#macrock 2014

Man, this winter. What was that all about? Harrisonburg, along with most of the east coast and even the deep south, got absolutely dumped on with snow. It showed up 5-8 inches at a time, and never really seemed to leave. It seems like I've been breaking my ankles on piles of dirty sidewalk snow for months now, and while the days off have been pleasant, I think we can all agree it's time to put this cold oppression to an end. 

And it seems like Boogarins are here to help. These sunny lads hail from Goiânia, Brazil and make windows-down tropical psychedelia that will make you feel ready to bust out those cut off jeans again. Their new album, As Plantas Que Curam, is out now on Fat Possum Records, and you should definitely check that out before this year's Macrock. Tracks like "Doce" sound like that feeling you get after a healthy bit of day drinking followed by a nap in the sun- warm, dreamy, a little dizzy. 

See Boogarins play at Macrock XVII and stay tuned to learn more about the other great bands playing this year.
