Harvey Rushmore & The Octopus

Harvey Rushmore & The Octopus are performing at The Rossi Bar on 3 November 2026. The Basel-based psych quartet is bringing their live show to Brighton as part of their current touring schedule, which follows the release of their 2026 album, Mindsuckers. The band will be on stage between 19:00 and 23:00.

The group defines their sound as a blend of garage, surf, and krautrock, creating a style of rock'n'roll that relies on heavy fuzz and hypnotic rhythms. Their musical approach draws heavily from specific aesthetic influences, including vintage science fiction and the visual language of B-movies. You can hear the 60s psychedelia in their work, which they combine with motorik beats and bright surf guitar lines. This tour follows the release of their latest record, Mindsuckers, which serves as the foundation for their current live performances. The band's commitment to this specific aesthetic—combining the grit of garage rock with the precision of krautrock—is a central part of their identity.

Having performed hundreds of shows across Europe, the band has developed a live set that incorporates visual elements designed to complement the music. They aim to deliver a large-format performance that is specifically tailored for a full room, ensuring that the energy of their recorded material translates to the stage. The band's history of touring has allowed them to refine this approach, focusing on the interplay between their motorik rhythms and the raw energy of their garage-influenced sound.

The venue is located at 8 Queens Road, Brighton, BN1 3WA. Because this is an 18+ event, you will need to bring a valid form of identification to gain entry. Tickets are priced at £13.26. It is worth noting that events at this venue often sell out, so booking in advance is recommended to ensure you get a spot for the show.
