“Liverpool’s Mugstar are one of the most respected psychedelia bands in the UK.
The group, who have been playing, performing and recording since 2003, are adored for their heavy psychedelic kraut-rock sound and intense live gigs. Mugstar’s first single Spotlight Over Memphis caught the ears of broadcaster John Peel and the band have never looked back, releasing a string of singles, EPs and albums.
They’ve also shown a tireless work ethic when it comes to playing live and earnt themselves a much-deserved status as cult heroes. Mugstar were again one of the highlights of this year’s Liverpool International Festival Of Psychedelia while latest records AXIS and Centralia are perhaps their best yet.
The band have also chosen to embark on a different path of live film soundtracking. Earlier this year the group provided the music to Ho Tzu Nyen’s Earth, the Singapore-based director’s imagining of a future post-disaster.
