Infrared Radiation Orchestra

September 14th at 11:00pm

Infrared Radiation Orchestra is a four-piece syfy-psychedelic theater of the absurd, featuring The Moog Theremistress theremin player. This group is high energy and fast paced, with righteous vibes and maximum psychedelia. It sounds like everything great in rock 'n roll from 1967-1972. The guitar wails and cries while the Theremistress dances around it. The lyricism of these original sounds hits your soul and breaks your heart. Protective eyewear is highly recommended.
