Vrijdag 24 april: Jack Friday in Musicon! Met de bands Mantra Machine, Nauseahtake & The Om Syllable! Deze avond wordt georganiseerd door Dutch & European Stoner Rock en mede mogelijk gemaakt door Bazart Den Haag. €5,- entree Mantra Machine starts early 2012 when guitarist Paul, bass player Tjø and drummer Jeroen begin to play experimental jams together in their studio in Amsterdam. Influenced by the likes of stoner, spacerock and psychedelics, Mantra Machine is set out to reach new audiences with a mix of heavy guitars, shimmering bass and grooving drums, soaked in 'mantra style' instrumental synth soundscapes. In 2012 they debuted at the Sonic Rock Solstice festival in England and released their first EP 'Stage One'. Among other gigs they were invited to play at Mudfest III (2013) and shared the stage with a great line-up of other bands. In 2014 they have recorded and released a first full-length album called 'Nitrogen'. Nauseahtake was formed by Nemo and Elder around the year 2008 in Amsterdam. Two Italians who came together from Napoli to the Lowlands (without thinking too much about it) some years before establishing the identity of the project that was growing inside their souls. From formation to incubation, Nemo (at this moment being the live bass guitarist for the band Anatomy of I) and Elder met two other characters on their journey. One of them, Tedo, was by that time already a veteran guitarist for the gorilla-rock band Moonaddict, bass guitarist for the (now disbanded) metalcore band THISWILLKILLYOU and rapper/beat producer for the Dutch hiphop crew Rijmfabriek (Rhyme Factory). The other, Djox, was an independent artist and illustrator with a musical background in keys. The four became friends and a couple of years later the friends became a 4-piece Nauseahtake. In a short period their practicing space became a recording studio and the recording of Nauseahtake’s album Laws of Multiversal Gravitation started. In the summer of 2014 their album was finished and pressed on double heavy-weight vinyl with cover and booklet artwork done by the band, as well as a laser-etched D-side depicting a drawn interpretation of a Sumerian Demon done by Djox. The record was released through the band’s (phantom) label Gut-Punch Records and (apart from several record stores in The Netherlands) is being sold through the band’s Bandcamp and Discogs pages. The bands influences include bands like Neurosis, Isis, The Melvins, Tool, Today is the Day, Swans and much more… The Om Syllable is an instrumental band who focus on telling stories, without ever using lyrics. The genre could be described as a mashup between Stoner, Doom, Apocalyptic and Ambient. The Om Syllable is an innovative band, influenced by music from all over the world. The band has been founded in October 2013 on the Herman Brood Academie. With a few line-up changes the band is now complete and consists of the perfect members to make the music that's in their heads.
