The Fungus Brain Festival is a showcase event celebrating the alluring crossover between the twin pillars of Psych Rock and Post Rock, both of which have developed a hardcore following of passionate devotees over the last decade or so, especially here in Victoria, Australia’s premier live music state! Stylistically, the connection is within the ambience – the predilection to open a doorway of otherworldliness, a trip into the ethereal. But like all good trips, there are highlights and climaxes, and these five bands most certainly deliver their fair share of adrenalin as well.Co-headlining the event are two of the best in their respective genres: Mushroom Giant is a Psychedelic Post Rock band currently celebrating their 20th year as a band, originally forming in Ballarat as United Sound. Co-headliner KHAN (Psych Rock) will be on their “Where There’s a Will There’s a Way” Australian Tour. Both bands have had prodigious last few years releasing albums and touring – Mushroom Giant performing the big stage at Dunk Festival in Belgium and touring with Russian Circles (USA) and Mono (Japan) here in Australia; and Khan touring Europe and the UK in 2023 – honing their live shows both aurally and visually, with both bands complementing their music with impressive visual stimuli.
It is a truly stunning lineup when you have the calibre of these three bands rounding out the bill: Treebeard (Post Metal from Melbourne), HEINOUS CRIMES (Psych Rock from Adelaide) and THE SINSEMILLIAN (Psych Rock from Ballarat). Three bands on the rise and riding the wave of recent album releases and subsequent praise from fans and press alike. All five bands deliver impressive live performances.
Tickets are $20 plus booking fee via www.voltaballarat.com.au/gigs (or $25 at the door, if available). Volta is located at 15 Field Street, Ballarat. Get along, support awesome live music.
