“Their expansive sound, penchant for experimentation and incredible shows combine a psychedelic southern blues-rock aesthetic with danceable electronics… Continually exhilarating.” –David Dye, NPR’s World Cafe

Austin’s The Bright Light Social Hour are widely recognized as the essence of Texas psych rock – no one better captures or defies the genre, twisting southern blues, hypnotic grooves, and pulsing synths into sweaty, ecstatic journeys that linger long after the lights go up.

From retro-futurist masterpieces like Space Is Still the Place and Emergency Leisure to composing for HBO, MTV, Nintendo, and the award-winning theme for Sneaky Pete at Bryan Cranston’s request, their music drifts between cosmic psychedelia and late-night dancefloor heat, weaving fat basslines, ecstatic percussion, and three-part harmonies that sting and soothe at once.

Live, they’re a full-body experience: part revival, part warehouse party, part cosmic trip – music that hits the chest, drops the booty and tears the fabric of the understood.
