Red Sky Wizard

Rock and Roll is dead. The dismal verdict is, that failing record sales and a wave of mass- produced popmusic and hiphop, has declined rock and roll into the shadows of oblivion. Luckily not everyone is faced by these dire prospects. There are still bands that are brave enough to put everything on the line; bands that dare to be different and have the guts to let the music be in charge. There is still somebody out there who does not conform to the recipe-soaked blandness of the popcharts. Proud to fan the flames of rock, Red Sky Wizard are one such band. Based in Copenhagen, this kick-ass, garage foursome puts the pedal to the metal with furious drums and adventurous bass lines bottoming a howlin’ twin-guitarred attack and delivers raw and authentic rock’n’roll in its very purest form! A welcoming break from the nondescript bands cloned by semi-major labels, that we have come to know all too well in the Danish music scene. Their inspiration comes from such distant places as New Zealand, where The Datsuns has their home turf as well as the brotherly shores of Sweden from where The Hellacopters used to spread their infectious craft. The sound of The Stooges, MC5, Sonics Rendevouz Band, The Sword, Black Sabbath and also heavier & psychedellic bands resonates with Red Sky Wizard... Following rigorous work in other bands, recording and on the road, Red Sky Wizard decided to channelize their creativity into their self-titled EP, released in 2013. Armed with this powerful weapon, the task at hand is to conquer the world and defend the faith of pure and unrefined guitar-driven rock. Comfortable on stage, Red Sky Wizard’s members have been playing together for eight years in different bands ( such as The Barlon Mandroes, Syreregn, Reborn Maggots and Prison Punk) and played over 1000 shows – always delivering performances saturated with energy, ambition and attitude.

They join a host of ‘Scandi-rock’ bands such as Graveyard, Förtress and Witchcraft in the new stonerrock era. They have their shit turned up to eleven!” Past shows: 19 Septemper - Råhuset, Cph (w/ Le Fox Holes) 4. Oktober - Lygten, Cph (w/ Loud 'n Rowdy, Alabama Black Snakes) 20.
