the machine

There's loads of them machines. It's easy to get confused, Machine, a Pink Floyd tribute band, then there's The Machines, a UK punk band, then there's that Florence and her Machine, and then there's The Machine, the ones from Rotterdam. Holland.

    "The Machine pair molten stoner rock riffs with a fair dose of retro psych for good measure. The band also excels at incorporating acid-blues jamming that lifts their performance into outer space.” Roadburn Festival

Yeah right they're the ones, and so far with just three gigs to do this year because they're recording a new LP. But look at the gigs, a large chunk of Europe in just three hops.
Feb 01 2014 : Depressivefest - Moscow (RUS), Apr 25 2014 : Berlin (GER), Apr 26 2014 : Desertfest - London (UK).
And here's a track from their last album 'Solar Corona'.... which is a bit of a good title don't you think. Defintely a very authentic sounding stoned 70's feel about this. But then the Dutch know how to take that and work it out. The vocals are good in this too and all wrapped up in a few lines. Here's the sublime 'Infinity'.
