GIG GUIDE // MAY<br />
GIG OF THE MONTH:<br />
DEATH & VANILLA<br />
<strong>Lewes</strong> Psych Fest and Melting Vinyl are bringing<br />
an exciting night of psychedelia to Westgate Chapel<br />
this month. Swedish cult-atmospheric trio Death and<br />
Vanilla utilise an array of vintage equipment (think<br />
vibraphone, organ, mellotron, moog) to create a<br />
wonderfully dreamy musical landscape. The music is<br />
eerily atmospheric, emulating the sounds of 60s/70s<br />
soundtracks, library music, German Krautrock,<br />
French Ye-ye pop and 60s psych. Support comes from<br />
Brighton band Hamilton Yarns, who return to <strong>Lewes</strong><br />
following a spectacular performance at this year’s<br />
Psych Fest.<br />
