The FUNGUS BRAIN FESTIVAL is a showcase event celebrating the alluring crossover between the twin pillars of Psych Rock and Post Rock, both of which have developed a hardcore following of passionate devotees over the last decade or so, especially here in Melbourne/Naarm. Stylistically, the connection is within the ambience – the predilection to open a doorway of otherworldliness, a trip into the ethereal. But like all good trips, there are highlights and climaxes, and these nine bands most certainly deliver their fair share of adrenalin as well.
