FOGDRIVER

...when sound and image create a fog that temporarily dissolves the boundaries of space and time.

FOGDRIVER are a band that create head cinema, working with sound and visuals inseparably as one. They brew their own instrumental psychedelic, post-rock and stoner rock fog soup and support this live with spherical visuals. Various sound effects on guitar and bass, surrounded by synthesizers and samples, create musical formations that gradually develop, layer and separate again like small organisms. The straight drums form a perfect basis for this, unobtrusive yet accentuated. Live, this performance, supported by spherical visuals, culminates in a journey that makes you forget space and time. Floods of images, slow motion, close-ups of insects and lizards, color overdriven visuals, repetitive movements create a live experience of a different kind. Fogdriver always leave an enthusiastic audience at their concerts - across all age and genre groups.
