Following a successful inaugural event in October, the
folks behind the Cincy Psych Fest — celebrating the best in local and
regional Psych Rock — aren’t just hanging out waiting for next year’s
festival to celebrate and revel in the trippiness. This Friday at MOTR
Pub, the CPF presents its first show of the ongoing “Cincy Psych Fest
Showcase Series.” The free, 10 p.m.
concert features Fort Wayne, Ind.,
quartet (or quintet, if you count their psych-visuals artist, Doctor
Robert, and his Ocular Odyssey) Heaven’s Gateway Drugs, a highlight of
the October fest, as well as Troubadour Dali, which was voted best Psych
Band in their hometown of St. Louis by readers of alt-weekly The Riverfront Times
(the quartet performed at the 2012 MidPoint Music Festival, as well).
The Cincy Psych Fest Showcase Series will continue throughout next year
at various venues around our area. Well, assuming the Mayans were wrong
(Friday’s show is being billed as an “End of the World Showcase”). Keep
up on the latest at cincypsychfest.com. Free. Friday Dec. 21. MOTR Pub, 1345 Main St.,
Over-the-Rhine. motrpub.com.
