Cosmic crusaders The Asteroid #4 are making their return to Johnny Brenda’s tonight. Since the mid-90’s these ‘genteel woodsmen’ have been making fuzzed out space jams the likes of Brian Jonestown Massacre, Lillys and 60’s pop ancestors. They mix a cocktail of shimmering harmonies, breezy, churning guitars, pounding drums and haunting atmosphere that manages to pay homage to their many influences while still maintaining a sound all their own. The band’s last released was These Flowers of Ours: A Treasury of Witchcraft & Devilry in 2008, but a new album is expected for this year. One-time cacophonous 4-track project turned full band The Sounds of Kaleidoscope and former-Extraordinaire and Punk Rock Payroll’s Lux Perpetua will be joining them on this journey.
