Show Review: Austin Psych Fest
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.
Since its inception in 2008 as ‘Austin Psych Fest,’ this Austin-based music festival has built a strong reputation. It offers a diverse lineup of underground, punk, electronic, and shoegaze acts, standing in stark contrast to the larger, more mainstream Austin festival that takes place earlier in the month. The festival features a wide range of underground, punk, electronic, hardcore, shoegaze, and psych-rock acts. It blends established genre titans with progressive newcomers, offering high-quality performances across 11 venues over four days in Austin, TX. The flexible programming allows fans to choose between a single day built around an established headliner or a full weekend exploring diverse genre options across several downtown venues. The one exception is the Far Out Lounge, a short trek south of the city’s center. A venue with two stages makes the location ideal for a day packed with constant action on stage.
