Tonight’s show offers a dizzying (and bicoastal) array of
psychoactive rock. Representing the West Coast are Black Mountain
(Vancouver, BC) and Howlin’ Rain (San Francisco); from back East come
Brooklyn bands Yeasayer and MGMT. Black Mountain deals in druggy
classic-rock dirges, Yeasayer in oddly hopeful millennial gospel. But
most exciting is MGMT, a young duo who met at Wesleyan College.
Their tripping ranges from liberal-arts-school noise jams to poppy,
polished psych-funk to bleary-eyed ante meridiem folk. (Neumo’s,
