@cwrwbar are excited to announce Karma Sheen as headliners this August, supported by Waterpistol and Mascot Moth.
Hailing from cosmopolitan London, the music of
@karma_sheen merges Hindustani Classical, fuzzy 60s Rock à la Jimi Hendrix and Sufi inspired lyricism, deeply rooted in cultural heritage. Spearheaded by Sameer Khan who’s formally trained by a 600-year-old lineage of musicians from modern-day Pakistan, this group of multi-instrumentalists aims to bring timeless tradition to new realms. By daring to embrace the Hindustani format while drinking from retro aesthetics and resignifying it all with the avant-gardism of neo-psych, they create something both recognizable and new. Having released their self-titled debut album last year, the group became known for their captivating performances fuelled by a plethora of electrified folk instruments, and increasingly gained space in the live circuit, supporting established acts such as Witch, Os Mutantes, Dur Dur Band and Sarathy Korwar.
Karma Sheen will be joined by returning rock ‘n’ roll collective
@waterpistolband , taking inspiration from the likes of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Marty Robbins and The Mamas and Papas to create a sonic explosion of jazz, blues and celestial shoegaze.
Further support comes from
@mascotmoth , an experimentally-minded three-piece based in Llanfyllin, Mid-Wales. They play psychedelic rock that is insidious and beautiful, full of brilliant surprises, gear changes, experimentation and great energy. Listening to their music feels like exploring a stranger’s mind, wandering through organic corridors looking for meaning in the depths of the psyche and trying to make sense of a confusing world and your place in it. It’s moody and bluesy, but not without humour and joy.
