Brooklyn psychedelic rock band Acid Dad are excited to announce their own installment of Levitation Sessions, the live performance series that has recently featured some of the brightest stars in the psych rock world (OSEES, Fuzz, Acid Mothers Temple and more). Purchase tickets HERE, and watch a teaser of the band performing "Living With A Creature" HERE.
On the heels of announcing their upcoming LP Take It From The Dead ( out June 11, 2021 via Greenway Records / The Reverberation Appreciation Society), New York's Acid Dad transports us to another realm via their green screen studio and the visuals of Webb Hunt. The setlist features some fresh takes on Acid Dad classics and the live debut of new tracks from their upcoming album.
During 2020, the band spent their time building a new studio space in Queens, NY, while continuing to independently produce all their own music, art and even building their own guitars. With a new space and vision, the band produced their second LP, “Take It From The Dead,” set to be co-released in June 2021 by Brooklyn’s Greenway Records and psych powerhouse LEVITATION’s label, The Reverberation Appreciation Society.

“This was our first attempt at shooting and performing in front of our blue screen rig we made in our studio in Queens, NY," the band says. "We’ve always talked about doing a blue screen shoot where we could be totally encompassed by CGI FX, but wasn't until quarantine and not having the option to play shows to finally execute the idea. It’s hard to tell, but it was about 110 degrees in there with all the lights going so there is that authentic show time sweat.
Our visual artist, Webb Hunt, did an amazing job doing all the FX and different CGI looks for the session. It took weeks to edit and create, but it was totally worth creating this swimming pool of feedback and colors. We wanted to make a session that no one else was doing look wise. Something familiar but different and extremely psychedelic.
We reworked a bunch of our older songs with newer tempos and parts to create unique compositions for LEVITATION as well as debuting some newer songs from our upcoming album. It feels strange being off a stage for so long but it’s really exciting being able to attempt to recreate that experience in a multimedia virtual space."
