==============================
JACK OBLIVIAN (Memphis, USA)
==============================
Memphis based Jack Oblivian (aka Jack Yarber) was a founding member of the garage-bands THE COMPULSIVE GAMBLERS and THE OBLIVIANS and he has contributed to a dizzying array of other projects over the years, including Andre Williams, Jack Oblivian & the Tennessee Tearjerkers, The Cool Jerks, '68 Comeback, King Louie & His Loose Diamonds, Greg Oblivian & the Tip Tops, Jack Oblivian & The Cigarillos, The Natural Kicks and Tav Falco's Panther Burns.
Depending on whom you ask, Jack "Oblivian" Yarber is either a rock legend or an absolute unknown. This dichotomy is well-understood by Memphis musicians, as underground "fame," for all its rewards, has, with a few exceptions, been the ceiling for local acts for decades. And no one knows this dichotomy better than Yarber, who may be Memphis' most influential active rock musician.
Jack Oblivian channels the spirit of proto punk as well as blues, country and junkyard rock; his songs embody haunting, echo-y swamp boogie.

THE SHEIKS (Memphis, USA)
==============================
Touring with Jack Oblivian during this epic Euro tour they bring that Memphis rock'n'roll swagger to their distinct brand of garage-y psychedelia, the band's debut, self-released album, 'Witches and Mystics', blends howling vocals and explosive drumming with reverbed-to-hell guitars that are drenched in filthy distortion.
