When a lineup hits this hard, you don't overthink it, you just show up.
90.5 The Night and Melting Trends are thrilled to bring four acts to The Basement that run the full spectrum of psychedelic, garage, and groove-drenched rock, headlined by a band that's rapidly becoming one of the most exciting names in the scene, and a Dungeon Fest legend making his triumphant return. This one's personal.
Block Party faithful, you already know. ISTA turned the Bond Street block into a full-body experience last September, and now they're taking it under the stairs where things get close.
This seven-sometimes 8 piece psychedelic supernova, anchored by vocalist Rex Costello and guitarist Ollie Hart, deals in fuzzed-out grooves, danceable riffs, and a live energy that feels like Cake did an all-night bender with Fu Manchu in the desert. Produced by Sam Cohen (Norah Jones, Bob Weir), their sound is tight, trippy, and undeniably alive.
If you were in The Basement on Halloween night for Dungeon Fest, you watched Jake Schaefer channel T. Rex in full costume and absolutely own the room. Now he's back, this time with his own songs.
After a decade with D.C.'s "dirty shirt rock n' roll" band One Way Out, Schaefer launched a solo endeavor rooted in vintage acid rock and heavy psych. His debut record A Home in the Clouds is a self-composed, self-recorded, self-mixed labor of love, described as "a DayGlo splatter of vintage acid rock meets neo-underground heavy psych," with a lyrical structure nodded to Cream and the droning instrumental dystopia of Can. Raw, imperfect, and built for a room like this.
NYC psych rock six-piece Frankie Sunswept & The Sliver Moons brings melodic vocal harmonies, playful time signatures, and polyrhythmic percussion to an eclectic blend of garage rock, psych pop, and world music. Their debut album Nostalgia, inspired by Ethio-jazz, 60s psychedelia, Nigerian desert rock, Krautrock, and Bolivian folk, is a kaleidoscopic time-warp described as "both contemplative and celebratory, motorik and melancholy."
New Brunswick, NJ's own Heathmonger are a three-piece garage-psych outfit who keep it raw, loud, and Jersey-bred. Catch them early, sets like these are what basement shows were made for.
