For those who like their dose of roots music extremely chilled and rather psych, Alex Bleeker and the Freaks are a treasure to behold. Led by Real Estate’s bassist Alex Bleeker, the group’s latest release dates back to 2013 ("How Far Away" LP) but is going to have a rather active spring this year, with shows in the west coast and Chicago. They’ll be playing Brooklyn as well, on May 7th at Palisades with EZTV and John Andrews & The Yawns.
