Clavius Productions presents an evening of guitar-driven psychedelia encompassing various subgenres of rock including avant-jazz, acid folk, prog, space rock and shoegaze, featuring bands with unique original compositions, fresh takes on cover material and a large dose of progressive improvisation.
Hailing from Philadelphia, Henbane (members of Kohoutek/The Deadeyes/Bitter Wish) formed in May 2023 with the concept of using the Fairport Convention blueprint to explore traditional folk ballads and originals but with a modern approach.
Also hailing from Philly, quartet Heaven Man draws inspiration from the revolutionary sounds of '60s psych rock, early garage, and Krautrock, offering a modern twist reminiscent of artists like Chris Forsyth, My Morning Jacket, Garcia Peoples and William Tyler.
And coming from DC and NYC is trio ZAM, making their local debut and featuring the jaw-dropping guitar wizardry of Anthony Pirog of the Messthetics (which sees Fugazi's rhythm section joining Pirog). Rooted in structured improvisation and stretching the boundaries of genre, ZAM plays "hard ambient music" navigating through noise, rock, ambient, new age, glitch, drone, hardcore, sludge, psychedelia, electronica and free music. Their debut LP on Ramble Records, Waves of Seeing, sees the trio connect several genres with a cinematic sensibility, swirling with electromagnetic aberrations, sometimes in grueling opposition and sometimes in delicate, meditative sympathy.
