About This Event

Paper Dress Vintage in London will host Pete Bassman and supporting acts on 17 October 2026 at 18:00 to celebrate his legacy with one of the UK's most influential psych bands, Spacemen 3. Originally from Rugby, this legendary group helped shape a sound defined by lush textures and hypnotic rhythms that continue to resonate today. The evening promises an immersive auditory journey through decades of shoegaze history within the venue's atmospheric setting. Ticket details are available via the official website for interested attendees.

Pete Bassman (aka Pete Bain) is one of the original members of Spacemen 3, which can be considered one of the most influential psych bands of all time. From modest beginnings in Rugby, Spacemen 3 went on to influence generations of psych rockers worldwide with albums such as 'Sound of Confusion', 'The Perfect Prescription' and 'Performance' - all featuring Pete Bassman.

Pete left Spacemen 3 (replaced by Will Carruthers) and formed other influential and equally excellent projects, such as The Darkside and Alpha Stone. Pete Bassman is the only original member of Spacemen 3 still based in Rugby and, for our money, he remains the best and most "spaceman" member of Spacemen 3. His live sets are real psychedelic trips and he's STILL light years ahead of anyone else on the scene. Simply unmissable.

Special guests Silent-K are an energetic alt-rock band from Liverpool, who've supported acts such as Oasis' Noel Gallagher, Fat White Family, Kula Shaker and others, paying a rare visit to London with their new, even stronger lineup (which included The Zutons' Dave McCabe in the past). If you haven't seen them before, it'll be an expereience not to be missed.

Black Arches are an experimental group from Hastings, fusing psychedelia, electronics, spoken word and noise rock in wild live improvisations. They regularly collaborate with Medway Scene legend Sexton Ming and are not to be missed!

Warlander is a truly unique artist from Los Angeles, CA, for the first time performing in London, delivering a trippy, synth-powered musical experience.

Liverpool Psychedelic Society nights are more than just gigs, but true psychedelic happenings, with visuals and great vibes all night.
