HÄXXAN - The Magnificent Planet Of Alien Vampiro II LP acoustic Drummer Shiraz Bhatti embraced the"Open Up Your Mind" is the invitation in the intro, and that should make it clear where Hxxan is headed. This band plays psychedelic garage rock with powerful guitars and a pinch of protopunk. Jay Reatard, Ty Segall and Thee Oh Sees quickly spring to mind as comparisons.
