Let the music take over when New York City’s hottest psychedelic rock
bands, *Psychic Ills* and *Heaven*, collide for a night of intense and
powerful
tunes.

*About Psychic Ills:*
The seekers in New York City’s Psychic Ills have spent more than a decade
following their muse wherever it takes them. First gaining attention
through their debut record Dins in 2006, they have released five studio
albums and numerous EPs and singles that explore a variety of musical
directions. The band’s longest-running members are *Tres Warren* and *Elizabeth
Hart*. They began working with Sacred Bones Records in 2011 with the
release of Hazed Dream. One Track Mind followed two years later in 2013. In
2016 they released the sprawling double album Inner Journey Out, the
culmination of an odyssey of three years of writing, traversing the
psych-rock landscape they’ve carved throughout their career and taking
inspired pilgrimages into country, blues, gospel, and jazz.

*About Heaven:*
A romantic clash between your dad’s long-lost favorite psych record and the
soundtrack to a John Hughes film, Heaven rides a massive sonic wave in
delivering dear and dreamy tracks. Band members include *Matt Sumrow*
(vocals and guitar), *Mikey Jones* (drums), *Liz Lohse* (keyboards), and *Eric
Altesleben* (guitars). Their sophomore album, All Love is Blue was released
on March 2, 2018 via Little Cloud Records. Their latest work is a quantum
leap forward for the band, both artistically and sonically, making the
protracted wait between albums a huge payoff.

years and is the brother of ethnobotanist Terence McKenna, looking for new
