The Cosmic Dead

[sunray]

Just stumbled upon this lot. They're from Glasgow and describe themselves as a Psych/Drone/Kosmiche/Space/Krautrock collective. I think a few peeps here will dig 'em.

Currently checking out their bandcamp after looking for an alternative to Shonen Knife's sold out gig at Glasgow Nice N Sleazy's tomorrow, and finding out this lot are playing a free gig at Mono.

Really enjoying it so far - I thought there was a chance they would have been mentioned here, and indeed there's the thread

Currently lined up for the next issue of Optical Sounds fanzine mentioned around here. I did a brief interview of their guitarist for inclusion. Their two albums that i have are fantastic!

There is a Black Bombain set up there from the same festival that is simply superb too.

I purchased several discs on the name alone, and was not disappointed!
