Calgary psychedelic ’60s influenced band Devonian Gardens returned to the Owl Acoustic Lounge, April 26 to supply some more psychedelic 12 string powered weirdness.
They entertained practically a full house for a fundraiser for the Electric Eye Music Festival, most of whom were clustered up front near the band.
The band members spread onto the floor for this show.
A big blue harp dominated the right hand side and the two frontwoman, dressed in big sunglasses, vintage hats and ponchos, looked like they just stepped out of the audience at a mid ’70s Fleetwood Mac concert, sang behind a wall of synthesizers and effects units.
The was only the one 12 string guitar this time (last time they had two), but it all worked together to create an even more ’60s and ’70s inspired wall of weirdness. But there were catchy melodies and plenty of percussion and of course those great 12 string guitar hooks.
