Show Review: Austin Psych Fest

Leave a comment

The group over at Levitation have been dominating the Austin landscape with incredible lineups for nearly two decades, and we were fortunate to be on-hand this year at The Far Out Lounge. The line-up did not have a single weak spot, and the weather was actually pretty great, all things considered (warm but not hot!). Take a jump below and read some thoughts on the festival and the acts on hand. Special thanks to Michael Maly for his photography gifts. Check more of his work HERE.

Austin Psych Fest Returns This April

Leave a comment

After a brief break, then transitioning to Levitation, Austin Psych Fest made its return last year; they’ve slimmed it down and made it two action packed days of psychedelic jams for the masses. Today they’ve announced the new lineup, and the headliners are surely going to turn heads. You’ve got Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed at the top…also Yo La Tengo and Kim Gordon, but I want you to remember that the bottom of the bill is where the folks at Resound and Levitation excel. I mean, Dummy put out one of the best records last year, and I still feel like the cool kids haven’t quite caught on yet. Oh, and Dean Wareham is going to do a Galaxie 500 set! This is going to be bonkers, so get your tickets now while you can! The fest goes on from April 25- 27; grab tickets right HERE. Brought to you by Levitation and Resound Presents.

 

Austin Psych Fest Announces Line-Up

Leave a comment

Fresh off a rad year at Levitation, those good folks announce the line-up of their Spring edition Austin Psych Fest. After being gone for a bit, it’s been a great return to the Austin music schedule, with this year’s event taking place over the weekend of April 26 – 28! Line-up highlights include heavy hitters like Courtney Barnett, Dehd, Alvvays and Kurt Vile, but you know they always work hard to develop and curate, so expect some surprises as we draw nearer the date. You can grab tickets tomorrow via PreSale, and tickets go out to the public on Friday. Check HERE to get yours! The whole event will take place at the Far Out Lounge, home of $13 Miller Lite Drafts.

Ty Segall? Woods? Parquet Courts? Delicate Steve? Chicano Batman? What more could you possibly want from a festival?!

ATH @ Austin Psych Fest’s Levitation 2015

Leave a comment

Time to reflect on Levitation 2015. I liked the name change away from Austin Psych Fest when it was announced as there are several bands that that may meander towards that genre, fans of the genre may love, but just aren’t “Psych” bands. I hope they continue to expand the diversity of the lineup. With that, let’s talk about this year and then you can gander a whole mess of photos taken at the fest.

ICYMI: Levitation Schedule Released

LEVITATION-2015-SQUAREWhat’s up, nerds?

Late last week, Austin Psych Fest announced the schedule for this year’s Levitation Festival. I love it. Even if you have a conflict, you will have an opportunity to meander in the fringes and bolster you festival band count. If you don’t want to meander, you’ll have nice breaks between bands to allow for extra-curricular activities like, ya know, eating and drinking and not dehydrating and shrivelling. It is not a sprint, it is a marathon.

Can’t wait to be miserably tired when The FLaming Lips take the stage on Sunday at 11:45pm…

Austin Psych Fest Is Now Levitation

L2015-DATES-ANNOUNCE-1-800x6001We have some more festival related news form the Austin Psych Fest people.

First, the fest will hence forth be referred to as Levitation. I’m cool with it, better branding than Austin Psych Fest and it will keep people from pitching a fit when a band that isn’t “Psych” is announced on the lineup. Second, the aforementioned lineup is coming 12/3. Third, the dates that lineup will be playing out at Carson Creek Ranch again will be May 8-10. Fourth, Transmission is now engaged in the festival’s goings-on. Finally, there are a few early-bird passes for sale, y’all.

Ticket info here.
