Sugar Candy Mountain w/Los Calicos Helping to spearhead a revival of neo-psychedelic pop, Oakland's SUGAR CANDY MOUNTAIN fuses sunny, retro sounds with lush, sophisticated composition. Blending classic '60s West Coast psychedelia with pastoral folk and pulling inspiration from pop experimentalists and Brazilian Tropicalia. Their latest album "Do Right" takes a more modern approach layering vibrant synths alongside more organic instrumentation. Oscillating between the hazy psychedelic pop of Mild High Club, the driving energy of Tame Impala and the danceable familiarity of The Supremes, they're a perfect cocktail of old and new. With locals LOS CALICOS (members of THE CALIFORNIA POPPIES)! $17 advance / $20. 21+
