THE WARLOCKS

Event information

The Warlocks:
Through their latest album ‘The Mirror Explodes’ it is disorientation through a longer lens — pictures of luck, longing, losing, moods and fever dreams scrambled in the haze of near and distant memory, the band’s signature amalgam of White Light/White Heat attack; space panoramas, fuzz, melancholy, and melody is present and potent. But there is vivid focus too. Throbbing bass lines, distant rolling thunder drums, and zombie rattlesnake shake are a heartbeat of strange, ominous vitality. Guitars howl, slash and bounce like light. Bobby Hecksher’s vocals sound oddly alone and unsettlingly intimate all at once. And just when you think you understand the sum of these sonic elements, they become something else.

THE SNEAKYPEEKS: are one of the most exciting live acts to have ever come out of York. Selling out their local barfly (Fibbers), reaching the top 30 of the Radio One indie charts, playing Rocket festival in Spain, The Sneakys have now carefully crafted their very own tight live sound and aim to deliver their music with the excitement that the Kings of Leon and The Wombats have, and the energy of Muse and The Killers.
