Bands
The Violet Mindfield (US)
Formed in the Inland Empire of southern California, The Violet Mindfield is an American rock band devoted to 1960s garage rock, surf, and psychedelic sounds.
The group consists of John Duran (lead vocals, guitar), Harry Parr (drums, backing vocals), Victor Salazar (2nd guitar, backing vocals), Sean Mcbreen (bass) and Clifton Weaver (multi-instrumentalist).
Formed across a series of LPs and singles for notable labels such as Outro Records, Hypnotic Bridge, and Disques Rogue, the band merges classic pop craftsmanship with their retro sensibilities to establish their place in the 60s inspired music scene.
These releases led to greater attention on their live performances resulting in appearances with other
prominent “retro inspired” acts such as The Sextones, Native Sun and Lenny Kaye at the Nuggets 50th Anniversary party.
The Violet Mindfield have a 2025 headline tour of the UK and Europe featuring headline of the Wachina festival in Spain and a performance at the historic Hundred Club in London.
''The term 'garage-punk' has been repeatedly abused this century, it’s a delight to see and hear
a band that get it completely right” - John “mojo” Mills – Shindig! Magazine

The Recalls (CHL/GER)
THE RECALLS heißt der chilenisch-spanische Paisley-Underground aus Berlin und Stuttgart, der sich den Sechziger Jahren verschrieben hat. Den klassischen Beat hat die Band jedoch in die Garage geschickt, um ihn dort mit einer eigenen Note zu versehen, die trotzdem noch genug Federhall und Fuzz für tanzwütige Menschen mitbringt.
Das 2021 fertiggestellte Album “There is no end“ kommt frisch aus den Yeah Yeah Yeah Studios Hamburg daher. Musikalisch bleibt die Band weiterhin dem beatlesquen Pop-Appeal treu. Bringt aber neben Britpop der Neunziger Jahre, melancholischen Post-Punk der Achtziger Jahre, sowie psychedelische Klänge ins Spiel.
Live geht es bei den Recalls garagen-punkig zur Sache und die smarten Jungs holen alles aus ihrem
Vintage-Equipment heraus!

Sacred Buzz (GER)
Sacred Buzz is a 4-piece psych garage band from Berlin, Germany. It materialized out of thin air in the hot summer of 2023 and already became known for stirring up Berlin's psych underground scene with their mesmerizing blend of raw energy, kaleidoscopic patterns, and psychedelic rhythm.
On 1st November 2024, their debut EP ''Radio Radiation'' was released on Irish Fuzzed Up & Astromoon records on cassettes and digitally and received critical acclaim with various radios, blogs, and outlets throughout Europe, the UK, and the US.
“Radio Radiation EP is filled with a blend of fuzzy, psychedelic rock and danceable grooves that reflect the band’s love for 60s garage rock, krautrock, and proto-punk. The EP’s sound mixes reverberating drones with raw energy, creating an atmosphere that’s both intense and nostalgic.” ~ Psychedelic Underground Generation
“Radio Radiation is a terrific first EP. Sacred Buzz would fit nicely on an updated edition of the classic Nuggets psychedelic compilation.” ~ The Third Eye
“Radio Radiation throws the listener into the middle of a vibrant dance floor lit by a vivid profusion of pulsating color, full of shiny bodies bathed in sweat and moving in slow motion in intense serpents.” ~ El Coyote
