Hidria Spacefolk is a Finnish folk-influenced progressive / psychedelic rock / space rock band. The group's sound is often compared to Kingston Wall and Ozric Tentacles.[1][2] The band describes their musical style as Astro-Beat. They use many different instruments such as the cello, violin, flute, didgeridoo, marimba, mandolin, sitar and vibraphone.[3]

Hidria Spacefolk's first album was the independently released EP HDRSF-1 in 2001. Their debut full-length, Symbiosis, was released a year later through Silence, a sub-label of Wolfgang Records. The band's second full-length album, Balansia, was released in 2004 and included Andy McCoy of Hanoi Rocks as a guest musician.[4] The same year, a compilation album titled Violently Hippy rmxs was also released. The album contains remixes of Hidria Spacefolk's songs done by Finnish electronic music makers.[5]

On July 11, 2004, the band performed at the North East Art Rock Festival in Pennsylvania, US, and their act was turned into a live album, Live Eleven a.m., in 2005.[6]

In 2005 the band had the honour of opening the second day of the international progressive rock festival that took place in Moscow, Russia, InProg 2005.
