Perpetual Groove will end its summer in Ohio for Lotus’ Summerdance Music Festival, but kick it off in Tampa this weekend.

The Southern psych-jam quartet recently looked back on two decades of music with a reissue of Sweet Oblivious Antidote, and kept moving forward in March by releasing two new singles, “Black Sheep” and “Sea of Freaks.”

While the latter finds Perpetual Groove breaking out of its mold and almost dipping into kraut-rock, the former is for longtime fans of the bands who’re growing gray in the beard.

Tickets to Perpetual Groove and Tire Fire’s show at New World Brewery ( 810 E Skagway Ave.) on Friday, May 24 are still available for $20 online and $25 at the door. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
