EINDHOVEN 🇳🇱 De Effenaar
Eindhoven Psych Lab 2015
w/ RMFTM (Collaborative set)
We were kindly invited by Radar Men From The Moon to spend a few days with them in Eindhoven, to develop and record a collaborative piece, which we then performed at Eindhoven Psych Lab.
A full line-up of eight musicians!

"Thank your random deity for the storm that breaks outside, the sweltering heat finally seems to gradually dissipate. It’s not the only storm breaking this evening, because in the Observatory an unusual performance is taking place. As an introduction a happy hardcore track from the nineties is playing, giving the vibe of stranger things to come for this collaborative performance of Eindhoven’s own Radar Men From The Moon and The Cosmic Dead. Both were highlights of the first edition of Psych Lab, so together on the stage would appear an interesting mix. The first band known for spinning out their sonic constructions endlessly, creating static, spacy sounds in contrast with the chaotic build-up to a final explosion of the Scottish band. The explosion is exactly how the group starts their set of mind blowing sound. The volume is already intense, but so is the way the groups bring down a cosmic trip for almost 45 minutes. The combined sound is exactly what you would think it’d be: a rhythmic train that shakes, bumps, screeches and rambles on, like it can barely contain itself. Sure, the music is hardly tight, but what can you expect after one rehearsal session. The result is a sweaty, dirty, danceable set of unstable chemicals, creating an unlikely highlight to the festival." - Sleeping Shaman
"Now, since I saw the line-up announcements for this weekend, I knew this next one was going to be special. Not one, but two bands take to the stage in the Observatory for a one-off performance; Radar Men from the Moon vs The Cosmic Dead: hit, quit, rave, repeat. The bands ask for complete silence before unleashing a wall of noise on the crowd – the effect is mind blowing. Seven musicians fill the stage and all elements work in complete harmony and fill the air with something that quite simply cannot be put into words. I am left completely speechless by this performance. To say these guys have only had two rehearsals together and to come up with that – well, I salute you. After witnessing that, it’s going to take something incredible to beat it today." - Silent Radio
