Chilean-born and NYC-based composer and electronic music maker Nicolas Jaar will be performing at Levitation Austin on April 29th. Mr. Jaar produces spacey, dreamy electronic music that mixes jazz touches, Euro lounge, and South American flair. I think it will be an interesting set.
Keep your mind open.

Tuareg musicians Imarhan are the latest band of fine musicians from Algeria who blend traditional music with rock guitars.
Levitation Austin always brings in at least one Tuareg band every year. The wide variety of bands form around the world I probably wouldn’t be able to see otherwise is one of the things I love most about the festival. Imarhan’s first single tore up BBC 6 Music radio and I eagerly await their set in Austin.

Fresh off the release of their new album, Freaks of Nuture, Holy Wave will be performing their groovy stoner-psych rock at Levitation Austin on April 29th. I loved their last record, Relax, so I look forward to hearing the new material (especially since I missed them the last time they played Levitation Austin a couple years ago). My wife also likes what she’s heard from these guys. I think you would, too.

Christian Bland and the Revelators is one of multiple side projects from the Black Angels‘ lead guitarist. They love early Pink Floyd records, and that’s all right with me. I saw them at Levitation Austin a couple years ago and they put on a good afternoon set. I’ve met Mr. Bland at three different Black Angels shows (Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis), and he was a cool cat and happy to sign my gig poster each time.

I missed Golden Dawn Arkestra at Levitation Austin two years ago, so I’m keen on catching their show this year. They have a wild mix of African, Asian, and Caribbean beats, amazing costumes, and a wild stage show. I’m sure it will be a performance that gets everyone moving.
Keep your mind open.

French psych-rockers Wall of Death are returning to Levitation Austin. I’ve seen them twice: Once at Levitation Austin 2013 (when it was still known as Austin Psych Fest) and then later that same year when they opened for the Black Angels in Indianapolis. They always put on a good show of loud psych, so I’m interested in hearing their new material.

Swiss electro / house duo Klaus Johann Grobe create an interesting mix of stuff I can best describe as “electro-lounge.” They sample a lot of Euro sounds and lay down some good dance beats.
Levitation Austin is bringing in a lot of electro, synth, and techno acts this year. There are a few I want to see and these two cats are one of them.
