Overview

You can't help but conjure up images of the romanticised '60s Woodstock era while listening to Richard In Your Mind. Putting forward a Beatles-ish pop sound swathed with psychedelic and krautrock rythyms, the Sydney five-piece released their fourth album, Ponderosa in August last year via Rice Is Nice, the local record label boasting a host of Sydney talent such as Donny Benet and SPOD. Now they're celebrating the release of the album on vinyl, with the 'Give Me a High Five' east coast tour.

RIYM's tunes are a fun and light-hearted affair, exploring overarching themes of things like nature, exploration and escapism — no doubt influenced by the band's hours spent in the Blue Mountains, where they recorded the tracks. It might not be the 1960s anymore, but these guys are definitely making sure the crazy psychedelia still lives on.

Supported by Baskervillain + Shady Bliss.
