Buke and Gass

Buke and Gass consists of Arone Dyer (buke and voice) and Aron Sanchez (drums and gass). As far as the name lingo, the buke is “a self-modified six string baritone ukelele” and the gass is “a guitar-bass hybrid.” They both handle all sorts of foot percussion also. Buke and Gass take great care of their sound, both in the delivery of their performance and tone of their unusual homemade instrumentation.

Michael Hargan

Glaswegian singer songwriter Michael Hargan will have you mesmerised during his live performance. Equally at home playing solo, with a band or a string quartet, no 2 shows are ever the same and his ability to turn a 3 minute song into a 15 minute improvisation is a focal point in his live show. Inspired by the spirit of bands like U2, Counting Crows, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and The Frames, Hargan takes hold of his audience during his live shows and let's them go when he decides.

Hexvessel

Hexvessel is a psychedelic folk-rock band that was founded by Englishman Mat "Kvohst" McNerney, vocalist for blackmetal bands Dødheimsgard and Code. He moved to Finland in 2009 and was joined by a coven of musicians from Tampere that feature members of Galacticka and Dark Buddha Rising. Fusing late 1960s and early 1970s English folk and psychedelia with a love for Finnish nature, pagan mysticism, folklore and the occult, they play a witches brew of acoustic balladry and heavy tripped-out atmospherics. Interior-world-music for secret ceremonies and forest rituals.
