Eight Gigs: Ganglians

Sat., Feb. 18, 8 p.m., Starlite Lounge, $7

In 2009, San Francisco’s psych-rock scene was garnering national attention, and those good vibrations reverberated inland to possess four musicians in Midtown. Ganglians’ humble beginnings quickly blossomed into European tours and records on en vogue labels like Woodsist and Lefse. By its third album Still Living, it morphed from yipping, Beach Boy mutants into power-pop vets capable of heartbreaking songs. Then it broke up in 2012. Five years later, Ganglians return as a six-piece. With two additional members, this won’t be your typical reunion show. 1517 21st Street, www.facebook.com/ganglians.
