It’s hard to make a worthwhile follow-up album to the one that put you on the map. But Skegss still managed to create something bold and experimental enough to keep the band on Coachella’s radar.

Jonny Lani and Ben Reed’s latest album Pacific Highway Music (their first as a duo) sees the two experimenting with synthesizers—a big step away from their normal surf-esque sound—while mentally reminiscing about the hypnosis the Australian psychedelic-garage duo felt while driving down the actual highway that shares a name with the record.

Beach-pop duo Twen opens.

Tickets to see Skeggs play The Ritz in Ybor City on Wednesday, March 26 are still available and start at $19.50.
