San Jose Stoner Rock Festival

Top Stoner Rock acts from around the country will converge in the South Bay on Thursday May 21st at the first annual San Jose Stoner Rock Festival. Hosted by the Back Bar, the SOFA district will rumble with each band bringing their distinct style of Stoner/Doom/Psych/Heavy rock to South Bay fans for the first time.

The lineup includes Ripple Music's Mothership from Dallas, Texas, Ripple Music's ZED from San Jose, CA, Riding Easy Records' Slow Season from Visalia, CA, Riding Easy Records' Blackout from NYC, and San Jose's Forgotten Gods.

Mothership, Slow Season and Blackout will be in town, fresh off their appearances at Psycho California, the 3-day mega festival that mixes the genres of stoner rock, doom, heavy psych, sludge, post rock, hardcore, experimental and black metal.

ZED, from San Jose, signed with Ripple Music last October and are currently writing their debut for the label, due out early next year. Forgotten Gods, also from San Jose, are a South Bay mainstay treading the waters of heavy prog and stoner/psych.
