Photo By Felicia Graham Levitation (formerly known as Austin Psych Fest) began as a simple idea in a Black Angels tour van in 2007 -- let’s invite all our favorite bands and all our friends, for our version of a music festival.   The first Austin Psych Fest was held in March 2008, and expanded to a 3 day event the following year. From there, the festival quickly developed into an international destination for psychedelic rock fans, with lineups spanning the fringes of indie rock, from up-and-comers to vintage legends, and capped off with headlining performances from The Black Angels each year. The Black Angels and Levitation helped spark a movement, inspiring the creation of similar events across the globe and a burgeoning psych scene that would soon ignite. “Austin’s importance as the breeding ground for psych is finally on people’s radars thanks to Levitation.” – The Guardian “The lineup is adventurous and well-curated… one of the best boutique festivals in the country” – Austin Statesman “Austin Psych Fest has developed from a 10 band bill of like-minded acts in a small venue, to a 3-day celebration of the finest mind-expanding sounds currently being made.” – Consequence of Sound “The annual Austin Psych Fest is becoming the All Tomorrow’s Parties of the South… with a lineup that traces a new psychedelic era.” – The Austin Chronicle “Each year we get to see our friends and music community from around the world gathered in Austin, and we've been able to share the stage with many of our music heroes. Playing at Levitation is like playing at the psychedelic Olympics, and everyone walks away with a gold medal.” – The Black Angels’ Alex Maas The Black Angels - Live at Levitation Track Listing: SIDE A  1.
