San Francisco psych-rock/shoegazers, LSD and the Search for God recently played Cheer Up Charlie’s with famed UK band The Telescopes. While we were happy to watch the legacy act from Britain, our focus was on the incredible musicians that form LSDATSFG. These ten-year music scene veterans have hit on a formula for making mind-expanding music that when set to a visually appealing light show like the one The Black Angels’ light man, Bob Mustachio put together for LSD. The show may have taken place on the smaller inside stage at CUC but the performance felt as expansive as it would have outside under the Texas stars. 

Booked by Austin Music Award winner, Trish Connelly (The Nothing Song), LSD and the Search for God’s eight-song setlist was the same the group employed a night later in San Antonio and the rest of the recent tour. Currently the group is back in San Francisco recouping from a short, but intense trip across the country. You can hear their latest effort, Heaven is a Place (2016) via the band’s Bandcamp page. We recommend giving it a listen or two, preferably in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. Enjoy the trip.
