“After several years spent mapping the outer fringes of modern psychedelia, Los Angeles collective Hooveriii (pronounced “Hoover Three”) return with Manhunter — a rich and expansive fifth album that smartly ties together the raw urgency of their earlier work with the more cinematic ambitions they’ve been gradually embracing. If their self-titled debut in 2018 introduced a lo-fi garage-psych outfit with a taste for sci-fi aesthetics and fuzzy repetition, it was 2021’s Water for the Frogs that marked a pivot toward a broader, more kosmische-inflected sound.That shift continued with A Round of Applause in 2022 — a bright, synth-heavy, glam-adjacent set that pushed the band’s melodic instincts to the fore — and again with Pointe in 2023, a somewhat more introspective affair that explored mood and atmosphere over immediacy. Each of these records showed a band in transition, growing more confident in their ability to fuse Motorik rhythms, space rock textures, and big pop hooks into something uniquely theirs.Now, with Manhunter, have Hooveriii fully arrived — drawing together all those disparate threads into a coherent, fully-formed vision? A casual first listen tells me that it’s a record that reaches backward as much as it pushes forward, tapping into 70s prog, glam, krautrock, post-punk, and new age to build something dense but not impenetrable, ambitious but never overwrought. It’s also, at its core, a rock record — unafraid of riffage, melody, or swagger.” –staticsoundsclubVersatile musician and artíste extraordinaire Briggance is making a rare (lately) appearance out of the musical studio dungeon to perform a solo event. Come see what the master ceramacist and Tin Foil drum master has cooked up for this one!Are they too new to be called a supergroup? Well, yeah, techically. Dori is the new band on the town made up of Zoe Hecker of ZEM, sound engineer and keyboard prolific Kolton Sarate, Gordy Russ of Tigra and Taylor. Funky post-punk art rock poppy stuff.The young punks in town Hondo round out the bill, they got big big amps, and are very very hungry.The legendary Rich Hansen is spinnin’ wax!
