A close-up group portrait of the four members of the Brazilian band Boogarins against a plain off-white wall. The band members are huddled closely together, looking directly at the camera with serious but calm expressions. From left to right: a man with a short afro and beard; a man with shorter hair and a mustache in the back; a man with long, wavy brown hair in the center foreground; and a man with a large, voluminous afro on the right. They are all wearing dark clothing, and the lighting is warm and soft, casting gentle shadows against the corner of the wall. — Boogarins Credit: Gabriel Rolim

Boogarins recently celebrated a milestone anniversary for its 2013 debut, As Plantas Que Curam. Throughout its career, the Brazilian psych-rock band has been known for how it taps into its influences (early Pink Floyd, more of the mind-bending Beatles stuff) and marries them with the energy of a sweaty basement jam session plus textures of the tropicália that’s long-colored South American music.

Three albums after Plantas—and nearly 10 years since a show at the since-shuttered Ybor City location of New World Brewery—Boogarins arrives supporting 2024’s Bacuri, an LP that is a nod back to that breakthrough record, and one that was named one of the 50 best albums of 2024 by the São Paulo Art Critics Association.

The Bay area gets a visit from Orlando rock king Timothy Eerie to mark the occasion.

Tickets to see Boogarins play Bayboro Brewing in St. Petersburg on Friday, April 24 are still available for $20–$25.
