Pete Bassman (aka Pete Bain) is one of the original members of Spacemen 3, which can be considered one of the most influential psych bands of all time. From modest beginnings in Rugby, Spacemen 3 went on to influence generations of psych rockers worldwide with albums such as 'Sound of Confusion', 'The Perfect Prescription' and 'Performance' - all featuring Pete Bassman.
Pete left Spacemen 3 (and was replaced by Will Carruthers) and formed other influential and equally excellent projects, such as The Darkside and Alpha Stone. Pete Bassman is the only original member of Spacemen 3 still based in Rugby and, for our money, he remains the best and most "spaceman" member of Spacemen 3. His live sets are real psychedelic trips and he's STILL light years ahead of anyone else on the scene. Simply unmissable.
Thee Lucifer Sams are true psychedelic visionaries, with their exciting sonic rollercoaster, semi improvised, creating music that is only available live.
Warm Parts are a fantastic, kraut powerhouse from Todmorden, making powerful, instrumental psych numbers powered by motorik rhythms.
Liverpool Psychedelic Society nights are more than just gigs, but true psychedelic happenings, with visuals and great vibes all night.
