On their first trip to our nearby Atlanta, Geese delivered another one of the iconic live shows to an audience of around 200. Having gained some serious mainstream traction with their latest and most acclaimed LP, 3D Country, this could be one of the last shows the band plays in a small venue for quite some time. After the 3D Country Tour, the band will go on to play over a dozen shows opening for Greta Van Fleet, one of the biggest bands in the world at the moment, on their 2024 tour. With this opportunity in the spotlight, the band is sure to catapult into a more serious and well deserved higher realm of popularity, so I felt quite fortunate to see them at such an intimate location.

Few bands have garnished the cult-like following of Panchiko over the last decade, but if any modern rockers could give them a run for their money, LSD and the Search for God would be at the top of the list. Without ever having had publicly released a studio album, the band still maintains recognition as one of modern shoegaze's top dogs, and on this warm summer evening they set the mood perfectly. Catchy riffs over a wall of fuzzy sound is something that listeners of the genre, and this group in particular, should be all too familiar with, but its always interesting to see how a shoegaze group can translate the music into a live performance. Here is where LSD showed their dexterity and experience, particularly in the rhythmic aspect. Shoegaze drumming often gets downplayed as simple and derivative, but Scott Eberhardt absolutely nailed it on hit songs like "Backwards" and "Starting Over", at times carrying the middle sections of some songs with crafty fills while Chris Fifield and Andy Liszt were working to achieve that perfect tone. In between songs the band, unsurprisingly, spent no time addressing the crowd, but instead used each songs lingering swirl of fuzz and delay to add a nice ambient feedback interlude between each song, yielding a nice sense of continuity across the set. The 45 some-odd minutes of noise built up into an extended cut of an unreleased song "New," which closed the set perfectly.
