Spiral Drive - "GREEN VANILLA TOUR“ 2025 + Acid Rooster

In the organizer's words:

VISIONS IN BLOOM - with their second studio album and the song SPACE TRAIN, which has been streamed millions of times, SPIRAL DRIVE impressively demonstrate that they are one of the most exciting international neo-psych acts from all over Europe.

On the 2022 release, German/Austrian music producer (Mother's Cake, Ok Danke Tschüss, Noah Fürbringer,...) and live musician Raphaël Neikes once again demonstrates his ability to fuse psychedelic rock, alternative rock, psych pop, grunge and indie rock with his band in a homogeneous and stylistically confident manner. Comparisons with bands such as Tame Impala, Nirvana, Queens Of The Stone Age, MGMT or Pink Floyd are never far away - and yet the band is difficult to pigeonhole.

No wonder that musicians such as Ben McLeod from "All Them Witches" (US) and "Lord Fascinator" from "Children Collide" (AUS) have already worked with the busy band leader Neikes and that a large part of the fan base in the USA is already eagerly awaiting a visit from the band.

After several tours through Europe and even South Africa, the band will crown their 2024 festival summer with a concert recorded by the legendary WDR/Rockpalast at the Harmonie Bonn on October 11, 2024.

In January/February 2025, the band, who will even attempt a cover version of a Beatles song, will embark on a 16-date tour through Germany and Austria.

Until then, at least one new single will be released.

Acid Rooster:

With a sound that conjures up the spirit of the German kraut and psych-rock pioneers, the three Franconian musicians-by-choice from Leipzig celebrate suspenseful, free-thinking instrumental music on their partly written and improvised albums, which not infrequently develops a trance-like undertow and, gradually increasing, discharges in breathtaking climaxes.

The trio experimentally measures the acoustic space between brute and spherical and shines with compositional sophistication, authenticity and emotional complexity. It is therefore not surprising that the three friends from their early youth share a long musical socialization and can draw on a wide range of inspirations and musical experiences.

They succeed in interpreting the psychedelic heritage in an unpretentious and contemporary way, retaining the freedom to explore related genres such as space rock, drone, garage or cosmic music while always remaining authentic and stylistically confident.
