Garcia Peoples can’t/won’t stop—it seems like they’re on every good bill and making every good bill better. A couple of their most recent shows had them in opening slots at Music Hall of Williamsburg, first for Träd, Gräs och Stenar and next for Kikagaku Moyo. We caught a recording of the former and it’s one of the band’s best gigs yet (at least that I’ve seen). Opening up with the now-classic “One Step Behind” into “Hangin’ On,” they follow with a couple newer tunes, “Break Me Down” and “I Feel So Great.” Word is the next two(!) records are in the can, both to come out on the essential Beyond Beyond is Beyond label. Jesse Jarnow summed up the Garcias’ appeal nicely in this recent Relix review and I couldn’t agree more, calling their album Cosmic Cash “an underground musical cryptocurrency for our supremely fucked-up age.” I feel pretty great too now that you mention it.
Garcia Peoples have a bunch of shows coming up, including a year-end West Coast tour with Howlin’ Rain (attendance is mandatory folks), but if you’re in NYC your next chance to catch them in action is at Union Pool on November 14.
