The rain didn’t stop it. And gusty winds won’t, either. Welcome to day two and three of Austin Psych Fest, the OG that launched the Levitation vibes round the world. Two stages, no overlap, and all incredible. Just don’t wear a hat today, unless it’s strapped to your head… Doors at 2 p.m. both days. […]
Levitation followers on Instagram got the briefest onsite glimpse on a post last night. “Getting the spaceship ready for liftoff here at The Far Out Lounge and Stage. See y’all tomorrow, can’t wait!” Even that snapshot of the light projection was enough to generate excitement – but those insane pics of everybody losing their s%$t […]
this weekend's Austin Psych Fest is nearly upon us and while it is tempting to weigh in on such important subjects like “do you have to remove your floppy hat before going thru the metal detectors?” and “how do the Night Beats still exist”, I'll instead publicly state (not for the first time) that I am unprepared to tell the story about the time I was physically ejected from a Black Rebel Motorcycle club show in Las Vegas for heckling the band. Simply put, I am saving this sage for my own book, a tome which will solely concern the events and circumstances surrounding my physical ejection from a Black Rebel Motorcycle club show in Las Vegas for heckling the band. I realize some of you probably think this is a rather flimsy premise for a book that might be as long as 600 pages, but if Mike Pompeo can get away with (however long his stupid book is) blathering on about his weight loss secrets and his boner for Israel, I'm pretty sure I've got him (and everyone else) beat.
we're on the precipice of the most dangerous weekend on the 2023 city of Austin calendar, an event so rife with potential for mayhem, it's worse than the Republic of Texas Motorcycle Rally, Clyde Littlefield Relays and the Austin Psych Fest combined. I am of course referring to Zilker Park's annual orgy of ultra violence the AUSTIN KITE FEST, which aside from being BORING A.F. (I am told this stands for “as fuck”, but it could also mean “and feeble”) represents a unique challenge for our beleaguered police department who are somehow expected to maintain the peace on nearly HALF BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. On this week's show, we'll be raising funds to affix a giant cannon (sound or munitions — whichever costs more) to a SWAT tank much like the one above (albeit a more modern edition with leather seats). Since this program's listeners mostly consist of wildly affluent people and not-nearly-as wealthy people who have an irrational hatred of kites, i fully expect we can close the gap between nearly half a billion dollars and a half billion dollars.
On this episode of Awareness with Amandolin I drop the needle with Harry Portnof founder of Greenway Records an independent record label based out of Brooklyn, NY. Specializing in DIY vinyl record releases. He is also label head for Levitation and The Reverberation Appreciation Society.

Release the bats, fiends. This Halloween weekend is a music-filled one – times ten – with Levitation. The Austin-based music fest, originally launched by The Black Angels as Austin Psych Fest in 2008, has its roots based in all things psych, but Levitation plays host to artists across many genres. As you may know, your […]
LEVITATION is back. And what a triumphant return, on Halloween weekend. Is that perfect, or what? The music festival founded by The Black Angels got its start in an old barn, of all places, under the moniker Austin Psych Fest in 2008. Even the band didn’t realize how much it would blow up; it was […]
Welcome to Roadcase, a podcast exploring the live music experience!! Join us for this enlightening talk with Alex Maas and Rob Fitzgerald as we discuss Alex's latest solo album, Luca, as well as his work with The Black Angels and how he and Rob have worked together to co-found and manage the Austin-based Levitation Festival along with their Reverberation Appreciation Society record label. Both these guys are juggling many balls but their output is profound and steady, and the Levitation Festival is a celebration of the exciting Psych-Rock movement that has been spearheaded by The Black Angels. These two guys have known each other since their high schools days and have an easy going rapport, which makes this a really fun listen. It's also really exciting to learn more about Levitation's origins, how Alex successfully straddles left-brain and right-brain worlds simultaneously, and how Rob's artistic background has pushed Levitation's aesthetic to greater heights. Hop on aboard -- thanks for joining us for this one, it's a really great ride!!
