Blackberries are a psychedelic four-piece from Western Germany. Formed in 2009, the band grew from the seeds of early Motown records, mid-60’s pop groups, mesmerizing Psychedelia and german-based Krautrock. Fusing these influences with their very own vision of musical expression, they create a unique vibrant energy which already won over audiences of bands like Pond, Blues Pills, Toy, Local Natives, Miles Kane or Bastille and gave birth to their latest record “Greenwich Mean Time”, which was released in May 2016.

After years of hard work and intense musical experimentation have passed, in which they not only redefined their frontiers in the development of new sounds, but also locked themselves into the studio to come out with even more pulsating and hypnotizing tunes. Like a magic carpet that floats between neo-psychedelic experiences, a passion for hooks and melody and the untamed aesthetics of early Kraut, Blackberries are heading to a new landmark in the continuing journey of constant reinvention.

This year they already played well selected festivals such as Maifeld Derby, Burg Herzberg, Open Source, after the german Rolling Stone Magazine compared their records to “Sgt. Pepper” or “Revolver” and found similarities with Brian Wilson and George Harrisons sitar. Furthermore Blackberries will be on tour this late autumn/early winter across Germany & Europe where they will also play two support gigs with Okta Logue.

Just in time to that they will put out a new CD-album called „Greenwich Mean Time +1“ which contains the C- and D-side tracks of „Greenwich Mean Time“ that where released only on vinyl so far.
