Miami Psych Fest Announces 2020 Line-Up and Return

The up and coming music festival releases the roster for their third edition, and keeping up the impressive tempo

Miami- With festival season in full swing, and a plethora of competition to manage through, it can be hard to judge just where the sounds may be. And sometimes, as with all projects, the best ones are hidden right before your eyes.

Most definitely the case in Psych Fest, as Eclectic Overdrive has released the lineup for their two day celebrations, taking place April 25th-26th at the artists hive that is the 777 International Mall in the beating heart of Downtown Miami.

Consisting of Damo Suzuki (in their Miami debut), Abbey Rader, Dama Vicke, Crank Sturgeon, Al Lover, Electric Supply Company, Jeff Carey, Jaialai, POORGRRRL, Donzii, and many many more, the festival also stands out as a truly unique and daunting format: 91 of the best acts, all within a 48 hour period.

With Single Day tickets at just $30, and passes for the full 48 hours at $55 (Children under 5 are free), this is not just a chance to see some of the best sounds South Florida has to offer, but in an experience that is unlike any other.

We highly recommend coming out, and we look forward to seeing you there...

Talibam! to release ultra-limited box set containing 15 NEW albums in celebration of their 15th anniversary; announce German festival residency and tour dates

There’s “doing it,” and then there’s “overdoing it.” Guess which way NYC’s premier “Dadaist provocateurs” are leaning? Never ones to mail it in, Talibam! have carved out a 15-year career revealing the often-engrossing uniqueness of a band that has remained confidently outside any easily recognizable genre but has embraced so many. Matt Mottel and Kevin Shea have never shied from showing us their fun and exploratory side; so to celebrate their musical lives together thus far, they’ve announced a new box set containing basically a bazillion new albums and a bunch of German festival shows that are as quirky as they are. An ambitious and artistic box set creation, 15th Anniversary Box Set, 2003-2018, Presenting 15 New Albums for 2018 is exactly that: 15 NEW albums on 8 CDs to celebrate Shea and Mottel’s 15 years as Talibam! This is not a band that caters to any act of convention; so, naturally, each album is a different affair featuring a slew of styles and collaborators, such as Audrey Chen and Phil Minton, Alan Wilkinson, and Colin L. (in fine Billy Joel Cover Band form). All eight discs also include covers adorned with photography by Mottel’s father, the late, esteemed lensman, theater director/producer, and media consultant Syeus Mottel. The CD box is being released in a limited-edition of 100 only, so go here now and send it to someone you love (yourself). Meanwhile, Mottel and Shea are currently playing around in Europe until the beginning of June, after which they will return stateside for a couple of gigs in Miami and Brooklyn. All dates listed from May 18-May 21 are part of Talibam!’s “Artist in Resistance” residency at the Moers Festival in Germany and feature a variety of Talibam! shows and events, sessions, and discussions featuring Mottel, Shea, and frequent collaborators Matt Nelson, Ron Stabinsky, and Luke Stewart. Pour yourself a drink and raise a glass to commemorate one of the most overdoingist bands of the last 15 years. You’ll need a pretty big glass, though; there is a LOT of info below. Billy Joel Cover Band (2017) by Colin L. & TALIBAM! 15th Anniversary Box Set, 2003-2018, Presenting 15 New Albums for 2018: I. Talibam! + Audrey Chen & Phil Minton - Purple Piano II.

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.”
