Tatsuya Nakatani & Kenny Millions from Osaka, Japan & Detroit, Michigan MASTER avant-garde performers and improvisers Keshavan “Kenny Millions” Maslak and Tatsuya Nakatani join forces in this visceral, non-linear and intuitively primitive improvisation. Both Kenny and Tatsuya have contributed extensively to music and have recorded with whom some of you might consider the “most important” names in music.

Barkers Of The Wrong Tree from Panama City Beach, Florida Barkers is Dadacore, which is to me is basically jam music for when you like Beefheart and “just jamming” isn’t enough. What genres don’t they dip their toes into? This group is a bunch of wonderful sonic freaks! 

Sean Hamilton from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania "As far as experimental, improvised music goes, Hamilton is clearly a master with the ability to truly express individuality." - Positively Underground blog /  “One of those holding the torch of progression of drumming.” - Adam Arritola

Mystic Inane from New Orleans, Louisiana  This band was brought out from all corners of the US to play Psych Fest. The Club Space regular techno crowd was rolling in and had to watch the band as they passed to the upstairs. It was wonderful. For fans of: Noise Rock/Hardcore Punk /Garage/Surf/Skate/Hip Hop/Art Rock. STRAIGHT UP.

Ed Wilcox and Turner Williams  “Pure Enchantment” from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Ed Wilcox (who has jammed with Sun Ra before) on drums and visual artist/Shahi Baaja player Turner Williams. What more could you possibly need. Meditative sonic bliss.

The Perfect Trip: Miami Psych Fest II

The Perfect Trip: Miami Psych Fest II (6/22/23, 2018) at Club Space’s “The Ground” and “Floyd”, Miami, FL. Curated by: Eclectic Overdrive Documented by: Andrew Chadwick

Live sets:

The Minneapolis Uranium Club from Minneapolis, Minnesota “(Uranium Club) is a fully realized, inclusive world of faux-corporation sponsored  surrealist new wave punk music rife with satire and discordance. Robotically tight. Delightfully warped. Ideas as vast as Nebraska’s GMO cornfields and as lethal as the pesticides they spray on them. Truly, our generation’s DEVO. An important group." - Jensen Ward 

Sugar Candy Mountain from Oakland, California “If Brian Wilson had dropped acid on the beach in Brazil and decided to record an album with Os Mutantes and The Flaming Lips, it would sound like this -- all psychedelic pop Wall-of Sound and beach balladry.” 

Jitters from Tampa, FL "Tampa-bred instrumental math-prog duo that plays fast and futuristic melodies, with busy drums and sonic loopage scattered throughout their songs. Their sound is taut and nervous, full of abrupt, jagged instrumental twists and turns." 

Ava Mendoza’s Unnatural Ways from Brooklyn, New York On Mendoza, critics have quoted: “It’s… Ava Mendoza’s deconstructing of blues and punk into brutal shredfests that’s causing a ruckus in NYC’s DIY hubs” (Brad Cohan, Noisey/Vice). “A wizard on a semi-circle of effects pedals, but… equally adept with FX-less technique," (Lars Gotrich, NPR).   She was featured as one of Guitar World‘s “10 Female Guitarists You Should Know”. 

Bobb Hatt from Columbus, Ohio “Hatt is a true madman who carries the spirit of Kaoru Abe into the future with his pedalboard. His International Noise Conference performance made him an international meme, and he has appeared on networks such as Adult Swim and John Olson’s Instagram.”
