MIEN: European tour dates

Canadian psychedelic rock band MIEN have a couple of shows coming up in Europe, playing shows in the UK, France and The Netherlands.

Alex Maas (vocals, samples, loops - The Black Angels), Tom Furse (keyboards, programming - The Horrors), Rishi Dhir (bass, sitar, keyboards - Elephant Stone) and John-Mark Lapham (keyboards, samples, programming- The Earlies) mix an Eighties industrial drum sound with Sixties melodies, a clash of styles that works out pretty good. Dark and foreboding, but served with elegance.

MIEN: Earth Moon

Psychedelic rock band MIEN are sharing Earth Moon, another single of their self-titled debut album (out on Rocket Recordings on April 6th).

Alex Maas (vocals, samples, loops - The Black Angels), Tom Furse (keyboards, programming - The Horrors), Rishi Dhir (bass, sitar, keyboards - Elephant Stone) and John-Mark Lapham (keyboards, samples, programming- The Earlies) take it slow on this one, mixing the key elements of Wets Coast and English Sixties psychedelica.

Live date:

• 04/28 Austin, TX @ Stubb's Bar-B-Q
