Wight

Wight is a groove-heavy psychedelic rock band hailing from Darmstadt, Germany, known for their fuzzy riffs, funky rhythms, and jam-friendly energy. Formed in 2009 around core members René Hofmann (vocals/guitar) and Sascha Barasa (drums), the trio (later expanded to a four-piece) built their reputation on sweaty live shows and a retro-meets-modern sound blending stoner rock, blues, and spaced-out jams. Their 2011 debut *Through the Woods Into Deep Water* put them on the radar of retro-rock fans, while later releases like *Love Is Not Only What You Know* (2014) and *Spank the World* (2021) showcase their evolution into a tighter, more eclectic unit unafraid to throw surf rock, funk breakdowns, or saxophone solos into their riff salad. With tracks like the desert-cruise anthem "St. Tropez" and the 10th-anniversary reissue of their debut (*Wight Weedy Wight*), they’ve cemented their status as Europe’s answer to laid-back yet powerful psychedelic jams, perfect for both record collectors and festival crowds.
