Leaned over and remarked to the obvious Ozric Tentacles fan at the Fox show Friday night that it was pretty weird that the band - born and bred from the British Stonehenge/tie-dye hippy underculture a quarter century ago - was now a local band, having moved to the Fort Collins area last year. Friday was my third Ozrics show in about a year - they used to be the Band From Mars, sweeping in on bubbly synth flourishes once every three years or so.
But it does appear that they have scraped together a decent local following.
And sounding better as well - Ed's son Silas is filling in on synth for about half the set, and doing an outstanding job. I'd still like to hear Brandi loosen up a little on bass, but the band sounded much more together (despite a lengthy tech failure on Ed's rig) than last show, in the Fall.
Mooncalf, from the new album, was resplendent.
