Tame Impala and Mercury Rev are on the bill for the 2018 edition of Desert Daze.
The Californian event is due to take place in October, and has secured the likes of Warpaint, Ty Segall & White Fence, Malcolm Mooney and Preoccupations too with more to come.
Mercury Rev will be performing Deserter’s Songs in full at the event as it becomes part of the album’s 20th anniversary tour which is about to go around Europe from next month. “By the time we began to surface following the destruction of the mid 90’s there was no longer anyone of the band ‘in the band’,” Jonathan Donahue has remembered of it.
“It felt as though Grasshopper and I were just these two see-through phantoms banging around at night in my attic, bumping into a melody here and there, strumming on the last of my guitars not in hock, pressing pray and record on the old 8 Track reel to reel.”
