Stand aside Sufjan, this is not a gimmick! The 50 States of Psychedelia* begins here, with Illinois!

The shows won’t be consecutive–because it’s way more fun to hear psychedelia from around the world than just from the U.S.–but over the next couple years turn on and tune in for The 50 States of Psychedelia! (*this is not an attempt at reifying national sovereignty, but is a way of creating a set, a theme, a unit, and a nod.)
