For a decade and a half, NorCal psychedelic sorcerers CARLTON MELTON have yo-yo’ed between two modes: walloping space jams with furious guitar solos in one hemisphere of the brain and ethereal, feather-light splashdowns in the other. Not to mention a track here and there that builds from the latter into the former. But with two new releases in 2023, the band has evolved. Whether psych rock or ambient trance, their sound remains driving, organic, and flowing. But with the addition of Anthony Taibi (White Manna, DDT), the group’s metal freak-outs are Hawkwindier and their droning kraut trances are Spacemen 3-er.
With the "negative vibrations" of Arcata band MERCURY SUCKERS. Bar opens at 6pm with music shortly after.
EARLY SHOW, 6 pm - 9 pm, before karaoke! 21+
