On the psych-o-meter, going on tour with Austin-based psych rockers The Black Angels is at least a 7. It’s definitely more than splitting a footlong sub with a member of Comets on Fire, but it’s a lot less than eating mushrooms out of Roky Erickson’s beard. Still, it’s a pretty good reading for San Francisco’s Sleepy Sun, who will join The Black Angels — their brothers in psych — on a May-time jaunt through (primarily) the West Coast. Do people that are into psychedelics go on jaunts? I wouldn’t know, sadly. My psych-o-meter reading is a 2 at best.
