This year's Praise The Fuzz Festival in the Lohr Stadthalle, which took place on Saturday, once again attracted music enthusiasts. A year ago as a small festival, the event has already developed into a respected meeting point for fans of the genre in Europe. The organization of the festival is located in the hands of the city of Lohr and the Sound of Liberation group, which together ensured an impressive lineup.

The management of the cultural and tourism office, Thomas Funck, and Matthai's "Matte" Vandeven have ensured that visitors enjoyed numerous talented bands. With acts like Heavy Psych Walzen from Vienna, Lurch from Austria, the Greek band Naxatras and the Bostonern Magic Shippe, the festival offered a variety of musical performances.

diverse musical performances

The concert day recalled the 1970s, with a touch of Woodstock and a mixture of established and emerging artists. It should be emphasized that women played the main musical role in several bands - a clear requirement of the organizers.

outside in front of the town hall, the Electric Jugs created a mood with an energetic garage punk appearance. In the hall, the band Lurch then set accents with their music: their rock magic was able to inspire the audience. Cement, another band of the evening, merged Krautrock, Psychedelic Rock and Noise Rock in their powerful appearances.

Magic Shope from Boston impressed with a mix of retro elements and futuristic sounds, whereby the band often worked with distortion and reverb to define their sound. The Dharma Chain surprised her audience with an unconventional concept, as they performed without a fixed lead singer and constantly changing the positions of the musicians. This resulted in a harmonious interplay that captivated the visitors.

The Italian band The Gluts presented itself as a loud post-punk and psychedelic band, while Naxatras with hypnotizing melodies and urgent guitar solos tore the crowd. The end of the festival was made by the Munich band Color Haze, which is considered an institution in the German psychedelic and heavy rock scene. Their game was hidden from sound landscapes that were in constant interaction: gentle, quiet melodies alternated with intensive, driving rhythms and captivating grooves.

The spectators were enthusiastic. Roman Vogel (36) from Karsbach praised the selection of the bands that created an incomparable mood. Marie Gerlard (24) also said positively about the mix of psychedelic and stoner rock during the concert. Especially for Benny Scherpf (29) from Kitzingen, the appearance of Naxatras was a highlight for which he had traveled. "The organizers have proven a good hand when compiling the program," said Scherpf. Rolf Pöhlmann (62) from Schweinfurt also visited the festival regularly and could not miss the opportunity to enjoy the time with the colorful program. Marina Amthor (39) from Karlburg, a long -time supporter of Color Haze, was also enthusiastic. The Munich band celebrated its 30th anniversary this year and played for the first time in Spessart Stoner Rock.

The successful evening illustrates the potential and attraction of the Praise the Fuzz Festival, which has firmly established itself in the event calendar of music fans. With a diverse program and talented artists, it remains a must-see for every lover of the genre. More information about the bands and the appearances are
