Summerchild

Description

Formed in 2014, the Bordeaux trio RED SUN ATACAMA combines desert psychedelia and punk defiance. The volcanic and wild land of the Atacama Desert fascinates and inspires the band. It literally enchants their sound and gives it an incomparable magnetism. After self-producing their first EP "Part 1" in 2015, Red Sun Atacama released a fiery debut album, "Licancabur," in 2018 on More Fuzz Records. The album solidifies the unique style that the trio has forged: raw and insolent. For their second album, Red Sun Atacama signs with the label Mrs Red Sound (the label of the heavy psych band Mars Red Sky) and hires Amaury Sauvé from The Apiary studio in Laval for the sound work. "Darwin" was released on June 17, 2022. The desert punk/stoner energy emanating from the album captivates the specialized press, which does not hold back in its praise. The band thus catches the attention of booking agencies 3C and Bullet Seed, who welcome them into their rosters. Live, Red Sun Atacama manages to convey all the hypnotic fury of their studio efforts. They have the opportunity to share the stage with heavyweights of the international heavy rock scene such as Uncle Acid And The Dead Beats, Mars Red Sky, Planet of Zeus, and Slift. In 2024, they perform at influential festivals like DesertFest Belgium and Hellfest, before joining Dopelord on a tour across Europe as the official support act. The new album "Summerchild" by Red Sun Atacama is set to arrive on March 13, 2026, on Mrs Red Sound (distributed by Baco Distribution and IDOL).
