About

The Dharma Chain are an Australian-formed, Berlin-based independent band blending psychedelic textures, shoegaze, rock, and kraut-driven momentum with poetic lyricism and raw live energy. They’ve built a reputation for emotionally charged performances that feel expansive and immersive.

With no fixed front person, the band moves fluidly between roles. Mixed vocals, hip-hop drum beats, reverb-soaked guitars, and industrial undercurrents collide to create a powerful wall of sound that is dynamic, unpredictable and deeply human.

Their debut album NOWHERE continues to gather momentum, while their second full-length record 'Some Kind Of Pure State', arriving Spring 2026, marks a bold expansion in impact and atmosphere. Festival appearances include Fuzz Club and DesertFest Berlin (2026), with recent highlights at Fusion Festival (2024), Synästhesie (2025) and VOID (2025).

At SXSW, The Dharma Chain bring a live show that’s raw, hypnotic and built to pull you in.
