Upcoming Event: Austin's Annual Psych Festival all Set to Provide 3 Days of Tripped Out Awesomeness.

Yes, the time is drawing nigh - the annual Austin Psych Fest is a mere week away, so it's time to prepare yourself for an onslaught of glorious noise, eloquent jams, legendary musicians rubbing shoulders with legends-to-be, unearthly feedback and distortion, sonic freedom, and awesome attitudes. And, let's just be frank, bad ass light shows. I'm such a sucker for those, provided the setting is right. The Austin PsychFest is absolutely the proper setting for epic light shows. WHO DOESN'T LIKE LASERS? Come on.

Anyway, the Festival begins on Friday, April 29th and runs through Sunday, May 1st. Follow the provided links to get any and all info you could possibly want about the Austin PsychFest. You should also attend, because it is going to be mindblowing. Below I've posted videos from a few Psychfest bands that'll be playing. Throughout the week I will post other videos depicting Psychfest acts playing at the festival. Great stuff lined up.

By the way: Your attendance to the festival is mandatory, but we will consider *reasonable* excuses for absences. But folks living relatively near by, you really must not miss this.
