While the rest of San Francisco gears up for Noise Pop next week, this weekend it seems that the Bay Area's psychedelic roots have decided to pop up in force for various performances around the city.

Tomorrow night the 17th the fantastic noisy garage-psyche band White Cloud will be sharing the stage with the more folk-y Ash Reiter and TV Mike and the Scarecrows at the Rickshaw stop. That show incidentally is Ash Reiter's CD release party as well.

Friday night the 19th at Bottom of the Hill Here Come the Saviors will be performing their shoe-gaze inspired psychedelia with Boy in the Bubble at 9pm. For a more traditionalist approach to psychedelic rock Friday night, head across town for The Love Dimension performing with The Parties, The Polymers, and Augustus at Kimo's.

If you're in the East Bay with a hankering for traditional 60s inspired psyche, Teenage Sweater, The Buttercream Gang, The Helen Kelers, and Samvega will be playing across the water at The Stork Club around 8pm also on Friday.

That's all for this week. Be sure to keep updating the calender and check back for next week's recommendations.
