Austin Psych Fest Live (Saturday): Bombino

Nomad is also a noun representing an individual who can’t seem to stay in one place. It’s a fitting LP title for Bombino, the Tuareg guitarist who swept out of the Sahara Desert three years ago and somehow wound up this weekend inside a dust bowl in Southeast Austin.

Austin Psych Fest Live (Saturday): Boogarins

Having executed their first American performances right here in Austin just six weeks ago during South by Southwest and remaining on tour ever since, Brazilian guitar outfit Boogarins are still counting their blessings. “We’re very happy to be here,” grinned guitarist Benke Ferraz. “This is a dream for us!”

Brian Bosworth is Not Stone-Hearted

In 1991 Brian Bosworth wasn't looking to become a movie star, and he's still not too fond of how it happened.

Austin Psych Fest Live (Saturday): Destruction Unit

Arizona’s Destruction Unit left no noisy stone unturned during its short APF set. First paint-peeling feedback, then hair-whipping thrash, then a driving pound – and that’s all in the first song. Drums and bass rumble forward like tanks on a NASCAR track: loud, faster than may be safe, but on target.

Austin Psych Fest Live (Saturday): Mark McGuire

Mark McGuire was blessed with an infamous name. Disgraced Major League baseball slugger or a slight Ohioan making sparkling, purified New Age music? They’re only a few letters and solar systems apart. As for the latter, you always trust a man whose optimism is such that his Twitter account lists his location as “Earth, B.A. (Before Aquarius).”

Austin Psych Fest Live (Saturday): Mirror Travel

Hard not to notice, out here among the plenitude of longhairs, the supreme dearth of women holding court onstage throughout Psych Fest. For every Zia McCabe, the Dandy Warhols keyboardist, and Yamantaka // Sonic Titan singer Ruby Kato Attwood, there’s six dudes. Fortunately, Austin’s Mirror Travel defies convention.

Austin Psych Fest Live (Friday): Liars

There was a moment last night at Carson Creek Ranch for Austin Psych Fest that it all made sense. A notoriously hard act to pin down, L.A. trio Liars shift tone and texture like you and I might change clothes. Yet in 2014, on their second dance-oriented album Mess, it couldn’t be more obvious. They’re Throbbing Gristle!

Austin Psych Fest Live (Friday): The Zombies

In the decades they were absent from the scene following their breakup in 1968, the Zombies retained a powerful mystique. The original UK quintet’s autumnal, baroque-pop masterpiece Odessey and Oracle continued to gain prestige amongst a growing legion of admirers.

Austin Psych Fest Live (Friday): Terakaft

“Terakaft means ‘caravan.’ They started their caravan in Mali and made it all the way to Austin,” percussionist Brahim Fribgane grinned at the onset of the group’s Austin Psych Fest debut. “Just imagine how long it takes to get from West Africa to Austin!”
