Carlton Melton

Event information

Evil Hoodoo are stoked to announce we are bringing the Californian psych lords Carlton Melton to The Redhouse Sheffield on 17th October. Not to be missed for any psych fan!

CARLTON MELTON (Northern California)

Finally, a psychedelic band that successfully crosses generations, appealing equally to old school bong-bubblers, kinky krautrockers and the new school of psychedelic stooges. Can-style jams, trance-inducing drones and Ummagumma-era Pink Floyd ambiance may be the foundation here but these improv jam
s easily break from the tether of their influences and soar righteously through the stratosphere. Freak out!

The band CARLTON MELTON formed along the Mendocino County coastline in Northern California on the weekend of July 17th, 2008. The idea to play live, loud, improvised, experimental, instrumental, psychedelic music in a geodesic dome had been discussed for many years prior to this date. The opportunity came to fruition after the Dome was completely rebuilt and the acoustic sounds inside were fully realised.

DEAD SEA APES (Manchester)

'This trio have become masterful at creating huge vistas of sounds. A perfect concoction of sun-scorched psychedelia, raga infused improvisation and classic kraut-rock circularity, Dead Sea Apes recall Grails and Barn Owl at their best.'

Sounds From The Other City

'...stunning, visceral and downright thrilling... you’re going to have to trust me on this one – Dead Sea Apes are really something
very, very special indeed.'

Terrascope Online

'What is it that gives the meditations of these Dead Sea Apes such an undeniable emotional resonance?'
