ORANGE AMPLIFIERS - ORANGE JAMS FIRST EVER IN-PERSON EVENT

🍊🧡 We’re absolutely OJ’d to announce a special event in collaboration with the one and only ORANGE AMPLIFIERS as their first in-person Orange Jams session comes to life at our Black Heart on Thursday 3rd August in the form of an exclusive performance by Californian psych aficionados MONARCH 🧡🍊

Here’s the word on the get down from Orange themselves ! :

”We are very excited to announce US band Monarch for our first ever in person Orange Jams event, co-hosted by, and at, the Black Heart Thursday 3rd of August.

Hailing from the San Diego / Encinitas / Ocenaide area, Monarch are one of many bands who have followed in the footsteps of the mighty Earthless and Astra and turned the area into a psychedelic haven for both bands and listeners, contributing to a scene that’s been making waves way blowing minds for nearly two decades.

They will be popping their transatlantic cherries and squeezing the first ever Oranges that will be turned into Orange Jam(s) this August when they take the stage at the Black Heart, before they hit Portugal and Sonic Blast, followed by a European tour with Earthless.

Mixing elements of classic rock, psychedelia, prog, jazz and improv jams, Monarch seemed like the perfect fit for our psychedelic summer extravaganza, and we can not wait to bring our Orange Jams concept from the screen to the stage and we for you to be there to joining us!”
