Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats

'The Institute' is coming.

Two leading acts of the retro rock underground are heading out on a co-headlining tour.

'We've dug up the corpse of '70s power pop, tied it to the back of a van and will now parade it along Main Street,' says frontman Kevin Starrs.

The proto-metal stoner cult band promise psychedelic anthems with plenty of melody and harmonies.

Uncle Acid, leader of Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats discusses the band's headlining tour, taking inspiration from horror films and opening for Black Sabbath.
