Just picked up the new Superstitions tape from the folks over at Wizard Mountain and it’s pretty awesome.
Includes covers of songs by the Pleasure Seekers and Buck Owens and his Buckaroos. Righteously great stuff even if it is a criminally short tape (a mere 19 minutes!).
This is a new Hollows song that’s not on the plustapes/addenda release. Soooooo amazing!
Trouble in Mind will be putting this out on a 7″ super soon. We can’t wait!
The local psychedelic music community has united under the efforts of the Chicago Metaphysical Circus to put on the city’s first local psych collaborative this January 22nd at the Hideout with experienced travelers Dark Fog, Plastic Crimewave Sound, Vee Dee, and fresh blood Sadhu Sadhu, The Great Society Mind Destroyers, and Black Wyrm Seed (not to mention smokin’ acid rock DJ Velcro Lewis).

PT29 – Old Fake – Covers ltd edition of 200 pro dubbed cassettes
Old Fake is a young band full of old hands trying to reinvigorate rock and roll by taking new approaches to old methods.
Fresh out the gate, “covers” is their first release. Expect unruly-yet-focused energy, pummeling rhythms and caterwauling guitars.. Song selections range from legends (Bowie, Stones and Dylan) to the almost-completely-obscure (Chicago-local, Esoteric Tapioca).
PT28 – Bob Dey’s Tank Engine Man – Bob Dey’s Dream ltd edition of 100 pro-dubbed copies
Bob Dey’s Dream is the musical tale of Mr. Talent as he finds himself taking a night off from working by going to a party. At the party, he indulges in some “party cake” which disagrees with his stomach and sends him home to dream a frightful dream. This is the second album by Chicago’s Bob Dey’s Tank Engine Man which consists of writer Bob Dey and his employee-musician Mark Jumper (Mr. Talent).
PT27 – Rabble Rabble – Jail Bait
ltd edition of 200 pro dubbed cassettes
Rabble Rabble are perhaps one of our favorite live acts in Chicago right now.
We’ve been stoked to check these psych-rockers all over town and at many a sweaty loft show. They’ve never ceased to blow us away every time.
