Orange Sunshine
Explosive, acid-drenched power blues that channels the raw, blown-out energy of 1969. Heavy riffs and garage-punk grit for fans of loud, vintage psych-rock.

Orange Sunshine is a Dutch power trio formed in 1999 in The Hague, deeply embedded in the Motorwolf collective and the city's fertile underground scene. Their sound is a meticulous yet primal reconstruction of late 60s and early 70s proto-hard rock, specifically citing Blue Cheer, MC5, and Stackwaddy as primary blueprints.
Unlike many of their contemporaries who adopt a retro aesthetic for fashion, Orange Sunshine's approach is rooted in the raw, high-volume intensity of the original acid-rock era, emphasizing a 'motor-blues' style that blends garage punk with heavy psychedelic improvisation. The band members bring a wealth of experience from the Dutch doom, noise, and punk scenes, which informs their darker, more aggressive edge. Critically, they are lauded for their authentic analog production and their refusal to modernize their sound, maintaining a gritty, tape-saturated texture that appeals to crate-diggers and stoner rock purists alike. Their career is marked by a series of high-intensity live performances, notably at the Roadburn Festival, which solidified their reputation as one of Europe's most uncompromising psychedelic rock acts.
