Birds of Avalon guys do a sort of southern rock take on hard-riding psych jams that have been known to rise to the ethereal occasion into proggy ambient grooves. Please do not take “jams” or “grooves” lightly. Sometimes they sound like The Allman Brothers too. If you're allergic, you may not want to click here to see a rough video.
They're touring North America as you read this. Dizzying!
