Raw unfiltered psychedelic punk rock from Belgium! Book Nimbus Cart today through ShowBird and get carried away by the nostalgic sound of the 70s !
The amalgamation of four like-minded souls from Ghent, Nimbus Cart brings emotional, dark ballads that unexpectedly spill over into breezy punk rock songs. From contrarian angular rhythms to guitar salvos and bass rhythms drenched in a layer of Dinosaur Jr., surfing forward on a 70's psychedelic high.
With a mix of raw energy and thought-provoking lyrics, they seek to inspire change and raise awareness about societal issues and the fight against social injustice.
"We write from within ourselves, reflectively. We want to tell a story ... personal struggles, self-discovery and the search for meaning in a chaotic world."
Unexpected, free-spirited and amplified.
"First group I saw was the Ghent foursome Nimbus Cart and what I heard did raise my eyebrows for a moment.
Seventies rock! I almost wrote 'stale' but it wasn't and Janis in particular took care of that, a phenomenal frontwoman who hadn't stolen her name. What a throat and what an attitude! Early in the set she managed to pick up a flute for one song, not exactly the instrument you make many friends with in rock 'n' roll but she didn't give a damn. The last person I saw using it in a rock band must have been John Dwyer of Thee Oh Sees. Should this be a reference at least it was one that could count." - Musiczine
"A solid voice that reminded us somewhat of that other Janis, though this one had more of the attitude of a metal diva than a hippie queen. The hurricane force that Janis, lead singer of Nimbus Cart, displays in their Bye Myself, needs nothing to hide behind. Gay, sounds like a rough diamond from "PJ Harvey," our colleague wrote at the time. Rather, we hear in it a primal blues song, or an unknown gem from that other singing Janis." - Luminous Dash
"Nimbus Cart is characterized by their layered rock music and dramatic turns. We can confirm this after yesterday. There is no denying that the frontwoman has a distinctive, lived-in voice." - Dancing Bears
