Unique & Immersive Music Festival to Launch in Wrexham

A new music festival promising a ‘unique audio visual immersive experience’ is to launch in Wrexham next month.

Summer of Love is a new one-day festival taking place on Saturday 12th September 2015 at Undegun Arts Space, Wrexham.

The event is a brand new festival promising visitors a ‘unique audio visual immersive experience’ and festival organisers have recruited a bespoke line up of fringe / experimental and psychedelic music makers to perform within the ‘environment’ created by a group of specially commissioned artists.

Described as ‘awakening the analogue spectre of a distant past’ the art group ‘DATAMOSH’ will create a ‘fully immersive experience’ within both floors of the host venue – using light, video projection, giant sculpture and actors, the artists promise an experience for visitors which will leave the outside world seeming a million miles away once the threshold is crossed.

The music line–up compliments this, and this year will include: PETE FOWLER – known best for his work with Super Furry Animals, Pete is a freelance illustrator and “monster creator” inspired by animals, music, folklore, myths, psychedelia and super nature, GULP – Guto Pryce (Super Furry Animals) and Lindsey Leven, with Gid Goundrey providing guitar and Stuart Kidd on drums. Fuzzed-up bass, dream-pop vocals, acoustic and electronic drums and synths… BY THE SEA – Wirral based band, described by Bill Ryder-Jones (THE CORAL) as “I like them, they’re the least pretentious band I’ve ever met, and it shows in their music.” Alongside many other electronic, psychedelic, and experimental performances.

Including a groundbreaking ‘Hidden Music’ performance where un-announced musicians will perform an exclusive piece of music in three movements from behind a screen, their identities and instruments all but hidden from the audience other than their silhouettes!

Summer Of Love also has a cinema element, with Alejandro Jodorowsky’s classic psychedelic film THE HOLY MOUNTAIN being screened at the event, as well as an exclusive showing of JODOROWSKY’S DUNE, a documentary by Frank Pavich which explores Jodorowsky’s attempt to make the Dune motion picture, a project since described as ‘The greatest movie never made’.

The Inaugural Summer of Love takes place on Saturday 12th September 2015 at Undegun, Wrexham, North Wales. Tickets are available now at: www.summeroflovefestival.com for £12 each.
