stoned from the underground 2013 and the obelisk

The organisers simply claim the "lineup isn’t even that important because it's been awesome for almost 15 years".
Stoned From The Underground was held last weekend (9-13th July) in Stotternheim, Germany and gathered some of Europes and the US' best hard rock, stoner and desert rock exponents, Pothead, Earthless, Mustasch. Atomic Bitchwax, Truckfighters, Pelican, Acid King, Lowrider, etc etc.
Fridays' headliners were Earthless with their instrumental psychedelic rock from San Diego, California. A power trio of intensity that can jam with relentless energy from each of the players, Isaiah Mitchell – guitar, Mike Eginton – bass guitar, Mario Rubalcaba – drums.
You'd expect nothing else from Californian psychedelic rock, there's a long tradition to uphold.

And if you're in the mood for exploring more underground rock go and check out The Obelisk blog who run a radio station too.
"The Obelisk Radio was launched in 2012 live streaming music 24 hours a day, seven days a week, starting with a base of well over 7,500 songs formerly operating as StonerRock.com’s K666 online radio station. Get the station here

Also The Obelisk run a small independent record label, Maple Forum.
"This is an in-house operation, geared toward those who still believe in music enough to directly support the people making it. Releases will be limited and sold through The Obelisk". The added bonus to all this is there's no nasty commercial poke in the eye awaiting the visitor. It's all about the music... just as we like it.
