Psych & Fury: Levitation 2019

Is Austin, Texas’ Levitation the best psychedelic music fest in America? The World? With four days and nights of stacked lineups that get rockers moving from venue to venue, filling the streets with all sorts of strange for indoor and outdoor shows, it’s hard to argue the contrary. We sent psych rock aficionado, Suzette Subliminal out there to capture slices of the sublime and as you can see below, every act seemingly performed sets that were as transcendant as they were transformative. The likes of Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile, John Cale, Tobacco, and A Place to Bury Strangers made this year’s festival one for the ages. Check out the pics below!

Rob Smith claimed Pasadena, Nick Cave DTLA, J Mascis Hollywood, Billy Corgan Highland Park, Moz was here too but we pretend he wasn’t. It’s something in the air. Santa Ana’s, with the help of PG&E, lit forests like candles in a vigil. The days when the only crises you had to worry about were existential are gone. All that remains is the music and the people who don’t seem to mind. Myself included.
