2 feature films, and has toured the world relentlessly since 2007, cultivating an international audience and committed, loyal network of fans. His fiercely DIY approach has garnered him respect and admiration in both the indie rock and folk communities, as he effortlessly bridges a gap between both genres, composing heartbreakingly beautiful songs that are performed with an honest, intense energy on stages worldwide.
Tracked by McGrath alone in Windsor, ON, and compiled from songs composed during a 10-month world tour in support of his acclaimed 2022 release Bells of Hope, A Dizzying Lust features McGrath channeling the frontier spirit of a folk singer alone on the road with an acoustic guitar. McGrath’s trademark notoriety as a savage rocker is traded for a subtle minimalism and focused attention to the lyrics and song. A Dizzying Lust arrived on LP May 2024 via Cassettes Records, which will see McGrath taking the album across Japan, Canada and Europe.
