Elemental Festival - A four day, strictly grassroots music festival at Hangar 18 Music Venue in the heart of Swansea City Centre
Thursday Line-up
Broken Lines: Returning to AREA SA1 for a 2nd time, Broken lines cross a few genres from an almost 80's goth/new wave feel like 'The cult' at times but dipping into the psychedilic swirls of Hawkwind.
Jerry Williams Band: Swanseas oracle of knowledge when it comes to obscure music, they'll be juiced up after watching the previous act.
Deadedz: Imported directly from california Donnies put together a four piece band playing a 40 minute rendition of Dark Star
Space Otter: Husband & Wife duo, smooth and silky spacey vibes
Peter Crow: Veteran of the Swansea music scene opening the festival with some original spacey goodness, electric sax/oboe truly unique.
Friday Line-up
Cranial Separation: You know I mentioned the thin end of the wedge.....Well it don't get much thicker or heavier than this. Fans of criiplingly heavy metal are catered for in spades.
Ginger Lizards: Now a five piece band with some great line up additions and definitely one to watch. Classic Metal sound reminiscent of the big four with bags of energy in their live show.
Kinky Wizzards: Instrumental Jazz metal fusion trio who are imho THE most talent musicians you'll find this side of the bridge. Just spectacular, mesmerising, effortless.
Pyrogaric: Haunting vocals, pounding drums, Big guitars. We're gonna ease you in with the thin edge of the wedge.
Saturday Line-up
Bullitt & Company: A special gathering of 'Bullitt family' musicians playing a selection of Bluesy jams. 8 musicians confirmed so far but theres always room for more. 4/5ths of Swansea Band Bigfeat backing a series of guest appearances and stage invasions. Could get swampy.
Ken Woods' Old Blue Gang: Where Psychedelic Blues Highway meets Cosmic Cowboy Road, there you will hear The Old Blue Gang jamming songs about love and betrayal, friendship and murder, the Old West and the present day
Blue Evolution: Taking it to the Bridge.....Bridgend that is, looking forward to seeing this great band for the first time
Ron Savory and Liz Crippin: Two thirds of Eclectic Shed Experience starting off our Saturday as we gently float down the Mississipi listening to their amazing harmonies
Sunday Line-up
The Groundnuts & Independents: The Glue, the linch pin, the long time defenders of the Swansea Punk scene. An hounour to host them and couldn't have done it without their help
Kikker: Popular local band and righfully so, I saw these guys playing a few months back and their show is amazing. Super nice dudes too.
The Boneless Ones: Psych/surf/garage/80s Skate Rock......Now that's the Shizz
