STRANGE DAZE FEST is a bank holiday weekender of psychedelic, rock, noise and experimental music, taking place Friday 27th - Sunday 29th May at The Moon Club, The Full Moon and Fuel in Cardiff. 

Live acts performing in the Womanby Street venues will range from 60s garage-psych to noise pop, shoegaze, experimental and rock. 

Headlining the Friday night is BOB LOG III, an American slide guitarist who plays an old Silvertone archtop guitar while wearing a full body human cannonball suit and motorcycle helmet wired to a telephone receiver, which allows him to devote his hands and feet to guitar and drums. 

Welsh band GULP perform their dreamy, fuzzed up, cinematic and ethereal pop on the Sunday, before the otherworldly FLAMINGODS close the festival. 

Also playing are SLY & THE FAMILY DRONE - a primal orchestra of drum rhythms, radiophonic oscillator noise and electronically-abstracted vocals, Bristol's noise rock quartet SPECTRES, "turbo-prog" band CLEFT on their farewell tour, and Austin's percussion-driven SHIT AND SHINE.

Gulp - Season Sun
Release Date: June 24, 2014
Optimism can be a hard quality to come by, especially in a world that seems to pride itself on cynicism and negativity. But that’s exactly why we need a band like Gulp in our lives. The lush Welsh/Scottish pop group is happy to consider itself an antidote to the creeping pessimism of modern life.
“It’s what comes out of us naturally,” says Gulp’s vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Lindsey Leven. “Everything that you’re writing from the heart is a reflection of what’s going on in your life.” Her husband and bandmate Guto Pryce agrees, “It’s even in times of adversity that we try to remain optimistic.”
In 2014, Gulp has plenty to be enthused about! Pryce has a musical legacy to be proud of, having spent the past 20 years as a founding member of UK pop superstars Super Furry Animals. And Pryce and Leven are both glowing from the joy of writing and recording music together.
But even amid that, there could have been a turn towards more moody and desperate material. Instead, the pair, with bandmates Gid Goundrey (guitars) and Gwion Llewelyn (drums/vocals), came out with Season Sun, a fuzzy, buzzing upbeat ode to the changing seasons, watching plants grow, dancing, and as they sing on “Vast Space,” being willing to “open up your heart and let the love flood in.”
The “vast space” isn’t just the one within, either. The natural world played a key part in the creation of these songs, some written while Pryce and Leven were vacationing in the California desert, others while road tripping through the Scottish Highlands (you’ll find images of these adventures with the album art) .
There’s some connection to be found between these sounds and what Pryce accomplished as a member of the Furries – the two projects share a love of warm vintage synth sounds and a burnished brand of psychedelia. But Gulp expresses itself with almost throwback sentiments. Apart from a few moments, Season Sun could easily be mistaken this for a lost gem of the late ‘60s unearthed by a studious crate digger.
For as verdant as Gulp’s sound is, the core belongs the musical relationship between Pryce and Leven. When the project began back in 2012, their first efforts centered on just the couple and their trusty drum machine, a Roland 505 donated to them by Leven’s yoga teacher. And even amid the fine contributions of Goundrey and Llewelyn, the heart of each song is the harmonic interplay between Levin’s Leven vocals and the warming synth and bass notes from her musical co-pilot.
Gulp’s humble beam of multicolored musical light has already made its way through the band’s native UK thanks to a well loved lead single “Game Love” and a tour supporting Django Django. The quartet is now looking to taking their message of optimism through the US with their first stop being this year’s SXSW Festival and hopefully some more touring to round out the rest of 2014.

Pronounced 'fla-min-gods', they see their calling as an otherworldly beast combining their favourite animal - the flamingo - with mythology. Now split between London and Bahrain, the five artists experiment with instruments sourced across the world and never fail to impress us with their exotic, and at times trippy, wondermusic. Forever counting down the days to their show at London's Oslo on 11th May, we are thrilled to present the first single from their forthcoming record, Majesty. Improve your day by hitting play and discovering more about the Jodorowsky-inspired Rhama and Flamingods themselves as we catch up with Kamal…
