MAQUINA (also Maquiiina) are creating a massive buzz on the modern psych scene. The trio, from Lisbon, are only playing a few gigs in England when they tour in September 2024 and we're stoked to get them to Northampton. Their high octane beat led maelstrom taking cues from krautrock, EBM and techno.They've just released their new album PRATA (released April 2024). Far Out quote - 'To bring the band’s modus operandi into focus, their name translates to ‘Machine’ in their native Portuguese, with prata translating to ‘Silver’ – an apt colour for a world increasingly reliant on computers. This aspect, when combined with the almost automated human drum beats and unsettling vocals of Halison, the unrelenting, gritty bass grooves of Tomás and the wall of sound guitarist João elicits from his fretboard and other FX, creates a definitive mood, and one that is perfect for hitting the gym or the dancefloor.'
