Life after Gas Giant: Øresund Space Collective

From Copenhagen, Denmark comes Øresund Space Collective, a Space, Psych, Stoner Rock collective featuring two members from Gas Giant. In 2007 they released their third album called  The Black Tomato. 

It's a band with apperance of many guest musicians. Sometimes they play up to 12 men on one stage. There are many influences, like Pink Floyd, Ozric Tentacles and Black Sabbath.

The Øresund Space Collective (OSC) had their first jamsession in April 2004, encouraged by longtime spacerock-fanatic Scott Heller; aka Dr. Space. The collective is a group of Danish, Swedish and American musicians that get together as often as possible for free form improvised cosmic music. The flavour of the music is different with each session.

The stretched out jams can often combine complex interplay between guitar and synthesizer as well intense drumming and bass playing. Sometimes chaotic, sometimes melodic but most of the time funky and cosmic ! We enter into the genre of funk, jazz, reggae, kraut, stoner, folk, world, electronica and space rock ( and probably some others) as we improvise our way along. The jam sessions alternate between Malmö and København across the Øresund bridge, which connects Denmark & Sweden! The core of the collective features current and former members of the Danish bands Mantric Muse and Gas Giant as well as the Swedish band Bland Bladen. Quite often other musicians join as well from other Swedish bands like the Carpet Knights, Drahk von Trip and Sgt. Sunshine. (From Myspace)
