L'un de mes groupes favoris de la scène heavy-underground française, RED SUN ATACAMA va bientôt partir pour sa première tournée au royaume-unis. Ils se produiront notamment à Londres à l'occasion du prochain @stoomfest aux côtés d'une programmation de 1er choix comme vous pouvez le constater sur l'affiche.

Pour en apprendre plus sur ce festival à taille humaine et qui mets vraiment la musique au coeur de ses préoccupations je vous conseille d'écouter le dernier épisode de @houroftheriff ou vous pourrez entendre Alexis de l'organisation (et aussi batteur du très bon groupe @sleepingmountainband) nous parler de ce festival qui fait envie. Et si vous êtes dans les environs de Londres les 25, 26 et 27 septembre prochain vous pouvez peut-être essayer de gagner un petit pass.

*HOUR OF THE RIFF - STOOMFEST SPECIAL*

Very grateful indeed to @doomcharts tastemaker and DJ Jonny Pirie over at @houroftheriff for giving our track ‘Red Flag’ an early spin as part of his @stoomfest special edition shining a light on this superb festival, and featuring an interview with Stoomfest (and @sleepingmountainband ) main man @alexhumanbeen which I would STRONGLY recommend that you check out.

It’s genuinely a fantastic episode which showcases so much incredible talent coming up at Stoomfest this year (and it was great to see our mates in @earl_of_hell getting a shout out & track spin too). Having attended so many times, actually playing this one with our friends in @earl_of_hell & @dunesncl & @mehiga_band & @thelunareffect & @sleepingmountainband is gonna be very special.

We are absolutely buzzing about appearing at this festival in what has been - without doubt - a massive year for us in 2026, getting signed to @blues.funeral , putting out a very well received debut album, appearing at our first @desertfest_london edition at @ourblackheart , and now following it up with a big Saturday appearance at @stoomfest at @thegaragehq - absolutely the stuff of dreams for a band like us that has grinded its way up from the DIY / underground circuit after many many years.

Big love to everyone out there and see you at Stoomfest!

PS We’ll be bringing a full swag bag with merch of every kind, so if you’ve been holding on getting a signed copy of ‘End of Days’ this will be your chance!

See you down the front! ✌️

*HOUR OF THE RIFF*

Huge thanks to Jonny Pirie of @houroftheriff for giving our album track ‘This Damned Place’ a spin on their latest episode alongside some absolutely banging heavy tracks - and with an into from @hellbillyblasko no less!

Was cool not only to hear one of the ‘deep cuts’ from our album getting some fresh airtime (there had been talk of whether or not to even include it on the vinyl at one point, such was the battle for space!) but to see this track getting some real love at our live shows too. People seem to dig the doominess and weight of the riffs in particular.

Even cooler, our track followed straight on from the newly released track ‘Necropolitan Line’ from from fellow Londoners @greenlungband and still totally held up against it I reckon.

What do you think?! Drop us a comment below!
