In the year 2012, Satan faces declining popularity and certain defeat at the hands of thee reinvigorated Christian Militia. As the final days before the apocalypse tick down, Satan makes a last ditch effort to win the war for evil. He sends back his favorite band of psychotic, LSD-soaked, metaphysically amorphous androids to recruit kids for the dark side through space, drugs, and rock and roll. That band is known as thee mighty, electric Blood Beach.
Psychedelic acid rock-band from Japan. High Rise is an explosive power trio comprised of bassist/vocalist asahito nanjo (南条麻人), guitarist Munehiro Narita, and a succession of drummers that has included Yuro Ujiie and Pill in the past and free-improv veteran Shoji Hano at present. High Rise mixes the jazz-influenced improvising of Cream with the brutal amphetamine-inspired rock of Blue Cheer. Narita is one of rock's unsung guitar players, and his dexterous fingering incites eruptions of pure electric joy in his listeners.

Psychedelic stargazers The Electric Mainline were formed in London in October 2004 by Scott Causer.

Formed way back in 2003 and originally a three piece unit (guitar, baritone and drums with shared vocals out front). The three self released the 'discover mutiny ep', ltd to a 100 copies and sold in hand made artwork. In 2005 three became four with the addition of a bass player and the baritone was soon switched for guitar. The sound quickly broadened out and developed beyond noisy hardcore rock. The four released an album of 7 songs in 2005 some of which were re-working of songs found on the ep. This was also called 'discover mutiny'.
