AQUARIUS VOID

Peter from Greece sended this one to me (Thanx Again). Aquarius Void is a great band after 500 Ft. Of Pipe has quit. Beside the 7" the download contains the Basement Demos from 2006.

With a pedigreed lineup (see Ross Westerbur of 500 Ft. of Pipe; Mike Alonso of Five Horse Johnson and Speedball; and Zach Shipps of Atomic Numbers and Electric Six), it's no wonder Aquarius Void hurls fistfuls of space rock that can shake molars and crack sternums. Catch them whenever possible.

THE AWESOME MACHINE - UNDER THE INFLUENCE

Swedish The Awesome Machine has famous albums like The Soul Of A Thousand Years and ...It's Ugly Or Nothing. Under The Influence is not that well known, but still a great album. After they stopped in 2006, members continued in bands such as On Parole, Mother Misery and Stonewall Noise Orchestra.

"The Awesome Machine delivers once again! It’s full speed ahead rightaway with ”Tomorrow” and ”Cure Me”, just the kinda tunes that made me like Awesome Machine from the start... killer fuzz and a pounding groove, and there’s even some cool slide guitars on "Tomorrow"."

An 80's Sci-Fi Soundtrack

Bull Dyke Rodeo is an Instrumental Stoner Doom band from the U.S.A. They claimed to be influenced by Paul Verhoeven's Total Recall and Robocop. What I hear is good Stoner Doom with Metal elements like High On Fire.

Born and raised in the IL/IA/WI Tri-State area, bull dyke rodeo was conceived in August of 2004. After four years together, we have played shows across the midwest, as well as released a full-length album, JAILBREAK. We've shared the stage with national acts such as Droids Attack, Imperial Battlesnake, Bible of the Devil, Tight Phantomz, Lamont, Black Cobra, The Horde, and The Tanks. We are a doom/stoner rock band with technical skill, big grooves, and huge riffs. Our material ranges from sludge stomping to doom jamming. We tune down and turn up.

500 FT. OF PIPE

It seems that I have the nasty habit to post bands that splitted up. So is 500 Ft. Of Pipe. Great Stoner Rock from Detroit Rock City, but 500 Ft. Of Pipe called it Drug Rock. Whatever.

500 Ft. Of Pipe is a drug rock band from Detroit. 'Drug rock' is a term used by the band to provide a framework for their collective aesthetic vision, to crystallize their nebulous inspirations/aspirations into a distinct and meaningful 'sound'. The formula calls for equal parts distortion, psychedelia, and stoner ennui, buffered with old-fashioned pop sensibilities, and catalyzed by means of a certain notorious pastime. Think Black Sabbath and Blue Cheer; think Monster Magnet and Kyuss; think MC5 and Stooges; think Doors and Deep Purple. Then again, think something entirely different altogether. 500 Ft. Of Pipe is new. 500 Ft. Of Pipe is a trio fronted by a stand-up rock-out two-fisted keyboard player (Ross Westerbur), who belts out angry-young-man lyrics interwoven with 'yeah, baby!'-type rock and roll exclamations, while his left hand coaxes stunning lines from a Rhodes Piano Bass (a la Ray Manzarek), and while his right attends to a distortion-drenched, Marshall-fueled Rhodes Seventy-Three, sounding more Ritchie Blackmore than John Lord. Terminally jaded guitarist Kevin Edwards offers the six-string counterparts of soaring, echo-fuzz-wah screams and pentatonic riffage (surely these are the 3,000 guitars that Buck Dharma prophesied!), while drummer Mick Stone attacks his minimalist kit with all the vehemence that only his Type A-plus personality could invoke. Heavy... ...This is drug rock, baby.

By Request: MAMMOTH VOLUME

From the 'music Walhalla' called Sweden, comes Mammoth Volume. One of the great  Stoner-bands like Dozer, Demon Cleaner, Greenleaf, etc. In december 2008 they decided to quit.

Mammoth Volume. Really, the band's name says it all. Their sound is BIG and WOOLLY and bound to the icy north. But that doesn¹t quite explain where the other elements found in the music come from..... The band's 70s-styled retro-rock, mixed with experimental soundscapes has developed over the years. Universal influences cited by the band range from obvious to reflective and include Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, AC/DC, Rainbow as well as bands like Budgie, Mike Oldfield, Yes, King Crimson, The Mahavishnu Orchestra and Gentle Giant. Mammoth Volume rock hard, but also offer layer upon layer of musical nuances to be peeled back with each new listen. There are roaring motor cycle engines and waves upon the beach, raging Vikings and endless starry skies in their works. Behold a musical giant in the making, behold Mammoth Volume.

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)

Here are some downloads from live shows:
