Pete Bassman (Spacemen 3) + Silent-K + more

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 (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. Special guests Silent-K are an energetic alt-rock band from Liverpool, who've supported acts such as Oasis' Noel Gallagher, Fat White Family, Kula Shaker and others, paying a rare visit to London with their new, even stronger lineup (which included The Zutons' Dave McCabe in the past). If you haven't seen them before, it'll be an expereience not to be missed. Thee Lucifer Sams, are the visionary psychedelic rock band also from Liverpool, who refuses to do social media profiles or stream their music: their semi-improvised jams reminiscent of Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd , mixed with Hawkwind drive and Sonic Youth noise can only be experienced live. Audiences as far afield as Germany, Iceland and Sweden have enjoyed their sets - no two Thee Lucifer Sams shows are ever the same, and they were lauded by renowned writer John Robb as "stunning" live. Black Arches are an experimental group from Hastings, fusing psychedelia, electronics, spoken word and noise rock in wild live improvisations. They regularly collaborate with Medway Scene legend Sexton Ming and are not to be missed! This event will also feature Simone Butler (bassist with Primal Scream / Soho Radio presenter) doing a very special DJ set. Liverpool Psychedelic Society nights are more than just gigs, but true psychedelic happenings, with visuals and great vibes all night.
