Live Performance Special: Tempel - Colour Haze

This live performance of Colour Haze was filmed during the “Dunajam Festival” which seems to be an absolute Mecca for those that enjoy psychedelic or stoner rock. Dunajam is (from what I can gather) a week long festival that takes place on a small Mediterranean island, featuring about 20 or so bands that play live outdoor concerts all over the largely unpopulated island. Those who go get intimate concerts and enjoy some of the best weather, and background the Mediterranean has to offer. The reason I chose Colour Haze and their song Tempel over other performances was because there could not be a more fitting setting for their music. Rolling drums are complimented by a sea crashing on cliff side behind them, while the thunderous guitar is as impressive as the mountains that litter the background. Dynamic highs and lows of tone and volume are as stark as the blue of the sky against the white and yellow sandstone. The images that music brings to mind are literally brought into view in perfect synchronization with what the band is playing. The only knock is the poor quality of the video, and even that isn’t so bad (you can try the 480p not sure if it makes a difference).
