I'm going to my first Texas psy party this weekend, y'all!
Join us for a night under the stars, featuring some of the best psychedelic trance acts the US has to offer!
Live performances by:
UNWASHED TOMATO (Unwashed Records, Philadelphia): Unwashed Tomato is the project from Unwashed Records label manager 800 Deathsticks and The Andychrist. They return to Texas after blowing our minds at the Bitter Blossom Festival and releasing their new album "Shovel Ready." Expect a full power nighttime stomp.
http://www.unwashedtomato.com/ONNOMON (Gaian Mind, Soular Records; Seattle): Currently based in Seattle, Dean has been rocking dance floors all over the world for the last seven years. Onnomon brings a distinctive psychedelic tribal trance styling that gives joy to the dance floor. With diverse influences his music smashes the boundaries of expectation and is sure to raise a smile and drop a stomp. His sets feature extensive improvisation of arrangements from tracks off the forthcoming album "Escape from Planet Buddha" along with very cutting-edge techno-inspired crispy bubbling grooves.

After touring all over Europe this summer, Greg has finally returned to America. He has produced more collaborative tracks than nearly any other psytrance artist, with such top names as Electrypnose (Switzerland), Furious (Russia), and Kindzadza (Russia).

Insect-like drones and cell based beats drive environmental mixes of organized time units. Drawing from his experience as a member of Texas Psy-trance trio Init-String ALP will bring you a wide variety of sonic spectra that could only come from a mind such as this.

***Location: Spirit Haven is 101 acres, home of the Council of Magickal Arts located in Fayette County. There is a ton of room for camping, separate from where the sound will be, with tons of trees and fire pits for small camp fires. So bring tents, hammocks, chairs, food to cook, etc. This is a very special plot of land and we are very privileged to be able to use it, so it is very important that we leave it just how we found it. Everything that you bring onto the land YOU must bring out.
Directions to the venue can be found on the website...
