Core. Presents: LSD & THE SEARCH FOR GOD

19:00 Doors - 22:00 Curfew

LSD and the Search for God hit the Northern California coast in 2005, seemingly from another place and time, dosing San Francisco with hypnotic shows built on swirling guitars, otherworldly drones, fuzzed-out pop melodies, and dreamy vocal harmonies.

Early shows and recordings drew comparisons to My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Yo La Tengo, Spacemen 3, and Sonic Youth, helping the band quickly earn a reputation as a must-see act within the Northern California underground shoegaze and psych scene.

Their self-titled debut EP (Mind Expansion Records, 2007; Don Giovanni, 2025) sold out before its official release date, earned critical acclaim, and continues to appear on lists of essential shoegaze releases.

All five songs cemented the band as key players in the late-2000s shoegaze revival. But the fourth track, “Starting Over,” emerged as a defining moment. It captures the genre’s essence with submerged vocal harmonies and a finely balanced guitar interplay that drifts between hushed intimacy and sweeping wall-of-sound swells. Striking a rare space between vulnerability and grandeur, “Starting Over” has grown beyond a fan favorite into a modern shoegaze anthem — one that feels inseparable from the movement it helped shape.
