gig
held at Moor Beer Co
on Friday 19th September. The event starts at 20:00.
We welcome the psychedelic art-pop sextet on tour in support of their new album - Chaos Era.
2023 saw the release of Thank You for Your Time alongside a huge 18 date UK & European tour, alongside a host of festival appearances. They also expanded their sound in the cracks of their city, crafting their unique combination of a powerful groove-laden rhythm section, jangly guitars, theremin-esque synths & booming organs, all held together with the ethereal, honeyed vocals of Chamberlain. Krauty & latin-esque grooves found their way to bigger stages and powerful psych-pop garage floor fillers saw them filling rooms, creating chaos & hypnotic states in equal measure.
All this eventually culminated in 2024 when they embarked to the remote Welsh countryside to record their debut album, fuelled by honeysuckle champagne in a befitting heatwave. Sat atop sheepskins they sweated through the days with valves glowing and tapes scratching. Chaos Era is Midnight Rodeo’s tale up until now, exhuming their chaotic alter egos, uprooting lives to birth something completely afresh, all the while consolidating their enthralling bond.
“Chaos Era” is set for release July 2025 on FatCat Records (Sigur Rós, Animal Collective, Frightened Rabbit, The Twilight Sad, We Were Promised Jetpacks), having been mixed by Grammy award winning mixing engineer Claudius Mittendorfer (Sorry, Temples, Parquet Courts) and mastered by John Webber (David Bowie, Ash, Coach Party, Junodream). The album will be accompanied by a UK & European tour in September & October 2025.

"A multi-faceted piece of woozy surf pop, the Morricone guitars slice through those heavenly vocals, while the heavyweight percussion surges to its grand finale." Clash
“sharp-shootin’ psych-pop” Clash
“Spongy cinematic trip...wispy surf rock” So Young
“A modern day psych-pop classic” Under The Radar
"The kind of sounds that Midnight Rodeo magic up here are so elegantly formed and tastefully conceived – like a gorgeous fusion of Los Bitchos and La Luz – it could easily have sprung from the hippy kingdoms of California, Melbourne, or mainland Europe." Hard of Hearing
