Don't Miss
This year's inaugural Dreamgaze Festival will seep dreamy sounds through the St. Johns neighborhood for two days of experimental post-punk, shoegaze, and psych-rock tunes. Don't miss a performance from pioneering shoegaze band the Veldt, whose unique R&B-infused dream pop has led them on tour alongside goth household names like Cocteau Twins, the Jesus and Mary Chain, and Echo & the Bunnymen. If you're unfamiliar with the Veldt’s music, I recommend checking out their 1994 debut, Afrodisiac, which Pitchfork hailed as one of the top 50 shoegaze albums ever released. Other highlights from the lineup include the Prids, Mint Field, Somesurprises, Dead Leaf Echo, and Citrus Clouds.
