The Stranger

Local psychedelic-arts collective Portable Shrines has hit the jackpot tonight, landing two of America's finest mind-warpers. Indian Jewelry, from Texas, excel at both erecting majestic drones and forging a sort of tantric garage rock that makes a thrilling virtue out of repetitive, distortion-saturated riffing. Brooklyn's Psychic Ills have morphed from 13th Floor Elevators/Spacemen 3 acolytes into a much stranger beast, a kind of lysergic dub unit. On the recent Mirror Eye, their tracks throb, glow, and drift in a disorienting haze. (Funhouse, 206 Fifth Ave N, 374-8400. 9:30 pm, $7, 21+.) by Dave Segal
