LSD and the Search for God w/ Harsh Intention

Sunday, March 29 // Door at 7 PM // Show at 8 PM // $25 ADV // $30 DOS   LSD and the Search for God hit the Northern California coast in 2005––seemingly from another place and time––dosing San Francisco with hypnotic shows built upon swirling guitars, otherworldly drones, fuzzed-out pop melodies, and dreamy vocal harmonies. With reviews of early shows and recordings drawing comparisons to My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Yo La Tengo, Spacemen 3, and Sonic Youth, the band quickly developed a must-see reputation within the underground psychedelic music scene. When LSD finally released their self-titled debut EP (Mind Expansion Records, 2007) it sold out from the record label prior to the official release date. It earned critical acclaim and continues to frequently appear on lists of essential shoegaze releases. The EP was twice reissued on vinyl (Deep Space Recordings, 2008, 2015), twice on cassette (Cellar Door Tapes, 2015), and selected tracks were featured on three compilations: Mind Expansion Vol. 1, M.E. Vol. 2, and Australian nugazer compilation Take Me on the Wildest Spree (Rubber Records/EMI, 2008).LSD’s most recent release, Heaven Is a Place (Space Age Recordings, 2016), captures a snapshot in time soon after Ricky Maymi (Brian Jonestown Massacre) temporarily joined the band on drums. Like the self-titled EP, it garnered critical acclaim and frequented many Best Of lists. Pop Matters calls it, “a long-awaited sermon for the faithful and a blazing induction for new converts,” while Primal Music says it’s “another astonishing collection of five psychedelic stories glistening with the same spaced out ingredients that blew my mind way back in 2007.” LSD’s time and space travels have led them all over the U.S., Canada, and Europe, including tours with Martin Rev (Suicide), Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3), and The Telescopes, as well as appearances at Levitation–Austin Psych Fest, SoCal’s Desert Daze, Manchester’s Cosmosis Festival (with The Jesus and Mary Chain), Bathysphere (with A Place To Bury Strangers), twice at Desert Stars (first with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, then The Dandy Warhols), Calgary’s Garbage Daze, and Portugal’s Reverence Valada (with The Damned, The Oh Sees, and Silver Apples). A new record is currently in the works.   Harsh Intention is a sexy heartthrob musical duo.

Doom Scroll w/ Big Mosquito & Minot

Sunday, March 22 // Door at 7:00 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $12 ADV // $15 DOS     Doom Scroll describes its acoustic punk sound as “aggressive, melodic punk/crust wave” with complex instrumentation and layers of harmonies knitted from decades of music appreciation and performance. Coming soon to your sleepy, unsuspecting town.   The adolescent neanderthals themselves, Minot.  These overgrown-teenaged garage punk muffins bring their sonic take on the raw, the cheap and the lo-fidelity. The three-piece from Missoula, MT embodies the primitive, sloppy roots of everything that is, Budget Rock. A poorly contained train wreck influenced by punk, 60s garage pop and country blues.    Big Mosquito is a local Missoula ska outfit bringing a mix of authentic ska and high energy, with renditions and covers of such classics as The Skatalites, The Specials, laurel Aitkens, Phyllis Dillon/Freddy McKay, ect. Plus originals and more lively tunes like Murphy’s law’s 1%. Big Mosquito’s goal is to bring authentic ska and love for roots music to the forefront of our rising youth movement in Missoula and beyond. Big Mosquito is made up of Zane Lambert, Cameron Doucette, Evan Wright, Spencer Nelson, Nick Mogensen, Jacob Tirado, Rhett Matthew, and Danny Boatwright.

Abyecta w/ Operative & Designer Drugs

Wednesday, April 8 // Door at 7:30 PM // Show at 8 PM // $15   Abyecta began as a two-piece metallic punk onslaught formed by singer/guitarist Carolina Valium and drummer Marc Boleas in Barcelona around 2019. After rehearsing for a few months, the duo recorded their debut EP, Infrafuturo, just before the pandemic hit. As the Covid hell unfolded, Carolina was forced to return to her native Chile, where she reformed the band with drummer Benjamin Orrego. There Abyecta recorded and released their second EP Enemigos De La Razón in 2022. In both EPs, Abyecta demonstrate a deep passion and dedication to a blend of aggressive hardcore punk with elements of ’80s speed metal and thrash. Abyecta relentlessly deliver a barrage of fiery riffs and thunderous drumming, drawing inspiration from a spectrum of legends including all-female heavy metal bands like Las Brujas and Leather Angel, and metal/punk stalwarts, ranging from Razor, Whiplash and Exciter (North America) to Discharge, Sacrilege and Broken Bones (UK) or Death Side, The Comes, G.I.S.M. (Japan). Currently, all copies of their seven-inch records are sold out from their label Symphony of Destruction, but a collected vinyl LP containing both EPs and their brand new Demo III are expected to be released in physical format just in time for Abyecta’s tour in May 2024. Don’t miss the chance to see them live! https://abyecta.bandcamp.com/album/abyecta-infrafuturo-demo-2020 https://www.instagram.com/abyecta.banda/
