Transdimensional Fiesta

By: Laurie Gallardo

Surely you have your own definition of a mystical experience. Aside from (one obvious choice) the power and brilliance of music, consider including the exhilaration of cake frosting in one’s hair. Something like that.

Perhaps it was more sticky than exhilarating, but chalk it up to a productive day for SMiiLE songwriter and front man Jake Miles, following a video shoot for one of SMiiLE’s new tracks, “Mystical Experience,” featured on today’s Austin Music Minute. That, along with “Someone Who Can Do Both,” make their official debut with SMiiLE’s double-single release party tonight at Cheer Up Charlie’s, 901 Red River. And this is one hell of a bill, darling, featuring PR Newman, Van Mary, and Christelle Miller.

Doors open at 9 p.m. You need to check out all of these artists. Plus, double points to all involved who included the description  “corybantic celebration” in the Facebook invite for this evening’s soirée. Totally recommended.
