Perth, Australia's Psychedelic Porn Crumpets last week announced they had been forced to reschedule their upcoming US tour but luckily were able to reschedule and will be back in North America this fall. The new dates are already selling quickly with some shows already sold out. 

For those who can’t make it out to one of their spellbinding performances, Austin’s Levitation Festival has teamed up with the band to deliver a special virtual live show on April 30th. The psychedelic rock n roll machine will rip through a full platter of their high-speed tunes, shot in two locations and heralding their new LP, Night Gnomes. Crunchy riffage, addictive melodies and no-holds barred psychedelia is on tap!

Show premieres April 30 at 7pm CT. with FR*EE Stream Tickets + vinyl + merch bundles & info here: http://bit.ly/PPCsesh. * Use the code “SESHIES22” during checkout. 

In addition to the live performance film stream, the performance is being pressed on limited edition vinyl and commemorative artwork by Sean Bernhardt AKA The Space Bat Killer is available on screen printed posters signed by the band, limited edition cassettes, t-shirts, and tie dye tees! Get your hands on the good stuff at the link above.

Last week the band also dropped another new song taken from their forthcoming album, Night GnomesBob Holiday” is a grimy, rustic track that pays homage to classic riffs McEwan remembers from his youth, like Lenny Kravitz’s “Are You Gonna Go My Way.” The band have already given fans a taste of what to expect from the forthcoming album with the tracks “Bubblegum Infinity,” “Dread & Butter” and “Lava Lamp Pisco.”

More on Night Gnomes…. 

That devil-may-care spirit is present on each and every song on Night Gnomes. With guitarist Luke Parish, drummer Danny Caddy, bassist Wayon Billondana and multi-instrumentalist Chris Young by his side, McEwan bunkered down in his home studio, creating a sonic pastiche that almost sounds like turning the dial on a temperamental old radio every few minutes.

“A lot of these songs are structured from the beginning, but then we add another part towards the end to really keep it interesting, even if it’s just for ourselves,” he says of the project, which was recorded at McEwan’s home studio in and around Perth. “Like on Fleet Foxes’ “Helplessness Blues,” every song has an ending that is completely different than the first part. That was the idea here.”

For all of its varied vibes, the album never skimps on massive rockers sure to delight Psychedelic Porn Crumpets fans across the world in 2022. 

With the pandemic having provided McEwan the chance to “get my life together and get healthy,” not to mention move 200 meters from his favorite pub, he and his bandmates will soon be onto their next musical adventure. But exploring the undiscovered territory of Night Gnomes has already made a major impact on its creators.

“I have no idea what I’m doing half the time,” McEwan says. “It’s like, plugin, record. Why does this sound like shit but this other thing works? I needed five albums to get to this point of revealing some golden nuggets of information about dynamics, production and exploring new sounds. Everyone finds fault in their own work, but that’s probably what makes us want to keep creating.
