Dope Purple (TW)

Formed in Taipei in 2016, Dope Purple are a Taiwanese psychedelic/noise rock band built around a five-piece lineup. Driven by furious guitar noise and soaring saxophone, the band takes listeners on a chaotic Eastern psychedelic journey. Their performances are characterized by extended, highly ritualistic passages that gradually build into a cathartic climax of fractured guitar noise and psychedelic intensity. Magasin 4 lists the concert under the heading Heavy Psych. Beyond their own music, the band is committed to promoting Taiwan's underground rock culture. They have organized the Taipei Psychedelic Rock Festival three times, bringing together artists from Taiwan, Japan and elsewhere. The concert takes place at Magasin 4, Rue de l'entrepôt 7, Brussels, and doors are listed for 19:30.
