San Franciscans have never forgotten the day-glo '60s, when Haight Street dwellers expanded their minds with psychoactive drugs and Pink Floyd's Saucer Full of Secrets. Even now, there's still a healthy psychedelia following in our fair city. Tonight, Radio Moscow's garage-y blues jams will be preceded by the heavy, sonic sprawl of contemporary SF psych-rockers, Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound. With songs like "The Chocolate Maiden's Misty Summer Morning," expect a noisy freak-out that will transport you to the ruins of Pompeii, up into Mars' orbit, and back in time to the UFO club circa 1967. Far out, man.

Elbo Room says…

There is a crooked thread that runs backward through every Assemble Head record — the celestial trajectories of The Notorious Byrd Brothers and circa '70s Floyd; the dusty canyon stomps of Crazy Horse, slashing action pop of the savage young Who, Italian bastardizations of Lalo Schifrin cop movie scores, and the scuzz-bomb shrapnel of latter-day garage mongers like Mudhoney and Monoshock.
