Mars Red Sky is a stoner rock band from Bordeaux, France. As of 2024, they have released five studio albums and six EPs.
Festivals and tours
Formed in 2007, Mars Red Sky originates in Bordeaux, France, and is made up of Julien Pras (guitar, vocals), Jimmy Kinast (bass, vocals), and Mathieu Gazeau (drums).[1] Their music is a blend of psychedelic and stoner rock.[citation needed]
The band has played at Eurockéennes, Levitation, the Roadburn Festival, and South by Southwest.[2] In 2016, they toured North America.[3][4]
Short film
In October 2016, Mars Red Sky released the short film Alien Grounds, which included music from their third album, Apex III.[5] Directed by Sebastien Antoine, the film features actors Yan Tual, Victoria Cyr, and Dan Bronchinson.
Queen of the Meadow collaboration
In 2023, Mars Red Sky collaborated with the band Queen of the Meadow, jointly releasing the EP Mars Red Sky & Queen of the Meadow.[6] The song "Maps of Inferno" was featured on Prog magazine's tracks of the week. The publication described the melding of the "progressive doom" music of Mars Red Sky with the "dark folk singing" of Queen of the Meadow as resulting in a new sound realm not previously explored by the artists.[7]
