Litmus

Bio:

Litmus ARE spacerock for the 21st century. A collection of throbbing bass, pounding drums, searing guitar, swirling keyboards and screeching electronics, they are here to open heads and recalibrate minds.

Live shows are an audio-visual extravaganza of projections, images and sounds, all taking the audience on a journey to the far reaches of both outer and inner space.

Litmus have supported Astra, Witchcraft, Hawkwind, Space Ritual, the Ozric Tentacles and Arthur (The God of Hellfire) Brown. In January 2005, they were the tour support for Julian Cope on his UK tour. They played in 2002 and 2003 at Hawkwind's Hawkfest festival (appearing twice in 2003!) and have appeared twice at the legendary Roadburn Festival as well as supporting Space Ritual, American stoner rockers the Atomic Bitchwax, the amazing Witchcraft and neo-Prog sensations Astra on London dates. They have also played at festivals across the UK and Europe including Burg Herzberg, South of Mainstream, Stoned From The Underground and Two Days of Love and Peace.

Their debut CD "You Are Here", released on Space Music, received massively positive reviews from, among others, Julian Cope, the Organ, Aural Innovations, Head Heritage, Live 4 metal and Terrorizer Magazine.

The band's second CD "Planetfall" was released on Rise Above Records in April 2007 to great reviews from the music press, including Rocksound, Kerrang, Metal Hammer and Terrorizer.

The third album "Aurora" was released in August 2009, again on Rise Above Records, and received excellent reviews from the usual metal mags plus Classic Rock. Kerrang, however, hated it, which was a bit of a relief really!

A massively powerful live presence, Litmus need to be seen to be believed!
