QWAY 

Qway is an Eastern Progressive Psych trio from Philadelphia, PA. Bringing a fresh take on the psych-rock revival, Qway methodically blends disparate influences to create a genre-defiant sound, drawing on prog-rock roots injected with Turkish/far-Eastern melodies alongside drum-and-bass pockets, trip-hop sampling, and sludge riffs. With elaborate live performances showcasing technical compositions, complex improvisation, live sequencing/looping, and an eclectic array of instrumentation, Qway brings high-energy psych grooves to the stage while redefining the boundaries and capabilities of a 3-piece band.
