]]> Hooveriii “Water for the Frogs” 2021. Reverberation Appreciation Society, clear blue vinyl. Spacey psychedelic modern prog-rock. The vinyl looks weird in this photo because the shrink wrap is still on the jacket in order to save the sticker (there’s no other identifier on the jacket except the spine otherwise). I’m pretty sure Joe caught these guys – and bought this album – a couple of times about a month ago, once at Cactus Club and then again the following night at Promises. I didn’t go because I was tired that week, having just seen Jack White perform and also I was saving my energy to see Duran Duran on the weekend (worth it!). According to the handy setlist.fm website, Hooveriii (pronounced Hoover Three) played several of the tracks on Water for the Frogs (their second album) at the Cactus show: the opener “Cindy,” my top track “Control” (psychedelic garage rock and totally ass-shaking), “Hang Em’ High” and as their final encore, a super-trippy and mellow cover of Lou Reed’s “Shooting Star” (video of that encore at Cactus below). Other notable tracks are the bendy guitar meets 1970’s spaceage-style bleep-bloop keyboards instrumental “We’re Both Lawyers” that descends into cosmic chaos and the hypnotic rocker “Erasure.” Hopefully the next time Hooveriii comes through town it will be during a week when I don’t already have multiple shows on the calendar.
