British band Loop took the psychedelic onset of the 1960s and created their own sound that made them one of the premier UK bands of the 1980s, sharing sensibilities with like-minded psych, shoegaze, and alternative rock contemporaries. After a successful string of UK dates including a huge show at ATP last year, Loop will return to the US for the first time in 24 years this spring. Most importantly, the string of dates will feature a performance at Austin Psych Fest, set for its 7th installation and 2nd at its new home at Carson Creek Ranch. We had a blast last year. Consider the incredible lineup this year, buying tickets now is highly advised. Below you can hear a track from Loop’s 1986 album Heaven’s End. Full tour dates follow.
