Temple Fang- " Lifted From The Wind " Tour 2025

Temple Fang- " Lifted From The Wind " Tour 2025

Hailing from Amsterdam, the Dutch quartet has been steadily destroying stages and enchanting
audiences since 2018 with their hard hitting yet elegant longform compositions, building an
enormous reputation for themselves as a live band that always delivers and never repeats itself.
Freak Valley, Roadburn, Desertfest, Sonic Blast, Palp, Krach am Bach, Sonic Whip and many
more festivals were all brought under the spell of these Dutch psych wizards.
Essentially operating as a DIY collective, the band has been putting out records themselves with
the help of their friends of Electric Spark, focusing mainly on live recordings, as the band
considered themselves an alive and breathing organism not to be confined to ‘definite’ versions
of their songs as they would appear on a studio record.
The band’s 2021 release “Fang Temple” was approached as a hybrid of live and studio, with the
band taking recordings of shows as a base to work off of in the studio, and was met by rave
reviews by critics and fans, taking even the band by surprise.
They took it one step further in 2022 with their Jerusalem/The Bridge EP, containing the first full
studio recordings the band had ever done.
With new drummer Daan Wopereis joining the band in the summer of ’23, Temple Fang decided
to take some time off the road to retool the band for a new chapter, one where new things would
be possible, new ideas encouraged and old skin shed. And ultimately, to create a version of
Temple Fang that would surpass anything they had dared to do before.
When legendary German label Stickman records approached them and offered them creative
freedom, it was a no-brainer. A label that works with Motorpsycho, Elder, King Buffalo, Slomosa,
Full Earth and fellow Dutchies Iron Jinn would certainly be the right family to join for this new
chapter of the band.
The band has been holed up in their Amsterdam bunker all year working on their Stickman
debut, their first all-studio full length, only to occasionally leave it for small tours to road-test the
new material and keep their gears oiled.
In 2025 with a new album under their belt, the band will hit the road hard with a newfound fury
and a commitment to really rock.
Mind-bending riffs, triple vocal harmonies, dubbed out bass and groovy yet hard hitting drums,
ecstatically rocking and truly psychedelic, Temple Fang delivers it all with love. Longform rock for
fans of Motorpsycho, The Grateful Dead, Hawkwind and Hendrix.
Rock n’ Roll as a means to attaining spiritual freedom, right on!

“Mega-cosmic psychedelia, a blend of atmospheres conjured through effects, gradual builds
and patient craft.”
The Obelisk
“A guitar orchestra, a guitar hurricane! These are guys that breathe space rock, gray-haired
from head banging, their fingers crooked from playing pentatonic and mixolydian scales”
3voor12
“They have a way of making energy flow between them and with the audience, with surgical riffs
and melodies, always groovy and spacey, finding the right balance between instinctive jamming
and prog-like elaborate composition, giving it all a sense of epicness without ever crossing the
line to overdoing it”
More Fuzz
“I always thought I needed a cliché ‘desert experience’ to reach an epiphany of total
understanding, but all it took was a visit to Roadburn and do some rituals with a four-piece from
Amsterdam”
Rawkward Steve, NMTH
“Fantastic guitar work, total persuasiveness”
De Volkskrant
“Best live band in Holland right now”
Willem Twee, Den Bosch
