http://www.roadburn.com/2(...)narch-and-totimoshi/As you all may have noticed, the line-up for Roadburn Festival 2010 has been shaping up nicely. In addition to the bands previously announced, we are very happy to announce the following acts:
Taking his passion for early Johnny Winter and classic rock and adding some obscure influences like 50’s harmonica-driven blues, Bill Steer’s Firebird oozes the soulful hardrock sounds of the heavy 70’s.
We are extremely happy to welcome Firebird to the Roadburn stage again, as Bill Steel was suffering from food poisoning at last year’s additional afterburner event.
Hailing from Örebro, Sweden, Troubled Horse is comprised of Witchcraft’s Ola Henriksson (Bass/Back-up vocals) and John Hoyles (Guitar/Back-up vocals) along with Jens Henriksson (Drums/Percussion) and Martin Heppich (Guitar/Vocals). The band sports a distinctive, sinister, 60’s sounding garage rock vibe, combined with a taste of 70’s psych-doom, creating music that evokes The Kinks, Pentagram and Roky Erickson.
Black Math Horseman
Black Math Horseman
LA’s Black Math Horseman live somewhere between the psychedelic world of 70’s stoner and contemporary shoegazers which they adorn with touches of goth and post rock to create their mind altering sound.
Hailing from the dark reaches of France’s Basque Country, Monarch! spawned from the blackened shores to celebrate the cult of all that is slow and low, delivering a 13bpm black mass of feedback drenched funeral doom/sludge, influenced by the likes of Burning Witch, Corrupted, Darkthrone and Noothgrush. Fronted by shreiking banshee vocalist Emilie “Eurogirl” Bresson, Shiran Kaidin (Year of No Light) on guitar, and MicHell Bidegain (Gasmask Terror) on bass, the band is now backed by the psychedelic caveman drumming of Robert MacManus (of Australian noise-doomers Grey Daturas).

Monarch! has released a number of albums on labels such as Crucial Blast / Throne Records / 20 Buck Spin / Heathen Skulls, and have shared split records with Grey Daturas and UK doom masters Moss. The band is currently preparing 2 new studio albums, as well as a split record with US black-metallers Wolves In The Throne Room, due to coincide with their joint Australia tour coming February 2010.
Though Totimoshi doesn’t quite run the full length of the schizo-grunge gamut established by such left-field progenitors as the Melvins (with whom they’ve toured), their blend of Latin shred, garage-y war beats is so seamlessly melded into a single coherent attack, that it forces you to swallow the entire pill all at once.
Totimoshi
Totimoshi
Tony Aguilar’s near-pastoral vocal style blends with his gritty, bluesy fretwork. Totimoshi have finally and completely realized their full potential, settling into a groovily warped, peyote-soaked take on the kind of thunder blues and thud rock that defined the early ’70s and eventually gave way to grunge as we know it.
