Kingdom Of The Holy Sun: At The Gates Of Dawn 2016 + The Man With The Little Hands 2016 + In The Shadows 2019

 

Formed on the 1st of May 2012 in Seattle, WA, Kingdom of the Holy Sun offers their twist on

psychedelia. The band draws on such genres as the melodic and fuzzed out sounds of garage rock from the 60's, meditative drones and instrumentation from the Indian Sub-continent, as well as the more recent sounds of neo- psychedelia. 
                              

Kingdom Of The Holy Sun is the 60’s psych brain child of the Seattle’s dude Guido Anselmi, and he

creates his noise ensembles using whatever influences and instruments available from those age. Their sound is heavily rooted in 1960s garage rock and psych-rock, often drawing comparisons to modern neo-psychedelia mainstays like The Black Angels and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. 
                        

Their music blends: Fuzzed-out and tremolo-heavy guitar waves, Meditative drones and traditional Indian

instrumentation (like sitars and harmoniums), Vintage organs, Farfisa, and Mellotron backdrops, Shamanistic percussion and brooding, dark-wave vocals
                       

The band draws on such genres as the melodic and fuzzed out sounds of garage rock from the 60’s,

meditative drones and instrumentation from the Indian Sub-continent, as well as the more recent sounds of neo- psychedelia. These influences form touchstones they use to explore new sonic landscapes. 
                           

01. KINGDOM OF THE HOLY SUN - AT THE GATES OF DOWN 29 July 2016

                                  

Their 2016 release, At The Gates of Dawn, features all the cosmic appeal of earlier albums with more focused song writing, resulting in 10 tracks you can sing a long to as well as get lost in. For those

unfamiliar with the band’s latest offering, At The Gates of Dawn lead track and song of the day “Flown Away” is the perfect place to start. The track offers a minute of shimmering instrumentation featuring a buzzing guitar and the elegant canter of strings playing tug-of-war over the lead melody before rolling vocals take the forefront. It is a meandering affair that will have even the most grounded listeners floating away among the sonic clouds of Kingdom of the Holy Sun.

A quick internet search of Kingdom of the Holy Sun reveals that the Seattle, WA band’s music has found

eager ears all over the world. That may seem odd for a band just starting to gain traction, but Kingdom of the Holy Sun’s true domain has never been earth, let alone the United States. The 6-piece delivers cosmic sounds through their garage tinted brand of psychedelia, whisking listeners away on otherworldly journeys. This Seattle band’s latest release is a well-crafted set of ‘60s-steeped psych-rock with fuzzy guitars, sitar, hypnotic rhythms, airy harmonies, and catchy song hooks.

Dragontears: Discography

 

Dragontears is a side project of the rock based group BABY WOODROSE from Denmark. A recording only band headed by guitarist Lorenzo Woodrose which is quite far away from the usual

heavy rock style here. Enlarged by members of the band ON TRIAL they recorded their debut during one week between Christmas and New Years Eve in 2005 at the Black Tornado studio in Copenhagen. This album named '2000 Micrograms From Home' was offered in 2007 by Bad Afro Records and was originally concipated as a vinyl release only. Six cuts are included deriving from improvised jam sessions deep in hallucinatory psychedelia.
                      

One year later they followed this path with the second release 'Tambourine Freak Machine'. Once again

you will detect all the ingredients what the genre is able to present - trippy spacey songs with hypnotic parts, a lot of electronica and experimental elements. DRAGONTEARS is a recommended project for fans of the genre which shows a retro as well as a modern approach.

                          

01. DRAGONTEARS - 2000 MICROGRAMS FROM HOME 2007

                               

"2000 Microgramms From Home" marks the debut of Lorenzo Woodrose's DRAGONTEARS project. Originally playing stoner rock in the band BABY WOODROSE the musicians are turning deep into the psych/space territory here. Heavy rocking elements are taking a backseat and instead of that we have tons

of echo guitar and vocals, dreamy spaced out sounds presented in a hypnotic mood. I started to listen to the band with the follower 'Tambourine Freak Machine' first and it totally convinced me and therefore was praised with five stars. Surely a heavy load for this debut album which contains six songs representing a vinyl length of nearly 40 minutes. This is a very good listenable album for fans of psychedelic and spacey trips. Unfortunately DRAGONTEARS is a studio project what I know and the chance to enjoy this music live on a stage is very very small - but never say never ...

02. DRAGONTEARS - TAMBOURINE FREAK MACHINE 2008

                                               

             

DRAGONTEARS is a side project of the stoner rock band BABY WOODROSE where guitarist Lorenzo Woodrose can be treated as the mastermind. They are additionally supported by some members of another danish band called ON TRIAL. First of all - don't expect much heavy psych/space rock in the vein of

HAWKWIND or 35007. 'The concept is letting songs evolve freely in the sonic playground' they write on the myspace site. That's the case - and this is prepared in a more hallucinatory transcendental way which lets you questioning the musician's stoner rock origin in any case. The album sounds like recorded on bloc and is pointing to the former hippiesque 60/70s times a lot. But on the other hand this is not retro exclusively because they also use several innovative electronic ingredients. 'Tambourine Freak Machine' is recommended with a relaxed spacey base and nice melodies as well as portions of weirdness which makes this also interesting for krautrock fans. A special mix which is hardly comparable ...

03. DRAGONTEARS - TURN ON TUNE IN FUCK OFF!!

                                  

Danish Dragontears released their third album at the beginning of this month. Although I really enjoy also the two previous albums (2000 Micrograms from Home, 2007 and Tambourine Freak Machine, 2008), this

brand new one is possibly the best. So it's downright sad that Turn on Tune in Fuck off!! is at the same time also the last Dragontears album. The band's main figure, Baby Woodrose's Lorenzo Woodrose has decided that from now on he will incorporate also his weirdest and most psychedelic ideas into the albums of the main band. Well, it's of course a good thing considering the future Baby Woodrose albums! And these former and present members of On Trial and Baby Woodrose surely have several other projects as well.

Various – Do The Pop! Redux Part One 2007

High Energy Australian Rock'n'Roll 1976 - 1981

Includes rare Live radio Birdman track and Unreleased tracks by the Hitmen, Lipstick Killers, 31st, Reals, Survivors, Slaughterhouse 5, Shy Omposters, The End & ME262 - plus bonus tracks from 1974 by TV Jones and Kid Galahad & The Eternals (aka The Saints)!
                                 

RADIO BIRDMAN

"Do The Pop! Redux Part One" is a double CD compilation released in December 2007 by the Australian

THE LIPSTICK KILLERS

label Shock Records under their Savage Beat! imprint. It serves as the first installment of an expanded trilogy documenting the history and evolution of the Australian punk, post-punk, and garage rock scene. 
                                   

THE SCIENTISTS

This release is a follow-up to the highly successful 2002 compilation, "Do The Pop! The Australian

THE HITMEN

Garage-Rock Sound 1976-1987. While the original 2002 version featured 50 tracks, the Redux series was designed to provide a much more extensive archive, aiming for roughly 150 tracks spread across three volumes. This first part focuses heavily on the early, raw years of the scene, covering the period from 1976 to 1981. 
                                  

THE SUNNYBOYS

The compilation features rare recordings, unreleased tracks, and iconic anthems of the Australian underground. It maps out the musical geography from the birth of punk in Brisbane and Sydney to its evolution into power-pop.
Some of the most notable acts and tracks included are:
01. The Saints: Features the iconic "This Perfect Day", alongside a rare, primitive 1974 rehearsal version

THE SAINTS

of "(\I'm) Stranded" back when the band was still called Kid Galahad & The Eternals.
02. Radio Birdman: The pioneers of Australian garage punk, along with tracks from key spin-off groups (splinter bands) like The Visitors, The Hitmen, and New Race.
03. TV Jones: A pre-Birdman outfit featuring Deniz Tek, providing historical context to the roots of the scene.
04. The 31st & The End: Brisbane bands featuring members who would later go on to form the acclaimed Died Pretty.
05. Other Notable Artists: Includes tracks by the Sunnyboys, The Flaming Hands, ME262, and various other contemporaries of the punk era. 
                                  

THE END

Collector's Value: The release comes with a highly detailed, informative booklet (sleevenotes) filled with

THE 31ST

rare photos, making it a valuable historical archive for collectors.
Critical Response: Music critics (such as in Record Collector and The Guardian) praised its immense historical value in mapping out a geographically isolated scene. However, some noted that because it targets the very early years, it leans heavily into raw, lo-fi punk, making it more appealing to die-hard fans than casual listeners.
