LSD and the Search for God has a lot of young fans

I’m not sure if I’m just used to going to 21+ shows, or way out of touch with the scene, but I was genuinely surprised to see mostly kids at their show in Chicago last night. I was seemingly one of a handful of middle-aged folks in the crowd.

I was under the assumption that most of their fanbase were older ‘gazers, already deeply steeped in the genre. Boy, was I dead wrong. Not that it’s any kind of qualifier, but I doubt most of these kids have even thought about listening to MBV, or dropping LSD, for that matter.

I’m not really sure what my point is, but good on them for building a seemingly solid fanbase with only 2 EPs over the span of 20+ years, and good for those kids for having solid taste as well.

They do sound great live, btw. The Cobra Lounge sound mixer did a great job with such a small room.
