Visionary psyche music pioneer Nik Turner, from the British bands Hawkwind and Space Gypsy, played for a tightly packed house Wednesday at the Shanty.

His psychedelic krautrock backup band Hedersleben added layers of sonic madness. The crowd responded.





Opening the show: the wild new noise band CV,

and local neo-psyche masters White Manna, just returned from an extensive European tour.
