The band was accompanied by fellow Santa Barbara indie group Dante Elephante, whose music is as wonderful and weird and their name implies.

It was, undoubtedly, a Gardens & Villa show; a social celebration of Santa Barbara’s favorite musical sons.

They’ve got kindred spirits in Bowie and the Moody Blues, thanks to melodies dressed in the fanciful trappings of ’70s psychedelic jams, but unlike their predecessors, these four also weave in lessons from disco and new-wave synth-pop.
