Killer Kaya (album release), Los Alcos, Temple of Love

Austin-via-Santa Barbara ensemble Killer Kaya describes their music as “foggy prog with a psychedelic rim.” Indeed, this trippy quintet recalls the sounds of Sixties psychedelia and Seventies funk: Apoorva Chiplunkar’s got the witchy vocals of Grace Slick, and guitarists Zach Rengert and Eric Engel anchor 2017 instrumental track “29 Lives” with the rhythmic strums of Nile Rodgers. The band debuts new LP Live at Wall of Fog alongside Latin fusion act Los Alcos and “Southern goth” post-punks Temple of Love, opening the night with a sonic curveball. – Carys Anderson
