Infinite Apaches
Infinite Apaches are a relatively new five piece who play a definitely psych-rocky mix of pretty much everything good. They told me that their live style is influenced mostly by whoever they've been listening to at the time, and I believe it.
These kids get an extra special mention for picking out some exceptional music to play after their set - I let them loose in the library and they came back with Art Blakey, Leonard Cohen, and Roxy Music. Obviously it's a great sign when a band has unimpeachable taste in music outside of what you might figure to be their genre. Check out these four tracks and see if you can spot how it all comes together.
