ABOUT ABOUT

Kolumbo is a ‘synthedelic’ tropicalia lounge act concept centered upon the stylings of one incredible keyboard wizard named Frank LoCrasto (Cass McCombs, Fruit Bats).  As a live 4-piece act, their performances on both U.S. coasts have had an intoxicating effect; smooth sailing on groovy waves of saccharine synth lines are sometimes swept up into a storm of virtuoso-induced vertigo, transporting us to a romantic faraway island of sound and feeling that can only be reached by tuning into the love language of music.  Kolumbo’s first full-length offering ‘Sandy Legs’ surfaced in 2024 on the Allah-Las’ imprint Calico Discos to rave reviews.

“exquisitely fashioned homage to exotica, blending elements of psychedelia, tropicalia, and funk into a fantasy tiki bar evening” - New Commute

Miller Carr songs slither into your consciousness like peace pipe smoke crawling through the wilderness, imbuing the listener with a bewildering tapestry of musical cultures – but most importantly a sense of purpose.  His music and poetry hit with the rare air of asylum seekers; immigrants and bohemians; anarchists and beats.  Despite his reverential nods to a bygone era, his music is always in motion: imaginative progressions chugging along as his steely voice serenades the restless spirit in all of us.  A native son of Northern California who has become a widely respected artist and raconteur, Miller Carr has toured the U.S. and Spain, and is currently working on his 10th studio album.

FFO: Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan

Show starts early with opening set from Open Head Records' own Fek & the Future Friends of Sound. 21+
