Tonight! Lagues, the Band in Heaven at Propaganda

At the tail end of their Fishscales tour (this is not a pun), Lagues are playing alongside the equally fuzzed-out the Band in Heaven, though the latter's namesake is a hint to its distortion being of a softer, prettier variety. Lagues, a husband-and-wife duo from Orlando, plays gritty (awesome) psychedelica...

At the tail end of their Fishscales tour (this is not a pun), Lagues are playing alongside the equally fuzzed-out the Band in Heaven, though the latter's namesake is a hint to its distortion being of a softer, prettier variety.

Lagues, a husband-and-wife duo from Orlando, plays gritty (awesome) psychedelica that pays heavy homage to surf and garage from decades past. Upon first listen, "Holy Spirit" could be a reworked, creepy, and cavernous version of Link Wray's rockabilly building block "Rumble." Lagues is defiantly and effortlessly filthy and will provide a grungy contrast to the starry-eyed openers, the Band in Heaven, whose blissful shoegaze is so heady you will be reeling in a cloud of your own stoned haze by the set's end.

Lagues. With the Band in Heaven. 8 p.m., Tuesday, June 15 at Propaganda, 6 S. J St., Lake Worth. Call 561-547-7273, or visit here.
