The Heavy Minds - Second Mind

THE HEAVY MINDS are a Garage-Psych band based in Upper Austria. Even though the idea of genre-boundaries is quite meaningless for the band themselves, it would probably be most appropriate to claim that the boys are influenced by a huge musical melting pot of sounds of the late 60's 'n 70's, Garage/Prog/Krautrock, Heavy Psych, Lo-Fi, Neo-Psychedelia and all sorts of underground rawness.

All of their material was recorded at Chris' small homestudio, mixed by Marco Kleebauer (LEYYA, KARMA ART, ...) and mastered by Alpha Mastering. Furthermore and from now on the group will be joined live by Benedikt Brands (MY FRIEND PETER, HIGH BRIAN,...) on bass and synths.

One of the most significant scenes in the video was shot at the "Kometor", which is an art project that combines abstract artistry with galactic imagery and is one of the highlights of Peuerbach. The small town, located in Upper Austria, is also the bands hometown.

THE HEAVY MINDS is: 

Lukas Götzenberger (guitar, vocals), 

Tobias Hochwagen (guitar), 

Christoph Hofer (drums), 

Benedikt Brands (bass, synths)

Today's tune is the title tune taken from the bands latest album "Second Mind", enjoy!

The Dead Weather - Child Of A Few Hours Is Burning Death

Thursday, time for a cover.

Today's tune "Child Of A Few Hours Is Burning Death" originally written by Bob Markley, Ron Morgan of American 60's garage-psych band THE WEST COAST POP ART EXPERIMENTAL BAND and it can be found on the fourth album "Volume 3: A Child's Guide to Good and Evil", and was released on Reprise Records in May 1968. As with the THE WEST COAST POP ART EXPERIMENTAL BANDs earlier work, the album saw the band continue to blend psychedelic influences and complex studio techniques, and was marked by a bizarre fusion of innocence and malice in the band's lyrics. "Volume 3" featured the bands most ambitious music to date and the striking cover art of John Van Hamersveld who adding an abstract image which contrasted light and darkness, yet it failed to sell in sufficient copies to chart nationally. In more recent times, the album has been considered the band's most accomplished work and a masterpiece of the psychedelic genre.
