Tonight, some folks from across the pond are bringing their psychedelic feel to our fair city.

All the way from the UK, THE TELESCOPES are here. They play fuzz and swell like it’s nobody’s business. Their tracks are haunting and ethereal without being long-winded. Their vocals are pleasant and direct. They drone, they sample. The are a force to be reckoned with.

Accompanying The Telescopes on their travels, LSD AND THE SEARCH FOR GOD is in from the sunny shores of California. They wash out their pop music with fuzz, filters, ‘verb, and the occasional burst of noise. Their sound is much more shoegaze-influenced than their tour-mates, and that’s just fine.

THE VANDELLES are on the road too, but from the opposite coast of Brooklyn. They mix surf-rock with sharp objects to get a sound that makes you feel a lot like throwing down and and subsequently not picking up after yourself.

Finally, local Shoegazers CRASH CITY SAINTS will be bringing the support. They’re dancy, fancy, and rock real good.

This show was originally at Louie’s Trophy House, but it has been moved to the downtown VFW! Find it at

The cost is $10 at the door, which opens at 7:30. The music will start at 8pm and go until everyone is done dancing. All the touring bands will have much merch as well, I’m sure!
