Eight Gigs: MindFlowers

Wish summer of ’16 was more like the Summer of Love? Go see MindFlowers—locals that inhaled a bay breeze carrying the rich history of psychedelic rock. Last year’s ///3 was drenched in reverb and hummed from blown-out fuzz tones, but never harshed that high. Tracks like “///Jumper///” and “///Stoney Inn///” will delight that pop trigger in the brain’s pleasure center, while “///Heat Wave///” will be the lean-in anthem for standing in a windowless venue on the second story in the dead of summer. 517 21st Street, http://soundcloud.com/
