Doom Gong
Doom Gong brings its self-described “Denim Psych” to Pearl Street Warehouse, combining psychedelic rock, jazz fusion, progressive rock, bedroom pop, lo-fi, and contemporary classical influences. Formed in Louisville in 2022 by seven music-school musicians, the band has developed an international following through its energetic, seamless live performances.
The group has released three rock-opera-inspired albums—*DOOM GONG*, *Dream Behemoth*, and *MEGAGONG*—along with the live album *Live at the Whirling Tiger*. Doom Gong has shared stages with acts including Amyl and the Sniffers, The Black Angels, BADBADNOTGOOD, Allah-Las, King Buffalo, Bass Drum of Death, Death Valley Girls, and Holy Wave. Its festival appearances include Treefort Music Fest, Sled Island, Offbeat Music Fest, Purple City Music Festival, Big Stomp, Back Alley Ballyhoo, Swampfest, Expansion Psychedelic Festival, Moonshiners Ball, and Jorts Fest. The band is also preparing six additional albums and has a European tour planned for summer 2026.
The bill also features The Duskwhales, a Washington, DC-based psychedelic darkwave trio formed in 2010. Guitarist and vocalist Seth Flynn, keyboardist and vocalist Brian Majewski, and drummer and vocalist Chris Baker build their sound from pulsing synthesizers, layered harmonies, dramatic arrangements, 1960s psychedelic rock, and new wave. They have supported Car Seat Headrest, Frankie Cosmos, Killer Queen, and Jesse McCartney. Their latest album, *Strawflower Lane*, was released in 2024.
