Line-up and Artists: Secret Machines

Secret Machines played on Friday. Check our line-up & artists section to find out which stage and who else played.

Brandon (vocals/keys/bass), along with his brother Ben (guitar) and Josh Garza (drums), make up New York City’s Secret Machines. A power trio who, inspired by everything from The Flaming Lips, Bob Dylan and Kraut rock, create a swirling canvas of brooding beats, soaring guitars and soulful Rhodes piano. Their music is psychedelic, the songs are long and building, prog even, but totally free of any bloated self-indulgence. In short, they’re far more than another posturing punk-rock band from New York.

After hyping this band to all my friends they came along with me slightly sceptical. At the end of it they were all raving about how great they thought they were and how glad they were to see them. These guys really rocked live and the whole band play like maniacs - especially Josh Garza, the drummer. :) One of many highlights of the festival for me.
