An impressive duo of bands out of California in the style of psychedelic singer/songwriter are breezing through our increasingly chilling southwest Michigan autumn in the capacity of No Fun House on Tuesday, November 16, 2010.  They go by the monikers Moomaw and Gravid Wives.

Moomaw’s sound is dark psych-folk; if you like Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, Pearls Before Swine, Simon Finn, Love, Townes Van Zandt, Gram Parsons, or 13th Floor Elevators, there should be something to behold in this band for you.  Nathan Moomaw fronts the band, you can listen to a bare-bones version of one of his songs here, proving the strength of the tunes:

Gravid Wives have a slightly more rock-oriented approach to their psychedelic pop, though it’s easy to understand why these two bands are congenial to each other and touring together.

Kalamazoo’s The Philly Crawlers will be supplying their psych-pop slices for those in attendance to hungrily devour. Show begins at 9 p.m. SHARP! and will cost only $2!  These three bands will bring a lot of songcraft to the table.  If you don’t know where No Fun House is located, ask someone or hit up ditkalamazoo@gmail.com, baby!
