70 yeas ago in 1943, Albert Hofmann accidentally absorbed a small quantity of LSD through his fingertips and discovered its effects before his bicycle ride home. It had been sitting in his lab for years, but now Hofmann knew he’d made an important discovery.
LSDs powerful effects would go on to provide the catalyst for psychedelic music as well as lesser ‘benefits’ such as the popularity of tie-dye and cheese-cloth fashion.
To celebrate the ground breaking discovery of LSD 70 years ago Tone Deaf presents a A Tribute to Albert Hofmann Night at Ding Dong Lounge. On Saturday 22nd July, The Ding Dong Lounge will squeegee its third eye clean and lay witness to a potpourri of mind-blowing music.
The Morning After Girls take us on a physcedelic rock reflection of their journey so far. Their most recent album has journeyed through different times, different places, different relationships, different personalities; all of which are so vital to gaining a complete representation of what it’s like to live through the days of this thing we call ‘life’.

The Demon Parade celebrate a brank spanking new standalone single – Open Up Your Mid on RiSH Records. Opening with a cacophony of helicopter blades and eastern influenced chords, the track quickly distills the psychedelic mind bending vortex of Tomorrow Never Knows era Beatles and attaches it to an explosive guitar riff that conjures up a Black Rebel Motorcycle Club hosted desert exorcism. Drenched in frontman Michael Badger’s ethereal, reverb coated vocals, the song soundtracks an invisible trip cutting through the space/time continuum.
We continue the trip with Facsinator and The House of Laurence. Come join us keeping things weird, as we pay tribute to Albert Hofmann.
