Live heavy‑psych set: ORB headline with support from PULT at Hafenklang, Hamburg
ORB are a heavy-psych power-trio from Geelong, Australia, blending doom-laden riffs, fuzzed-out proto-metal and cosmic groove. Featuring members Zak Olsen, Daff Gravolin and John Zacharias, the band grew from informal jams into one of Australia’s most distinctive underground psychedelic rock acts.
They debuted with the Womb cassette (2015) before breaking through with Birth (2016) and Naturality (2017), records that showcased their signature mix of Sabbath-weight, psychedelic sprawl and off-kilter melody. After a quiet spell, ORB returned with Tailem Bend (2024), expanding their palette into sun-baked psychpop and funk-leaning rhythms. 2025 saw the band self-release their first single with new drummer John Zacharius. "Mind Over Matter / End Times" is a catchy number which finds the band leaning into their early 60s rhythm & blues influences. With the single debuting on Seattle's KEXP radio, the band was then invited on to play a live set to kick off their 2025 US tour.
Live, ORB operate as a raw, improvisational power-trio — loud, hypnotic and heavy without pretension. With one foot in classic hard-rock and another in the outer reaches of psych experimentation, ORB continue to evolve while staying unmistakably themselves.
PULT is the musical output and studio project of friends Niklas Tschaikowsky and Jascha Kreft (Kadavar / Odd Couple). Humbly blurring genre lines between heavy Kraut, 70s Film scores and Folk. The project began in the summer of 2020, as a remnant of a previously planned gathering of friends who wanted to create cinematic, danceable and heavy instrumental music celebrating the beauty of playing together. In their latest work, PULT crafts soundscapes that evoke the feeling of Bo Hansson having a musical liaison with the Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, AIR, and Jimi Hendrix. Just recently the project got updated by additional friends to be presented in a live environment.
