More than most acts on the road these days, Allah-Lahs plays like four friends that just make music they like together.

Nearly two decades after its formation, the Los Angeles garage band is now one of the most revered indie-rock acts in the world with fans attracted to how guitarist and vocalist Miles Michaud & co. have defied genrefication in making songs that blend the band’s interests (electro, prog, and even krautrock) into moody, often-reverb-drenched west coast psychedelia.

Darren Rademaker’s The Tyde project opens Allah-Las St. Petersburg debut with direct support from Ray Monde’s lo-fi rock project Monde UFO.

Tickets to see Allah-Lahs play Bayboro Brewing in St. Petersburg on Friday, Oct. 10 are still available for $32.
