Samsara Blues Experiment

“These cats put on an extraordinary, mind altering MONSTER show! I cannot even put into words how mesmerizing their set was but I’ll try. They incorporate heavy, psychedelic rock with sludgy cosmic doom grooves and hard acid rock textures into a ridiculously, beautiful, mind altering JAM! This band was on fire and their set was absolutely amazing. Each song had so many layers and I never wanted any of them to end.

I felt their entire vibe throughout my body. I fully immersed myself into their groove and just let them take me for a ride. AND what a ride it was. My eyes were basically closed for their entire set so I could really feel their music and it was a spectacular experience. When they finally ended my entire body was vibrating and I was in complete awe. All in all, I will definitely catch these guys again when I can.”

SAMSARA BLUES EXPERIMENT are a Berlin based band, founded in Summer 2007 by leadguitarist/singer Christian Peters. They went through several changes in the first period but are in constant line-up since September 2008 featuring Hans Eiselt (guitar), drummer Thomas Vedder and Richard Behrens (bass). As the band name implies three elemental aspects are to notice - the blues as the fundament where it all comes from, the inclusion of spiritual influences accompanied by Indian/raga music and the experimental approach to mix up varied elements in a convincing manner.

The band's songs are dominated by a playful dual guitar work as well as a passionate blend of heavy psych, stoner and space rock. This is provided with several nuances and transitions in between - quite retro styled, jamming, even sometimes worked out with a repetitive hypnotic touch in the tradition of krautrock. The band produced two appetizer EP's and intensively toured Europe as well as the US-Westcoast in order to reach for the appropriate condition to record a full album.

World In Sound released the long awaited debut 'Long Distance Trip' in March 2010 which finally offers the band's potential. SAMSARA BLUES EXPERIMENT are a demanded live band in the meanwhile and participate at many European festivals, Roadburn, Yellowstock and Burg Herzberg to name a few. (from www.progarchives.com)
