Telekinetic Yeti with Thunderchief and Horseburner Live at the Shop in Dunbar
Based out of Iowa, Telekinetic Yeti is a two-man band that delivers sonic brutality
melded with psychedelic doom wizardry, forged by the worship of the almighty riff and
honed by relentless touring and dedication to their craft.
Creating music as cryptically enchanting as it is heavy, you wouldn't guess that the
impressive cacophony pouring out of the speakers like molten, metal syrup is being
produced by only two people. Founder and guitarist Alex Baumann explains, Originally
I decided not to have a bass player purely for logistical reasons, it was just another
schedule to work around, another person whos boss could tell us we cant tour, but
then I started seeing it as a challenge, like lets see how heavy we can make it with just
two people.
That started grabbing peoples' attention. Relentless touring and playing pretty much any
club that would have them, the band set sail on their epic voyage, selling their debut
album Abominable out of their van and cutting their teeth in the underground playing
hundreds of shows. All the while receiving rave reviews of their live performance as well
as their first release, which landed at #2 on the doom charts and stayed right there for
months. The Sludgelord called the eight-song album a f***ing monster from start to
finish, and The Obelisk, including the album in their year-end, best of list, dubbed it the
debut of the year, and said it could have been another bands second or third record
for the level of cohesion on display. The video for Stoned and Feathered quickly
racked up a few hundred thousand views and counting. It was at this time that
Telekinetic Yeti caught the attention of Ozzy Osbourne bass player, Blasko, who named
Abominable on his 5 favorites list. People were starting to catch on, and soon
thereafter Telekinetic Yeti would be invited to tour extensively with some of the best
heavy rock bands in the business, including Clutch, Black Label Society, Red Fang and
Weedeater.
They are joined by Thunderchief. Thunderchief is an American sludge and doom metal duo from Richmond, Virginia, formed in 2006 by Rik Surly and Erik Larson. They are known for their "sludge 'n' roll" sound, with albums like The Tone If Sorrow (2015), No Sufferance for Thy Fools (2020), and Synanthrope (2021). The band is characterized by a heavy, riff-driven style influenced by bands like Black Sabbath and Sleep. And by the Stoner, Doom, Sludge metal quartet, Horseburner, from Parkersburg, WV. Plus more TBA.
