TEMPLE FANG (ned) / RUFF MAJIK (rsa)

Doors open: 20:00

No longer the best kept secret in Dutch rock, Amsterdam’s psych-rock band Temple Fang has steadily been blowing minds across Europe since 2018 with their hard hitting yet elegant longform jams, building up an enormous reputation as a live band that always delivers and never repeats itself.

Having debuted, appropriately, with a live album “Live at Merleyn on their own Right On Mountain records, in 2021 the band put out the double album “Fang Temple” to considerable acclaim. After the pandemic, the band hit the road hard and played every festival that would have them, from Roadburn to Freak Valley, Desertfest, Krach am Bach and Rock im Wald and trekked across Europe supporting King Buffalo.

The band put out the “Jerusalem/The Bridge” EP and the “Live at Freak Valley” LP themselves resulting in them being picked up by Stickman Records, home of their friends in Elder, Iron Jinn and King Buffalo. After concluding their tour in the summer of 2023 with scorching performances at Sonic Blast and Palp Festival leaving heads spinning and hearts filled with guitars, the band has been holed up in their bunker working on their Stickman debut. Mind-bending riffs, triple vocal harmonies, dubbed out bass and jazzy yet hard hitting drums, ecstatically rocking and truly psychedelic, Temple Fang delivers it all with love. Rock ’n Roll as a means to attaining spiritual freedom, right on!

Longform rock for fans of Motorpsycho, The Grateful Dead, Hawkwind and Hendrix.

“Megacosmic 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, grey 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

Ruff Majik is a time traveling rock ’n roll band from South Africa.
