Sounds LikeCareening through the '60s and '70s with Dora Flood, Madame of Cannery Row San Francisco retro/psychedelic rockers Dora Flood have a grand vision—one that encompasses the glory of a symphonic Pink Floyd moment, the panoramic sweep of a Byrds melody, the sublime intricacy of an arrangement by The Church, and the dreamy pump of a Bowie glam-era rocker.

   About dora flood


Over the course of their 7 releases, the band dora flood has produced some of the most notable shoegazing dream-pop to come out of the United States. With praise coming from discerning music magazines like Big Takeover, Skyscraper, Losing Today and Ptolemaic Terrascope, it is no wonder that audiences leave their shows feeling that they witnessed something of a secret, psychedelic phenomenon. These live close encounters, as well as their classic studio work, leave listeners with bold memories of pounding grooves, lush orchestration, and melodies so timeless that they take up residence in the heads of those fortunate enough to cross their path. dora flood "the message"
dora flood "everywhere we go"

As The Counsel, I have to give my thumbs up to a most spectacular show...In fact the psychedelic lights, the bombastic music, and the overall sound was spectacular! Afterglow was the highlight for me!
