Spearheaded by singer/songwriter/guitarist Ben Glover, the group play neo-psychedelic
music extremely influenced by Syd Barrett and early Pink Floyd, delivering odes
to dissociation, time machines, looking glasses, the fifth dimension, and the
like on both space rockers and more fey orchestrated pop-psychedelia. Their

You seem to have a higher turnover rate than Spinal Tap when it comes to drummers...If I had some spare time I'd come over and beat a set of drums into submission for you. Your homing beacon seems to be functioning,so set the controls for the heart of the French Quarter...
You're right about that, but the weather is gorgeous! SD reminds me of a clean New Orleans with a lot more to offer; except New Orleans might have a better music scene. I'll let you know about that. Break a leg in NYC! Sorry I can't be there for it.
