Description
WUCAN are a young rock band from Dresden, Germany with deep roots in the late 60s and early seventies with a dash of blues, folk, progressive and Kraut rock. This sort of time-warp music is covering the gamut from the Woodstock generation to the modern rock sound, starting with acoustic guitar, traverse flute and Hammond organ and ending at the modern rock sound of the heavy kind. With its debut album "Sow The Wind" the Dresden quartet has already gained vigorous reviews and with its wild live performances many thrilled fans.
Internationally they also gathered a lot of attention at festivals (Into The Void NL, Desertfest Antwerpen BE, Muskelrock SE). In 2015 reader and critics' polls WUCAN were termed "newcomer" and "surprise" of the year (among them eclipsed, Deaf Forever) and the album itself comes off very well, too. At facebook the band has received 5,000 likes up to now. In March 2016, Francis and her team were guests at the Crossroads Festival of WDR Rockpalast. Critics are reveling; there are quotes to be read like "music that drives you to ecstasy" and "Francis' transverse flute" would "sometimes sound like guitar riffs". And you should not be fooled by the hippie outfit - WUCAN rock hard & heavy & bluesy and by now they already are a notorious live act whose followers are growing steadily.
WUCAN made the right choice of partners with producer and owner of the Big Snuff Studios in Berlin Richard Behrens and with Andreas "Lupo" Lubich of Calyx Mastering for a successful debut in the retro rock scene. Richard Behrens, who is bassist of the 70s band HEAT and live toning of the genre heroes KADAVAR additionally to his producing duties, created an authentic 70s sound by using analogue machinery. Combined with the modern heavy surround of the band unfolds a fresh mix of yesterday and today, which bursts with lust for music.
Outstanding debut album with great resonance in the modern retro rock scene
