Goldray
Goldray is Kenwyn House from Reef's new band with vocalist Leah Rasmussen and Geoff Laurens on bass guitar. They enjoyed a successful 2014 with the self release of their debut self titled Mini LP. The LP has been met with critical acclaim from major rock titles such as Classic Rock Magazine and PROG Magazine, among others. The release was preceded by the band's first single, 'Outloud' which has received radio support from Planet Rock Radio on Phil Alexander's Mojo Rocks Show, BBC Introducing, as well as regional rock radio across the country.

Goldray's riff-driven psychedelic whoosh owes as much to the Airplane and Jim Morrison's bunch as it does to modern-day outriders such as Tame Impala and Eternal Tapestry. Rasmussen's gorgeous,
swooping vocals echo the experimental bent of House's arrangements." PROG Magazine
"Pitch together the moodiness of The Doors, the grooviness of Cream and the trippiness of early Floyd and you get this splendid prog 'n' psych magical carpet ride... a highly enjoyable journey" - Classic Rock Magazine
"A blend of Zeppelin and Kate Bush, on record they make an intriguing sound that mixes flashes of muscular rock - not a million miles from House's 'other' band Reef - with a stylish hybrid of prog and psych" - PROG Magazine
"Reef producer Clive Martin lends a hand, giving a wonderful atmosphere to proceedings, where the voice of Leah Rasmussen thrives in a breathy ethereal manner...fragile, beautiful and involved." - Fireworks Magazine
"Sounding like Yeah Yeah Yeahs going toe-to-toe with Queens Of The Stone Age, Goldray combine sensual, serpentine vocals with primal, bone-rattling guitar riffs the resulting sumptuous concoction gives off the sizzle of British grit, with subtle psychedelic aromas." - Electric Banana
"They really nail their 60s, psychedelic sound right from the off...dynamic passages complete with backmasked sounds and vocal shimmers. Impressive stuff." - Hit The Floor
"the musical talent oozing through Goldray is simply fantastic" - AlternativeVision.co.uk
Crystal Head
Following a brief hiatus, rock band Crystal Head return to the London scene after a year of shows in mainland Europe, including a slot at this year's Desertfest in Belgium. With a new record in the Warand 2016 tour dates to be a no need, the wheels are back in motion for this hard hitting outfit!

BIO
Originally starting the band in Colombia, Ivan (Guitars/Vocals) moved to the UK to progress his vision of Opensight. Joining with Genia (guitars), Danni (bass) and finally Redd (drums) the combined styles formed the sound of the present day Opensight. With influences from across musical genres, what started life as a prog metal focused band has evolved into a more dynamic concept, combining the energy of metal, the sophistication of progressive rock and the dramatic edge of film music.
Over the past two years, Opensight have enjoyed playing many great shows including Chaos Theory Music's 'The Facemelter' and the 'Road To Bloodstock Metal To The Masses 2014', where the band went through to the semifinals, gaining exposure on some of the UK's prime media outlets such as TBFM and Metalmouth, and sharing the stage with great bands like Sumer, Darkeye and Jackknife Seizure. Recently, the signature cinematic sound has been further explored with the recording of new material for a new 5 song recording entitled Ulterior Motives, and some forthcoming extra features to be released soon.
