THE SHIVAS – Café Afsnis, Ghent, Belgium – 24 May 2017

My hometown Ghent (Belgium) is a paradise for national and international alternative music. Yearly you can attend countless small festivals giving a podium to all genres of enthralling non-mainstream music. Fabtastic! Yesterday another new event was organized for the very first time. PSYCH OVER 9000 (9000 : postal code of Ghent) presented ten – you already guessed it – psychedelia fueled bands from different continents. It was a really hot (temperature) night with several hot (performances) acts! One of them: the stellar trio THE SHIVAS from Oregon, Portland. After seeing/hearing them going berserk I’m quite sure they are the gloriously noisy grandchildren from garage rock legends THE SONICS . Wow! Their live set was steamy, swinging and smoking from the very first kick. This footage will give you an idea about their intensity and glowing fever…

Don’t’ miss this heated three-piece when they invade your neighbourhood. They are on a holy mission to turn you on. Trust me, they can and they will, they showed it yesterday …
