ALBUMS CHICKN WOWSERS! Released May 11, 2018 Greece  |  Psychedelia/Experimental If You Like: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, The Who, Small Faces, King Crimson Channeling the absurdity of Frank Zappa and combining it with the listenability of today’s Indie Psychedelic movement is Chickn.

I was practically shouting my love for their epic … Continue reading Reyno
