Back in July Paul McCartney issued a video for the track “Early Days” feauring two aspiring musicians in the American deep south of the 1950’s, which led to a massive impromptu Blues-jamming Session in Los Angeles with Paul, Johnny Depp and other local musicians Al Williams, Roy Gaines, Dale Atkins, Henree Harris, Lil Poochie and Misha Lindes strumming through a number of Blues Classics including “Goin Away Blues” and “Matchbox”. The film will be made available with a Deluxe Edition of “New” later this year.

Like a cross between a post garage rock band,  that you would find on your favorite Nuggets collection of bands, Los Angeles outfit Mystic Braves makes fuzzy, dusty, and pleasantly chunky psych-rock with California vibes for days. Mystic Braves has accomplished so far a great deal, in terms of music and live gigging, in its five years of existence. The road-warrior five-piece has perfected its far out, low-key freak-out of a set through tireless touring , but that hasn’t kept them from dropping three increasingly gnarly and surprisingly enduring albums that sometimes call to mind a sand-surfing trance in the key of Creedence Clearwater Revival (only subtler, more dreamy, and less soulful).

For a little taste of what you can expect from the band’s groovy live performance, dig the video below. Next, get out your best paisley duds and over-sized sunglasses.

California Psychedelic Popsters MYSTIC BRAVES with sounds of reverb laden cool guitars and loads of Farfisa organ, mystic Braves are Julian Ducatenzeiler (guitar & vocals), Tony Malacara (bass & vocals), Shane Stotsenberg (guitar & vocals),  Cameron Gartung (drums), Ignacio Gonzalez (organ/tambourine)
