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 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 and the amazing Witchcraft on London dates. They have also played at festivals across the UK and Europe.
Their debut CD "You Are Here", released on Space Music, has 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" is due for release in August 2009, again on Rise Above Records, and is already receiving excellent reviews.
A massively powerful live presence, Litmus need to be seen to be believed!

As you may or may not be aware SoundARC hold a charity gig every year at Club 85 in Hitchin in aid of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, and this year we are going to try something a little different from previous years.
This year we are going to take over the club and host 37 acts in one weekend putting full bands upstairs and acoustic acts downstairs in an event that we are calling ARCfest!
It all starts on Friday 4th December at 7pm and then continues on through Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th from 12pm-11pm
As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see don’t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember!
