Psych-rock bands are everywhere. There’s an entire festival in Texas dedicated to the best of them, but Levitation Room rises above nearly any outfit on the road right now.

Self-produced for the last decade, the Los Angeles quartet is led by singer and guitarist Julian Porte who guides founding members Gabriel Fernandez (lead guitar) and Johnathan Martin (percussion) through the band’s latest album,

Strange Weathe r.

The effort finds Levitation room moving past the fascination with ‘60s garage-rock on the band’s first two album and into the ‘70s where the psychedelia gets a sprinkling of lo-fi atmospherics, Summer of Love melodies, and some piano, too.

St. Petersburg instrumental quartet Soft Cuff (FFO: Daptone Records) and bedroom bop maker Peli Gene open.

Tickets to see Levitation Room play Hooch and Hive in Tampa on Friday, May 3 are still available and start at $17.
