A winter festival night of freakbeat, psych and garage punk in Folkestone, with three great bands!
The Embrooks Formed at the tail end of 1996, The Embrooks were initially influenced by the moody, minor key mid-60s US garage sound common to the New England areaThey released an LP ("Separations") and two singles before shifting toward the tougher UK and European freakbeat sound of the same eraThis period produced two standout singles and their best-known album "Our New Day"The band toured extensively across the UK, Europe, the US and Canada, appearing at major underground festivalsTheir later album "Yellow Glass Perspectives" introduced more psychedelic elements while retaining their aggressive mod-rock edgeAfter disbanding in 2005, they reformed in 2016, releasing multiple singles and the album "We Who Are" in 2018A brand new LP is expected in 2026The UK’s favourite freakbeat trio return to Folkestone
Picture Box Formed in Canterbury, Picture Box have released four albumsLed by songwriter Robert Halcrow, their music blends Syd Barrett-style psychedelia, Blur, the Canterbury scene, indie fuzz and motorik freakoutsKnown for surreal storytelling and engaging live performances, they have recently been active through Canterbury Arts Lab showsTheir sound is sometimes sinister, sometimes melancholy, often odd and always engaging
The Beatpack Formed to play wild teenage rock’n’roll, 60s garage punk, rhythm and blues and raw blues, The Beatpack have existed in various forms for over thirty years, with a long hiatus in betweenEarly releases included a single, EP and album, followed by touring before disappearingSince reforming in 2012, they have released further singles, EPs and albums and toured internationallyTheir live shows are famously chaotic, unpredictable and high-energy
