NEW CANDYS (ITA)
Psychedelic Rock
Concocted with the darkest deviant rock'n'roll ethos and distinctive melodic distortions, New Candys have established themselves as one of the most compelling bands to emerge from italy in recent years. Founded by Songwriter and singer-guitarist Fernando Nuti alongside Bassist and synth player Dario Lucchesi, the lineup is completed by Emanuele Zanardo on lead guitar and backing vocals and Francesco Giocomin on drums and sampler. Signed to the Cult record lable Fuzz Club, the band is reconized for ist unfilteres artisticapproach and versatility, seamlessly blending symbolism of their hometown, Venezia, often permeates their Music, which explores surreal and sometimes crytic themes.
"Pretty good, pretty heavy. I don’t think anybody can outkink Italians" Iggy Pop
"Please do yourself a favor and go see New Candys. Really good live" Anton Newcombe, The Brian Jonestown Massacre

THE VELVET SWING (AUT)
Psychedelic/ Surf-Garge Rock
2017 zuerst als Solo Projekt von Philip Paulus gegründet, gehört mittlerweile auch Michael Zagorec zur fixen Kernbesetzung von The Velvet Swing. Beide verbindet dabei von Anfang an eine große Liebe zum Psychedelic Rock zwischen dessen klassischen Surf- & Garagen-Vorstufen sowie deren modernen Adaptionen (Allah-Las, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Black Angels). Dabei entsteht aus einer Handvoll Akkorden, wenig Progression und spärlicher Instrumentalisierung eine zeitlose Coolness, die jeglichen Firlefanz bewusst weglässt. Diese Attitude durchzieht auch die Tonträger von The Velvet Swing (4 EP´s & 1 LP), die voll von psychedelischen Perlen im klassischen Drei-Minuten-Format sind. Psychedelic Rock als Nichteinverstandensein mit der Wirklichkeit, wo sich coole Filme nicht nur angeschaut werden wollen, sondern wo in ihnen gelebt werden will. Am 07. Februar 2025 erschien mit Dream Of Abstract die vierte EP des Projekts auf dem Salzburger Label Bachelor Records. Der Extended Player enthält 5 Songs, darunter die bereits veröffentlichten Singles Trouble And Mud und Dream Of Abstract. Gemischt und gemastert von Leonard Kaage (Error & The Underground Youth). Kaage hat den Live-Sound der Band aufgegriffen und ihn in seiner Mischung widergespiegelt. Die Single Trouble And Mud wurde bereits von Robert Rotifer (FM4) sowie in der Morning Show von John Richards (KEXP) gespielt.
