Ahkmed: Roadburn 2010 audio stream on line!

Posted on Friday, July 2nd, 2010

We are pleased to announce that VPRO 3voor12, which is the leading cultural media network in the Netherlands, has posted the additional on-demand audio stream of AHKMED, along with CAPITAL SENTIMENTAL for your Roadburn 2010 listening pleasure.

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.

Capital Sentimental take the best elements of Hawkwind and Ozric Tentacles and blend it with a bluesy, experimental edge a la Captain Beefheart.
