Just a few months in and we can already tell 2015 is gonna be another good one for Dutch psychedelic rockers Birth Of Joy! Earlier this year they got nominated for a prestigious Edison Pop Award with their latest studio album “Prisoner”, and in June they’ll release their first live album. “Live at Ubu” is recorded during two sold out shows on Jan. 29 and 30 in Rennes (FR) and catches the psychedelic rockers doing what they do best – playing high-energy psychedelic organ rock & roll. Combined with a totally crazy audience this double CD/triple LP will definitely blow your socks off for almost 2,5 hours!
Influenced by psychedelica, blues and steaming rock & roll this trio takes you back to the good old times of MC5, The Doors and even Pink Floyd. At the same time they introduce a modern twist influenced by stoner, grunge and punk and hence create their own sound! With a drum-player that could be John Bonham’s son, an organist that harasses his instrument to death and a singer/guitarist that seems to be the power-incarnation of Jim Morrison, this band is bound to catapult psychedelic rock&roll back into our modern times with an energy you can’t resist!
