Never mind the childishly droll band name, Sex Helicopter are quite an exciting new act based in DTLA that bill themselves as a retro psych-rock band. Which does makes sense, though it’d be a disservice to place them in the same context as bands like Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Tame impala. Their first single, Everything As It Should Be", doesn’t share the same sonic framework as these bands, instead opting for a more ringing sound that could be described as a lighter, more pop-oriented version of the Greateful Dead. They’re making an appearance in Tommy’s Place as part of USC Popfest tomorrow, March 28.
