Mod - Psych - Garage Night Camden

What a wonderful night of Psych-pop, garage rock, freakbeat and a slice of mod to top it off. Make sure you are in Camden for this one!


THE BANDS
The Galileo 7 play psych-tinged, garage-flavoured, Medway-tainted power-pop and feature former Prisoner, Solarflare and current Forefather Allan Crockford.

As a member of such semi-legends as the Prisoners, The Solarflares, JTQ, Thee Headcoats now Graham Day & the Forefathers (amongst a much longer list), Allan Crockford has played an important if low-key part in establishing the Medway area's reputation as a hotbed for spirited, uncompromising garage rock with a strong DIY ethic. Playing with such Medway notables as Billy Childish, James Taylor and Graham Day his reputation was as the reliable sideman for more flamboyant figures. Now he has found a late flowering talent for writing his own material.
The Galileo 7 were formed to play the songs he had been storing up for the last 3 or 4 years. While the band still has the trademark punk ('66 and '76 versions) fire and energy that marks out the Medway sound, there are extra elements in the music that shifts it away from the trademark crashbangwhallop... call it pop-psych, punkadelic, powerpop or whatever you like. If it's energy you're after you won't be disappointed, but there are also tunes and harmonies by the bucketload to guarantee that these songs hang around in your head long after the initial sonic impact has faded.

THE PAST TENSE are a 3 piece band from Worcester Park/Kingston and have been writing and recording for over a year in the current guise.
A collective love of 60"s beat,mod,psych,Garage and punk coming together to make music that will hopefully appeal to the many(rather than the few).

The Mynd Set
Filling a space that has long been empty in the British music scene, The Mynd Set are the era-bending, genre-defying purveyors of psychedelic freakbeat not seen since the heady days of Swinging London.
