Santoros' Detroit Bar residency has been flipping amazing thus far, bringing various Lolipop records artists to come and support the long-haired rock group every Monday night for free. Drinking Flowers is another such band to look out for; their fuzzy guitar is supported by calm, echo-y vocals and reverb, sounding like a calmer, more toned down version of Thee Oh Sees. Simultaneously reminiscent of the drony alt-rock of the early '90s and the trippy incantations of Syd Barrett, the stage will surely reverberate with Drinking Flowers' hypnotic sound, and perhaps inspire some deeper moods within you. Playing tonight with fellow psych- alt rockers Santoros, Levitation Room and Mr Elevator and The Brain Hotel.
