Loudhailer Electric Co.

Loudhailer Electric Co. original psychedelic band with a big history on the indie scene, featuring Lou Duffy-Howard of recently reformed indie chart-toppers Red Guitars, lead guitarist Jeff Parsons of post-punk guitar band Dead Fingers Talk, rhythm guitarist Richard Duffy-Howard and drummer Mark Hurton.  We have two different sets, our full psychedelic show and a more laid back Americana influenced set.

Expect original psychedelic sounds, an eclectic blend of rebel rock from across the ages, with tacit nods to garage punk, psychedelia, Americana and acid folk/rock.

Listen up for songs telling stories of road trips, myths & legends and sci fi. The band have three albums released on the DHM Record label distributed by Label Worx and available from all the usual digital outlets and selected stores.

Check out some of our videos, first up, our new single, Flight path, which came about when I heard that birds changed their flight pattern to avoid the war over Ukraine. Flying over beautiful countryside and oceans, and leading the flock over war zones and devastated nations.

“The room rocked from the first track to their encore. If you do nothing else this year, get yourself to another of the Loudhailer Electric Company’s Psychedelic Gatherings and enjoy their sound for yourself.” Browse Mag.

“Loudhailer Electric Company  are a great festival band …straight out of the gates we are presented with the sound of a highly competent band that to me sound a bit like a psychedelic Siouxsie and the Banshees.” Terrascope Magazine.

Loudhailer Electric Company are:

Lou Duffy-Howard – Songwriter and vocalist/bassist Lou had Indie chart topping success with recently reformed influential indie band Red Guitars, best known for No. 1 single Good Technology and Independent album Slow to Fade, before releasing two albums on Virgin Records.

Jeff Parsons – Influenced by The Who and American psychedelic bands, and with a first album – Dead Fingers Talk’s ‘Storm the Reality Studios’ – produced by the late great Mick Ronson, Jeff’s upside down guitar style sends the Loudhailer Electric Company into orbit.

Reviews:

“A compendium of psychedelic sounds which tap into the folk and rock genres, driven by hugely talented and passionate musicians – beautifully poetic – I’m hypnotised.” Nix Chidlow – BROWSE  – Independent Arts Culture.

“…a magic album. What really draws out the juice is driving through the forest at night with the windows down – wind blowing my hair everywhere – playing it LOUD. I am sure the BIG Lizards and Bandicoots, Snakes and Owls think I’m extra-terrestrial as I whizz by. It is a very very rich experience…” Jungle Jim Ward, Byron Bay, New South Wales.

Album of the Year: “Cursus is a wonderful album featuring nine original tracks of psychedelic sounds underpinned with a myriad of references to folk, classic rock and other genres.  The music is highly atmospheric, immersive and hypnotic with the ability to transport the listener to another time and place (mystical or otherwise).” Across The Universal Soundscape

“Loudhailer Electric Company? Brilliant!” Alan Raw, BBC Introducing
