Friday – Acid Box presents Wax Machine @ The Hope and Ruin
In the past year since they first emerged on the Brighton scene with a totally different take on the usual psychedelia music heard around the city, Wax Machine have branded their own mix of groovy psychedelic rock you’d expect to find in a dive bar in L.A in the late 60’s, taking heed from late greats of the era such as The Doors, Love, Hendrix, The Velvet Underground and T-rex.
