𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐊 (𝐀𝐔𝐓):

SPECK from Vienna have been performing high-energy space kraut rituals since 2019. SPECK deliver top-tier Space Rock. The energy-packed live shows of this Vienna-based quartet turn every venue into a seething cauldron!

SPECK creates an epic, groovy sound that hits the listener's legs as suddenly as the devil seizing lost souls. Mega fat basslines, clashing with an energetic driving drumbeat, are complemented by spaced-out synth sounds and an insane guitar that constantly oscillates between experimental, screeching frenzy and rhythmically nuanced precision.

The result is a fusion, a kaleidoscope of innovation with a hint of nostalgia. Better hold on tight!

Every SPECK show is an intense, immersive, and energy-charged experience. The unexpected lurks around every corner and edge. The drums push forward, the bass hypnotizes while massive, expressive guitar sounds and synth use the brain as a launchpad into the cosmos. Unexpected frequencies come together, and the whole thing

just drives. Where’s the journey heading? Who cares, the road is the destination!

This quartet provokes sonic collisions. A drummer rolling over every stop sign with a broad heavy-duty machine, a bassist pushing the engine to its limits with a constant roar, and a rowdy guitarist with a lead foot on the wah pedal. Buckle up! There are no traffic rules on the Krautobahn!

BIKE's trajectory has been one of long journeys, formed in 2015 by Julito Cavalcante (guitar and vocals), Diego Xavier (guitar and vocals), Daniel Fumega (drums) and João Gouvea (bass). Since the beginning, they have been highlighted by the press and the public with the release of his first album “1943” (2015), through “Em Busca da Viagem Eterna” (2017), “Their Shamanic Majesties' Third Request” (2018) and “Quarto Templo" (2019), and now their spiritual new album "Arte Bruta" (2023).

In these years of intense performances, the band played more than 400 shows in 16 Brazilian states, including underground venue stages, Brazilian festivals such as DoSol (RN), Psicodália(SC), MorroStock (RS), Picnik (DF), Virada Cultural (SP), and in reference spaces such as Circo Voador (RJ), Cine Jóia, CCSP, MIS, Sesc Pompeia, Belenzinho, Carmo, Ipiranga and Santana (SP), in addition to shared stages with names such as tropicalistas from Os Mutantes and North Americans The Black Angels and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Outside Brazil, they made 4 tours with more than 90 performances in the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Scotland, Wales and festivals such as SXSW (Austin, TX), Treefort Music Fest (Boise, ID), Primavera Sound (Spain), Nox Orae (Switzerland), MIL Lisboa (Portugal) and The Great Escape (England), in addition to being the only Brazilian band to have a single released by the label 30th Century Records, from the celebrated North American producer Danger Mouse. ]

In 2023 BIKE recorded their first session at the cult and amazing radio KEXP, in Seattle.

(re latest album Arte Bruta)

"There are also gems like Filha do Vento, composition with hypnotic lyrics and guitars that seem to come out of a Sonic Youth record. This richness of detail and delirious overlapping of elements is even more evident in the second half of the album. Inaugurated by the reductionist guitars of Além-Céu, the work advances little by little, combining acoustic arrangements, effects and birdsong that at all times reinforce the lysergy of the São Paulo quartet."

- 𝐌𝐮́𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚̂𝐧𝐞𝐚

"Although psychedelia is a hallmark of the band, in Arte Bruta the musical and lyrical references go beyond the lysergic references of previous records (“O Torto Santo”) in a wave of creative explosion. The album features an Afro-Brazilian filter present throughout the work, in addition to echoes of psychedelic rock from the 60s, tropicalism and post-tropicalism from the 70s, German progressive rock and the rhythmic structures of krautrock (“Santa Cabeça”)."

- 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐨 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞

"Definitive ambassadors of Brazilian musicality... creative, trance-inducing, percussive, groove-driven explosion of beautiful sound (...) new #BIKE @bikeoficial album 'Arte Bruta' sees an act that "reaches the pinnacle in their musical career thus far...embracing a more Brazilian sound" within their noted waves of #psych + beyond."

- 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐞

"a psych-coated effort with a "dreamy way of singing, straight out of the Astrud & Bebel Gilberto songbook." - 𝐖𝐨𝐍𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐞

"Cool mix of trippy vibes, sunlight breaking through the fog sounds, drifting ambience and some darker, brooding song lines to add ballast and edge."

AUTOHAU𝐬:

(“Motorik psyche with extra Kraut!”)

“AUTOHAUs are a four-piece band based in Margate, on the south coast of England, influenced by the heavier end of the 1970’s German kosmische movement, and a love of neo-psychedelia, noise, and spacerock.

AUTOHAUs improvise mesmerising fractal music, layering fuzzed-out sounds and electronic drones with motorik percussion and hypnotic bass lines. Expect to lose yourself in long, improvised, instrumental songs, played loud! … a must for fans of Loop, Spacemen3, The Cosmic Dead, Ash Ra Tempel and NEU!”

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐐𝐔𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒:

“As the listener loses themself in each piece, the players create a slowly rotating cognitive kaleidoscope of sound and you become lost in a lysergic storm cloud of phasing and feedback.” 𝐃𝐒𝐎 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨

“Inspired mainly by German krautrock and cosmic psychedelia (they) combine spatial noisy sounds, electronic drones and motorized percussion in their music, pulsating bass lines create a beautifully carrying trance.”𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞 (𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝)

“Great trip! These guys truly channel the weirdo German 70s through their improvisational rituals.” 𝐖𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐝𝐨 𝐒𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞

“An intense listening experience and a spectacular sonic resolution of unstoppable forces and immovable objects” 𝐎𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐞

“You’re just playing the same thing over… and over… and over” 𝐇𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰
