RoSfest Announces UK Band Sanguine Hum For The 2012 Edition

Topic: Festival News


The opening slot on Sunday morning isn't the most visited concert at a weekend festival. After two days with numerous hours of music, and often partying verging on excess to boot, some people tend to sleep in on the third day. But for the dedicated fans who does show up, for them we try to find something special. Old hands who never got the break they deserved, up and coming bands that have been overlooked. A band that will surprise and delight those who do show up, talked about afterwards to the extent that those who went for the sleep in option know they have missed something special. We call this slot on our bill the Church of Prog.

Following in the footsteps of acts like Credo (2008), Touchstone (2009), DeeExpus (2010), and Mars Hollow (2011), in 2012 we have awarded the "prog sermon" to UK act Sanguine Hum. Sanguine who? may be the reaction by some. Others might have come across the band members in other constellations, as Joff Winks (vocals, guitars), Paul Mallyon (drums), Matt Baber (keyboards) and Brad Waissman (bass) have a musical past in bands such as Antique Seeking Nuns, Joff Winks Band and Nunbient. Since 2009 they have been making music as Sanguine Hum however, recording and performing music in a manner not too far removed from bands like Porcupine Tree and Radiohead, lightly flavoured with neo-prog, classic rock and Canterbury inspired details. So far explored on the EP Sanguine Hum: Plays The Nuns from 2009 and the full length production Diving Bell officially released on CD in 2011. A talented band that should have a great future ahead of them, and one we believe will surprise and amaze the most dedicated part of our audience at the 2012 edition of the Rites of Spring Festival.
