Synth-punk weirdos POW! are playing Levitation Austin at Barracuda on April 29th at 10:50pm. It’s a sold-out show at with them opening for Oh Sees. They pay a quirky, catchy brand of electro-rock that I think will be a treat live. I hope you can make it.

Another Austin band that will be melting minds at Levitation Austin this year is SURVIVE. They play a cool, creepy style of synthwave that pays great homage to John Carpenter and they’re well known for their work on the Stranger Things soundtrack. They’ll play the second set at Stubb’s BBQ on April 28th starting around 9pm. This will be the show to see if you’re in the mood for something spooky at the festival.
Keep your mind open.

Psychedelic supergroup MIEN will be making their live debut at Levitation Austin this year (April 27th at Stubb’s BBQ starting 7:30pm). The band consists of members of the Black Angels, Elephant Stone, the Horrors, and the Earlies. Their set will surely be one of the highlights of the festival, so don’t miss it.

Another Chilean psych-rock band that will play Levitation Austin this year is the cosmic trio of Follakzoid. I first heard of these cats a few years ago and put them on a list of bands I wanted to research. Now I’ll get to see them live, which is the best research one can do on a new band. They’re closing Barracuda on April 27th with their 12:30am set. It’s sure to be a great cap on the evening.
Keep your mind open.

Prolific Australian psych-rockers King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have another album ready to roll on April 29, 2016. Nonagon Infinity is now available for pre-order through the band’s Bandcamp page and the first single, “Gamma Knife,” can be heard there. It’s a loud rocker with heavy harmonica and some of their fastest drumming.
Nonagon Infinity will be released the first day of Levitation Austin, at which King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are playing, so I’m looking forward to hearing this album live.
Keep your mind open.

Texas psychedelic rockers Holy Wave have announced extensive European tour dates through the spring to promote their upcoming album Freaks of Nuture.
They’re kicking off the tour with a record release party at Barracuda in Austin, Texas February 26th and then it’s off to Europe. I’m hoping they’ll be back in the U.S. in time to play Levitation Austin at the end of April.
You can hear Holy Wave’s excellent new single, “California Took My Bobby Away,” right here on the Levitation Austin website.
