Kikagaku Moyo

Psychedelic rock from Japan – close your eyes and listen your hair grow.

Japanese band Kikagaku Moyo plays an audacious mixture of 1970s psychedelic rock, krautrock, classical Indian music and acid folk, with reference to Japanese genre giants like Acid Mother Temples and the Far East Family Band. But far from being retro focused, they create refreshingly contemporary music. With their first eponymous album, Kikagaku Moyo they found their way into the hearts and Instagram feeds of the psychedelic scene. Then came more albums (most recently, 2018’s »Masana Temples«), tours and festival performances around the world, in which they masterfully freed listeners’ minds and bodies, and looked damn cool doing it. After a sold-out Hamburg concert at Hafenklang 2018, the psychedelic train will be pulling in to Kampnagel as part of the International Summer festival. Yōkoso! Support comes from Wax Machine from Brighton, who musically pay their respects to the West Coast sound of the 60s.
