Raw Power
Can You Feel It?
Raw Power - a one-day micro festival bringing the best in proto-punk, synth metal, psychedelic freak beat, krautrock and shoegaze. Expect underground sounds in genres so now they ain’t even been named yet. We’ll be joined by DJs joining the dots from surf and drone to no wave and be-bop with plenty to see and do between bands. Guaranteed substance AND style all down the line.
Plus: all day BBQ, Kool-Aid cocktail bar, film screenings, acoustic sets, blues players, honky-tonk piano, live painting, games, zine and record stalls, vintage clothes and jewellery concessions… Enjoy a sing-along from Hukuna Matata to Lou Reed’s Perfect Day whilst you watch the smoke clouds from your shisha pipe drift away…
