Local favorites Magic Mirror have settled in at Casey’s this month for a free Friday night residence. The Irish pub serves as a fitting backdrop for the band’s weary, soulful psych rock. Last week they brought along special guest Jason Simon of Dead Meadow, who performed a haunting acoustic set accompanied by members of Magic Mirror and Lower Heaven.
This Friday Exploding Flowers and DJ Tami are along to help close out the last night of the residency. Exploding Flowers features former members of The Moon Upstairs. Word has it that the spacey Floyd-isms of that band have been supplanted by a healthy love for Guided By Voices and jangly guitars. Tami ‘s specialty is spinning deep cuts from rock’s beloved cult heroes, so with any luck Nikki Sudden and Ian Hunter will take turns serenading the crowd between sets.
Casey’s is located at 13 South Grand Avenue, Downtown L.A. 90017.
