After fading into nowhere in particular, the celestial blues of Mazzy Star will be heard once again. As promised, the California band is releasing a new album this year and traveling the length of their native state, playing at some predictably unusual venues.
The very abbreviated four city tour will see the original lineup of Hope Sandoval, David Roback, Suki Ewers, and Keith Mitchell paying visits to Petaluma, Sacramento, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz before playing two shows at Lilith Fair Coachella.
There’s a touch of Twin Peaks to their Santa Cruz stopover. Psychedelia promoters folkYEAH! are hosting the group at the Cocoanut Grove Historic Ballroom, built in 1892 and still located across from the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in 2012. What better place to hear Sandoval’s narcotized lullabies than within eyeshot of an antiquated theme park—and at twilight, to boot. David Lynch would be proud, if he knew what the internet was.
