Stone Machine Electric

Stone Machine Electric is a Texas-based stoner rock trio best known for crafting a dark and spacious brand of psychedelic jamming that they have dubbed Doom Jazz. Formed in 2009 by Mark Kitchens and William “Dub” Irvin, and joined by bassist Erick Paxecko in 2023, the band has spent over a decade crafting sonic landscapes rooted in stoner rock, doom, space and experimental vibes, building a loyal cult following in the US underground.

Since their inception, the band has self-released a demo, an EP and four full lengths, the most recent of which, Darkness Dimensions Disillusion, came out on Sludgelord Records. On top of this they have a live record, Vivere, which was released with Off The Record Label. They have toured throughout the Lonestar State and even made it out to Arizona, Oklahoma and Louisiana. Along the way they have played alongside groups like Mothership, Wo Fat and Jucifer as well as having performed at a variety of Texas festivals including End Hip End It, Fuzzed Out Fest and Heavy Mash.

Now the band have garnered global attention be it from online tastemakers like The Obelisk and Doomed & Stoned or local rags like Fort Worth Weekly who wrote of the group: "You can practically see Conan praying to Crom right before a battle." Now Stone Machine Electric look to the future with more songs being pulled out of the void every day. These Doom Jazz masters are preparing to take on the world!
