This is fine.
The city of Austin is gearing up for Levitation Festival (Psych Fest) in just a short couple of weeks and you have to know your friends at ATH will do our best to get you ready. I’m kicking off the coverage today with an interview from San Diego based psych rock group Amerikan Bear. Let’s get it on after the jump.
What’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…
Wow.
I’m in.
We’re in.
We’re pretty impressed. The artist formerly known as Austin Psych Fest killed it. Jesus and Mary Chain playing Psychocandy? The Flaming Lips? Tame Impala? …and plenty of returning favorites. Damn. Click on the image or watch the video, people.

We 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.
