Roy and the Devils Motorcycle

Roy & the Devil's Motorcycle are a four piece from the middle of Switzerland. Legendary in their own circles, for the last 20 years they have gained obsessive fans, freaked out untold numbers and enjoyed most every Sunday playing together. The three brothers all play guitar and have somehow tapped into a powerful group-psychic force of earth and fire. Its solid but you can't grab hold of it.
Initially their influences seem obvious: old dusty blues records, dirty garage rock, Spacemen 3, Link Wray…but dig deeper and their love of Lee Perry, Souled American, Neil Michael Hagerty, Red Krayola, Godz (amongst many others) starts to show.
The "strangest brothers you are ever likely to meet" do things at their own pace. They are timelessly out-of-time; in their peculiar isolation, everything they touch is theirs and has a warped European feel - graceful decay and a fearless experimentalism from a strong identity.
They can be the best live band you'll ever see; a fluid conduit for whatever magic can come out of them and where they are at that point in time, where the audience is at that point in time. If you're ready, they'll fill you with outsider joy and rush you through a maelstrom of psychic power.
The alps are melting and the brothers are back on European tour april 6th to 21st. They come to deliver you their third album, "Tell It to the People" due for release 30th March 2012 on Voodoo Rhythm.
They're from small town switzerland (thats right, switzerland) and you can bet you've never heard anything like them before.
