We are very pleased to report that Australia’s Ahkmed, along with John Garcia sings Kyuss are among the confirmed bands for Saturday, April 17th 2010.
Ahkmed have taken Kyuss-infused space jams as a jumping off point and melded them with the sonic experiments of Pink Floyd and Hawkwind to create a unique antipodean stoner / post rock hybrid.
Careful listening will also reveal a hint of Loop and Mogwai in their musical universe as they specialize in juxtaposing heavy riffs with mellow soundscapes and layered effects, all stretched out over
gorgeously expansive songs.
“Having been around for over 10 years, we are thrilled to finally be making the long journey to europe for a short tour”, says drummer JP, “It is an absolute honour to be capping our tour off with a performance at Roadburn 2010. To play such an awesome festival in Holland is absolutely wicked!!”
