Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Mighty psych n’ noise five-bander here to clobber Dareshack! Mexico’s Sunset Images are a whirlwind of distortion propelled by driving krautrocky percussion and pure punk rage, while co-headliners DAIISTAR's irresistible Texan neo-psychedelia channels a shoegaze Stone Roses. Get down early for big support from locals The Rothmans, Windshake and TV Wife."

Who can blame us,
for searching the stars?
Who can hear us,
as we call from afar?
Sunset Images
Multi-instrumentalist Samuel Osorio’s fervent guitar and bass performance and tortured vocals have established a core around which chaos is order and volume is paramount, and the final results stand in sharp contrast to the laid back expectations conjured by the band’s moniker. The foundational influences here are krautrock, punk and shoegaze but Sunset Images takes the ideas embodied by those genres and drives them through a wall into a realm that entertains only their noisiest inclinations.
Throughout its career, the band has toured globally encompassing South and North America, Europe and Asia. Performing at international Festivals such as Dunk! (Belgium), SpaceFest! (Poland), Out in the Streets (New York), FreakOut Festival (Seattle) Psyched! Fest (San Francisco) Festival Integraciones (Lima, Perú) Festival Hipnosis (Mexico) and has shared stages with notorious acts like Mogwai, Boris, Godflesh, God is an Astronaut, Bo Ningen, Acid Mothers Temple, HIDE, Nadja, The Asteroid No. 4, Rakta, Deafkids and many many more…
DAIISTAR
DAIISTAR is a Noise-Pop/Alt Indie band formed in Austin, Texas in the spring of 2020. The band takes their inspiration from the neo psychedelic era of the 80s and 90s (The Jesus and Mary Chain, Spacemen 3, early Primal Scream) and pulls it into the future with modulating synthesizers, heavy guitars, bouncing bass lines, and spiraling hooks, creating a narcotic blend of noise and melody. DAIISTAR recently recorded their first studio album produced by Alex Maas of The Black Angels and engineered by James Petralli of White Denim. The band has signed to UK based label Fuzz Club Records, with whom they released their debut album GOOD TIME which they will be celebrating on this tour.

Windshake
Emerging from the cultural melting pot of Bristol's vibrant underground scene, WINDSHAKE embodies the unbounded frontiers of musical exploration. This audacious six-piece collective rejects conformity, drawing inspiration from the raw essence of youth culture to craft music that plumbs the depths of the human mind. Their debut album, 'Waking Moment,' a fusion of Psych-folk and distinct songwriting, laid the foundation for their forthcoming musical odyssey.
TV Wife
3-piece TV Wife formed in mid 2023, having spent the year honing their post-hardcore sound ready for it to be unleashed on the world. Get ready for a whirlwind of a performance, with aggressively intense energy driving forward a perfectly executed representation of the genre.
