Acid Rooster from Leipzig blast off into space like a textbook sonic joyride straight out of Alan Freeman’s The Crack in the Cosmic Egg. With a sound evoking the spirit of German kraut and psych rock pioneers, the instrumental tracks on their partially written and improvised albums often oscillate between slow-burning, spaced out jams and mind-bending climaxes that have earned them a stellar reputation for their captivating live shows. Demonstrating a striking level of instrumental tightness and intuitive improvisation, it is perhaps not surprising to learn that the three childhood friends Sebastian Väth (guitar), Max Leicht (bass, synthesizer) and Steffen Schmidt (drums, percussion) share a long history of rehearsing and jamming in their native hometown in southern germany. Praised by critics for the soaring cosmic drone-riffs and monolithic rhythm section on their self-titled debut "Acid Rooster" (2019), the band soon got invited to a string of shows and appearances at renown festivals such as LeGuessWho and Fusion Festival. They shared the stage with bands such as Kikagaku Moyo, Acid Mothers Temple, Föllakzoid or Bitchin Bajas. Their second EP "Irrlichter" (2021) was followed by several tours through europe and the UK, the release of the live album "Ad Astra" (2022) and their brand new full lenght studio album "Flowers & and Dead Souls" (2023).
