LAGITAGIDA Celebrates Summer With A Free Download of “Blastica”
You remember our friends Lagitagida, don’t you? Earlier in 2012, this four-piece instrumental rock band with a sound like Frank Zappa force-feeding King Crimson bottles of tepid sake, invaded the U.S. for a tour centered around a few SXSW performances and day drinking. Those lucky enough to see them live (and I count myself among that number) remembered what it is to rock the fuck out. Heads banged and devil horns hung in the air summoned forth by psychedelic guitar solos, crushing drums, bass lines fat enough for Sir Mix-A-Lot and enough piano theatrics to keep things interesting.
Turns out Lagitagida are a bunch of thoughtful dudes in addition to aspiring rock stars. To help their fans brave the summer heat, they’ve made “Blastica,” a reworked version of their song “Drastica,” available as a free download. Consider it a midsummer gift. And like any gift worth giving, this one comes with a message.
