Hypnotic Floor + China Soup + Marcel Gidote`s Holy Crab

PSYCHEDELIC / PROGRESSIVE / GARAGE ROCK FROM CZECH REPUBLIC AND AUSTRIA

HYPNOTIC FLOOR
The Vienna quintet combines influences of Psych-, Kraut-, and Progressive Rock. Their music is shaped by fuzzy riffs, spaced out synths and changing timesignatures, covering a varied range of sounds. The contrast between complex melodic lines and hypnotic and repetitive grooves is predominant throughout their meandering songs.

CHINA SOUP
Loud sharp guitars but also gentle synth melodies, all that can be China Soup. This Pilsen based band is definitely not afraid to experiment and mixing genres like garage,psychedelic or krautrock. If you are a fan of Oh sees or CAN you will not be disappointed.

MARCEL GIDOTE´S HOLY CRAB
Czech psychedelic band established in 2019 mixing 60’s and 70’s influences of rock and jazz with modern sound. The current five members are Jan Bukovjan on vocals, tenor sax., flute, clarinet, and acoustic guitar, Ondřej Vávra on vocals and guitar, Viktor Eberle on vocals, keyboard and synths, Marek Sobota on bass and Matěj Šolc on drums. MGHC released their debut EP called Bay Of Roots under the independent Czech label Polí5 in 2020. In 2021 they self-produced their first full-length album Humidity Breaking Limits where they moved forward to a more complex but also heavier musical expression. A new album called Farm Alarm that came up this year is based on more vocals parts, acoustic guitar, and synths and it is also a striking reminder of the climatic crisis of our planet.
Shortly MGHC established themselves in a few years as one of the most progressive Czech psychedelic bands, playing several extraordinary concerts for example one with legendary Japanese psychedelic band Acid Mother’s Temple (also with Acid Tongue, Tonstartssbandht, Lumerians, and Triptides). The band had reached several magazines and radios. Thanks to their mix of genres MGHC’s fanbase is still growing next to Czech bands like Madhouse Express or Kill the Dandies. In 2022 they started to play abroad and they already went to Germany, France, Slovakia, and Serbia. The band is currently working on another album and this year they will also release a soundtrack for an upcoming indie PC game called Felvidék.
