Spirit Caravan/Elder/Fistula

After a short run of seminal stoner rock albums in the late ‘90s and early ‘00s, Spirit Caravan faded into the ether. They reunited in 2014 (with a new drummer) for a handful of festival gigs and an earnest touring schedule. The band’s 1999 EP, Dreamwheel, mainlines all the best aspects of their music niche: desert highway guitar melodies, pulsing percussion, full-bodied vocal work, etc. After being away from the stash for so long, we can only imagine the band will be firing on all cylinders at shows like tonight’s in Cleveland, feeding fiery classics like “Sun Stoned” and “Burnin’ In” even more energy. Pack the bowl and turn the lights down low. (Sandy)
