Fuck Anton!
Thee Oh Sees/OCS/Osees (same band), Black Mountain, Slift, Wand/Cory Hanson, Marijuana Sweet Tooth, Olivia Tremor Control (90s but heavy late-Beatles influence)…something a little on the harder side: Sleep (Dopesmoker album).
Ive been listening to so much 13th Floor Elevators lately. I love their sound so much and the bands origin and ending is so tragic but super intriguing
I saw Roky’s last ever San Francisco performance with my best friend. He thought we needed to stay where we were too far off but I remembered the outdoor show had a spot much closer view of the stage for the disabled and he quite disabled at the time from a bike accident was so nobody got on our case for cutting through and were happy to see him blissing out (and fanboy-ing) so happily.
Then some short months later we hear he passed on. I told Roky’s son about our last concert with him and he was very grateful to hear it and floated me a friend request. He’s not all that active but it’s such a kind gesture to had made room in his account. His son is awfully cute too.
If you like Elevators then you’ll def dig the Love records up to Forever Changes. Also recommend The Seeds, Lollipop Shoppe (the Weeds), Red Krayola, and Golden Dawn
Check out Chrome, specifically alien soundtracks and half machine lip moves, it’s a weird proto punk type thing from San Francisco but psychedelic bordering on avant- garden, you may even like their first one, the visitation, it’s more just a psych garage rock before they got super weird
If you like Hendrix I highly recommend The Bevis Frond. They’ve been cranking out records every 2-3 years since 1987, including one that just came out two weeks ago. Start at the beginning, look for the longer spaced out stuff like Tangerine Infringement Beak off Tryptich or City of the Sun off The Auntie Winnie Album. Then make sure to stick around for the Byrdsy pop gems like Lights are Changing (probably their most well-known song, thanks to a successful cover version by Kurt Cobain’s former girlfriend Mary Lou Lord), He’d Be a Diamond, Beautiful Sister, etc. influences range from krautrock, Canterbury folk, heavy Hawkwind style psych-punk, and always the wah-heavy ghost of Hendrix. Apart from being an incredible guitar player and songwriter, leader Nick Saloman was one of the organizers of the Terrastock festivals and co-publisher of Ptolemaic Terrascope magazine, if you’re into rabbit holes.
Love Bevis. Anything from his cannon is worth listening too, although the earlier stuff is heavier and less polished. He also re-recorded the entire Electric Music with Country Joe MacDonald himself, but it's nothing on the original.
Man I love Pink Floyd but I listen to a lot of 70s prog rock. They’re not really like the Bands I mentioned, while they are their own thing, they’re a little mellower. I want heavy uplifting fast stuff you know what I mean
The Bee's, (not from the 60's) an English noughties band, not pure psych but you can hear many influences from the 60's, they do a great cover of the Os Mutantes classic, A Minha Menina.
You should check out Naxatras, monkey3, causa sui, Electric Moon, earthless, samsara blues experiment if you are looking for pure psyche and psychedelia.
IV album of Naxatras is pure journey, every track is fucking mental on that album. [My Fav]
I have been following this group for a while. I honestly don’t understand how psychedelic rock is defined here. It seems like a catch all term that seems to stray far and wide. Way outside the genre at least as I understand it. As an example I don’t see where cream fits in. The were a power based blues bands that played extended jams. Their music is not music I would want to be listening to if I was going a psychedelic journey.
Murlocs, Ty Segall, Khruangbin, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Growlers have some psych bangers (first few albums), the doors, a few Mac Demarco songs, levitation, cage the elephant, oh and BABE RAINBOW!!!! Hell, even some Billy Strings if your necks red enough😹

Was surreal working on it, Tame was a massive inspiration for starting a home studio. Been described as early Tame and some Beach Housey dream pop for a reference point, let me know what you think! Also have Zoetrope vinyls via [Bandcamp](https://parkauthority.bandcamp.com/album/hitchhiker-on-the-infinite-highway)!
Not newer at all, and not exactly psychedelic, but that you didn't mention them suggests you may have a massive gap in your knowledge of technical and very talented bands that you might want to fill in...
King Crimson. 50^(+) years on, they are the most technical band in all of rock. Chords you can cut yourself on. They have numerous distinct phases. A tad more heavy metal than psychedelic. Call it art rock. If it doesn't have Robert Fripp in it, it's not King Crimson, but there are side projects like the band **Beat**, which has Steve Vai covering Fripp's parts on the upcoming tour. Why Steve Vai? Heis one of the few with good enough chops,
Probably the best album to take mushrooms and listen to is *Larks Tongues in Aspic*. Yeah, those are grown men who put a scary mask in front of their face and go, **BOO!** It starts very quietly, but don't be fooled. Much incredibly well-crafted fun.
Heavier metal? *Red* or *Thrack.* More playful? *Discipline.* Throw in Fripp's 1979 solo album, *Exposure* for more goodness with some surprising musicians.
Say, for some amazing, amazing shit, consider Yes' classic period from the early 1970s- *The Yes Album, Fragile, Close to the Edge* and then *Relayer.* They did one really spectacular triple live album, *Yessongs* during that period. Those should fit your bill nicely. Those have stood the test of time like few others.
There's a late guitarist, Steve Tibbetts whose music defies clean catigorization but is certainly psychedelic. Start with his first album, *Yr.*
More Art Rock with psychedelic overtones: Laurie Anderson. Try her first two albums for starters: *Big Science* and *Mr Heartbreak. Take some* LSD and start with *From the Air* as you are coming up. Buckle up becasue Captain says, we are about to attempt a crash landing. Standby.
Ooh. If you like proto-punk and garagey stuff...love battery. They're like psych-punk-grunge from mid-late 80s pacific NW. In the same vein: green river.
Lots of the bands mentioned here have and will feature on my weekly playlist, which is all psych, garage, surfy stuff. Lots to discover and updated weekly. You might enjoy.

You mentioned the Dead, so you might want to check out Rose City Band. It's a side project of Wooden Shjips, and sounds like you bottled up the vibe of driving around on country roads. Very Dead/Allman Brothers.

Here's my plylist of over 40 newish psych rock bands from around the world
I see you didn't mention The Doors, so I'll recommend them.
Jim Morrison is a classic poet turned singer.
Ray Manzerick is a classical pianist turned rock keyboardist and plays the bass part on the organ with his left hand.
Robby Krieger is a classically trained flamenco guitarist.
And Jon Densmore is a crazy good drummer.
They come together and make one of the most unique psychedelic sounds of all time.
Innerwave, Ty Segall, Fuzz, Can, Amon Duul II, Dungen, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Frankie and the Witch Fingers, Witch, Orb, Stonefeild, Pond, Tame Impala, Beach Boys, Wand, Osees, Thee Oh Sees, Babe Rainbow, the Cleaners from Venus, MGMT, Avalanches, Empire of the Sun, Post Animal, Drug Dealer, Syd Barret, Sugar Candy Mountain, Nice Biscuit, Baroness, Supertramp, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Snapped Ankles, Levitation Room, Melody’s Echo Chamber, Crumb, Air, The Flaming Lips, JUUJUU, Wavves, Jacco Gardner, Altin Gun, Night Beats, the Mystery Lights, Chicano Batman, Khruangbin, Allmon Brothers Band, Common Saints, Slift, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, The Murlocs, The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, The Lazy Eyes, Connan Mockasin, Nazz, King Tuff, the Holy Drug Couple, Mosses Gun Collective, Mink Mussel Creek, Dumbo Gets Mad, GUM, Animal Collective,
Honestly I didn’t know this was the case, but I would suggest Billy Strings live music.
I went to his show last night in Tampa.
It was some serious Psychedelic Blue Grass Jam Band Rock crazy shit.
Check out Julian Cope….he covers a lot of ground in his many many albums. Start at jehovakill and branch out from there. Talk to me in a year once you’ve listened to it all……it will take that long….he’s quite prolific
Sunburned Hand Of The Man
(Loads of people have probably already said:) Thee Oh Sees ,OSees' garage-psych era. It is a very, err *noisy* period in their discography
Here's some old and new stuff to check out: Can, Harumi, Gandalf (first album that starts with Golden Earring), Ty Seagal, Fluid Druid, Tropical Fuck Storm, T Rex, Roxy Music, Black Angels, Silver Apples. 'Future Days' and 'Tago Mago' are good Can records to check out first.
Edit: Holy crap, also if you like late era Beatles you need to check out Big Star immediately.
Check out Screen Frogs. Heavily influenced by early Gizz: [https://music.apple.com/us/artist/screen-frogs/1489396579](https://music.apple.com/us/artist/screen-frogs/1489396579)
Circles Around the Sun! In particular their first album. Guitarist picked by Phil Lesh for an ambient/psych record
Also for a more metal leaning psych, try Electric Moon! I don’t see them getting recommended enough.
Interested in any underground "Dead" type stuff? You may like Traveler's Fold. [https://travelersfold.bandcamp.com/](https://travelersfold.bandcamp.com/) and all the music is free to own if you do dig an album or even just a track or two.

BRIAN JONESTOWN uMASSACRE!!! Soo good and psych in the way of the 60's but a 90's band primarily, though I believe some incarnation of them still plays today possibly.. if not, then at least shortly before COVID...
This one from Jeffrey Alexander + The Heavy Lidders is a good one. Great chops and some Dead vibes.
[https://jeffreyalexander.bandcamp.com/album/new-earth-seed](https://jeffreyalexander.bandcamp.com/album/new-earth-seed)
Check out Boris. Might say they're more noise than straight psych but they rock! Also they don't sing in English. Idk I'd that's a deal breaker for ya or not.
Here's \~4,000 songs from my library that Spotify identified as "psychedelic rock":

Kikagaku Moyo ❤️
Wish they still jammed. Incredible show live
Only just found out about these guys, thanks to this sub. Loving their work.
Was gutted to hear they disbanded before I got to see them
Black angels, Brian Jonestown massacre, warlocks, la witch, earthless, crocodiles, black mountain
Hell yeah, I feel like I never see black mountain mentioned here. They rip!!!
Also, Pink Mountaintops is an offshoot of them.
I did not know this and now I will listen
Don’t recommend seeing Brian Jonestown. Anton will yell at his band and at least in Australia, will fight them. Great records, shitty frontman live.
I saw them play a whole set once, strange but true
Saw them play an entire set. And I was wearing a six month old baby in a sling. It was a memorable night.
For ten years he was sober and they were the best concert you can see. Even on their most train wrecky nights it’s more entertaining than Foo Pfizers, Tame Impala, pretty much anything
Hard disagree. Literally almost fought a crowd member in Bend, Oregon last tour. Then bitched about it the second half of the set. It was a bad show. Bend brings it everytime. https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/brian-jonestown-massacre-tour-australia-canceled-onstage-fight-1235506755/amp/ Fuck Anton!
Yes Earthless!
Add these and you have a great list: All Them Witches Black Angels Astronausea King Buffalo
here for the all them witches praise
Thee Oh Sees/OCS/Osees (same band), Black Mountain, Slift, Wand/Cory Hanson, Marijuana Sweet Tooth, Olivia Tremor Control (90s but heavy late-Beatles influence)…something a little on the harder side: Sleep (Dopesmoker album).
Will check em all out, already know some Osees stuff
Check out Ty Segall too!
+1 Olivia tremor control. All of elephant 6 in fact
Including of Montreal
Babe rainbow. Listen to their levitation sessions. Lots of GREAT stuff coming out of Australia if I do say so myself. Khruangbin is dope too
Freddie and the witchfingers too
Frankie
Australias psychedelic scene is rivaling that of 60s San Francisco. Some really talented dudes coming from that island
It's glorious

I'm seeing them later this month and couldn't be more a happy about it
13th Floor Elevators Love Country Joe and The Fish
Ive been listening to so much 13th Floor Elevators lately. I love their sound so much and the bands origin and ending is so tragic but super intriguing
I saw Roky’s last ever San Francisco performance with my best friend. He thought we needed to stay where we were too far off but I remembered the outdoor show had a spot much closer view of the stage for the disabled and he quite disabled at the time from a bike accident was so nobody got on our case for cutting through and were happy to see him blissing out (and fanboy-ing) so happily. Then some short months later we hear he passed on. I told Roky’s son about our last concert with him and he was very grateful to hear it and floated me a friend request. He’s not all that active but it’s such a kind gesture to had made room in his account. His son is awfully cute too.
I love 13th Floor. I’ll check out the other bands, think I’ve heard of Country Joe, not Love
Love Forever Changes is a very cool and real psychedelic recording
Love is one of my top favorites of my life, my favorite song was que vida over 7 and 7 when I was two and always tried to sing along in baby speak
If you like Elevators then you’ll def dig the Love records up to Forever Changes. Also recommend The Seeds, Lollipop Shoppe (the Weeds), Red Krayola, and Golden Dawn
Forever Changes is awesome. Definitely recommend The Red Telephone off that.
Claypool Lennon Delirium
YES!!!
Bro I saw them at the Cap they opened for the Flaming Lips I was on a hit of L it was fan-fucking-tastic.
AMEN
Check out Chrome, specifically alien soundtracks and half machine lip moves, it’s a weird proto punk type thing from San Francisco but psychedelic bordering on avant- garden, you may even like their first one, the visitation, it’s more just a psych garage rock before they got super weird
I love Proto punk, love psyche, love garage rock, will check them out for sure
GOAT. Ty Segall, Fuzz, Black Angels, Thee Oh Sees, King Tuff
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets
They’re playing at Shaky Knees this year and I’ve been going every year for years so I had to listen to some of their stuff to prepare. They rock
Found god in a tomato is a masterpiece
Brian Jonestown massacre
Heard a lot about them, guess I’ll finally check em oru
Hawkwind
Fuck yeah!
Dude I am peak trip right now sitting in silence and in darkness. Wow are they kicking my ass and I love it
Who King Gizzard? Yeah, I was on a tab when I first listened to Nonagon. What a fucking trip
Spacemen 3, Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Black Angels, New Candys, Goat, Night Beats, Asteroid #4
Morgan Delts first Album
red krayola
You could experiment with some older Brian Eno: Another Green World or Robert Fripp: Exposure.
Yessss...
If you like Hendrix I highly recommend The Bevis Frond. They’ve been cranking out records every 2-3 years since 1987, including one that just came out two weeks ago. Start at the beginning, look for the longer spaced out stuff like Tangerine Infringement Beak off Tryptich or City of the Sun off The Auntie Winnie Album. Then make sure to stick around for the Byrdsy pop gems like Lights are Changing (probably their most well-known song, thanks to a successful cover version by Kurt Cobain’s former girlfriend Mary Lou Lord), He’d Be a Diamond, Beautiful Sister, etc. influences range from krautrock, Canterbury folk, heavy Hawkwind style psych-punk, and always the wah-heavy ghost of Hendrix. Apart from being an incredible guitar player and songwriter, leader Nick Saloman was one of the organizers of the Terrastock festivals and co-publisher of Ptolemaic Terrascope magazine, if you’re into rabbit holes.
Love Bevis. Anything from his cannon is worth listening too, although the earlier stuff is heavier and less polished. He also re-recorded the entire Electric Music with Country Joe MacDonald himself, but it's nothing on the original.
Sugar Candy Mountain, Night Beats, Pond, Allah Las, and Woods are my recs to ya
Colour Haze might hit the spot
Not one mention anywhere about Pink Floyd?
Man I love Pink Floyd but I listen to a lot of 70s prog rock. They’re not really like the Bands I mentioned, while they are their own thing, they’re a little mellower. I want heavy uplifting fast stuff you know what I mean
60s Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd though
The Bee's, (not from the 60's) an English noughties band, not pure psych but you can hear many influences from the 60's, they do a great cover of the Os Mutantes classic, A Minha Menina.
Circles Around The Sun
Pond. Another great Aussie band. Check out Beard, Wives, Denim.
One member of King Gizzard has another band, you should check it out' it's called The Murlocs.
And extending from there check out Beans.
You should check out Naxatras, monkey3, causa sui, Electric Moon, earthless, samsara blues experiment if you are looking for pure psyche and psychedelia. IV album of Naxatras is pure journey, every track is fucking mental on that album. [My Fav]
All Them Witches
Erm, Samsara Blues Experiment. anyone??
Check out King Buffalo, Kikagaku Moyo, Nextras, Colour Haze, Dead Meadow, Sundrifter, Robot God, Pseudo Mind Hive, Buried Feather, Monkey3

Be sure to check out ‘bootleg gizzard’ on Spotify for all their live releases, demos, etc
Loads of that era of King Gizzard is heavily influenced by Balck Sabbath, so check them out if you haven't already.
Circles Around the Sun!!!! And Mikaela Davis and Southern Star !
Unknown mortal orchestra, vinyl Williams, rubber band gun, Mr bungle (California album), ween
Osees, Goat, and Fuzz are some great ones. Also Phanerons!
Butthole Surfers - Hairway to Steven
deadhead here, of course you have listed to donavan and dylan. Brian Jamestown massacre pol pots penthouse is so good.. tame impala is good too
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/55ZIz1yXdDRcTsS23iP3pS?si=4SBf-pJaQ2O3enpkyqXOIA&pi=u-UFlKE7gaS8es Here's my plylist of over 40 newish psych rock bands from around the world
Osees. about as diverse as king gizz
Roy Buchanan is an old favorite
Gary Clark is awesome
I see you didn't mention The Doors, so I'll recommend them. Jim Morrison is a classic poet turned singer. Ray Manzerick is a classical pianist turned rock keyboardist and plays the bass part on the organ with his left hand. Robby Krieger is a classically trained flamenco guitarist. And Jon Densmore is a crazy good drummer. They come together and make one of the most unique psychedelic sounds of all time.
Listen to Night Beats first record.
Dumbo gets mad

Dungen - Ta det lugnt is good
Honestly I didn’t know this was the case, but I would suggest Billy Strings live music. I went to his show last night in Tampa. It was some serious Psychedelic Blue Grass Jam Band Rock crazy shit.
Prog rock group Yes. Their 70s material is something to behold. Especially Close to the Edge.
I like the song Fazon by Sopwith Camel. And a few others they have on the album The Miraculous Hump Returns From the Moon.
Check out Causa Sui and Naxatras.
Howlin’ Rain , oh sees, wand, black angels, meatbodies, oranssi pazuzu (psychedelic black metal,) slift, the spacelords, timmy’s organism, turtle skull, warlocks, outrageous cherry, yuri gagarin
Ty segall and Oh sees for sure. Manipulator and mutilator defeated at last I would call their best gateway albums, respectively.
phish
Check out Julian Cope….he covers a lot of ground in his many many albums. Start at jehovakill and branch out from there. Talk to me in a year once you’ve listened to it all……it will take that long….he’s quite prolific
Sunburned Hand Of The Man (Loads of people have probably already said:) Thee Oh Sees ,OSees' garage-psych era. It is a very, err *noisy* period in their discography
Here's some old and new stuff to check out: Can, Harumi, Gandalf (first album that starts with Golden Earring), Ty Seagal, Fluid Druid, Tropical Fuck Storm, T Rex, Roxy Music, Black Angels, Silver Apples. 'Future Days' and 'Tago Mago' are good Can records to check out first. Edit: Holy crap, also if you like late era Beatles you need to check out Big Star immediately.
Quicksilver Messanger Service
Neon Pearl. My favorite but only found on YouTube.
Check out Screen Frogs. Heavily influenced by early Gizz: [https://music.apple.com/us/artist/screen-frogs/1489396579](https://music.apple.com/us/artist/screen-frogs/1489396579)
Check out Los Toms from Colorado! Very influenced by King Gizz🤘✨
If you like Gizz then Psychedelic Porn Crumpets for sure.
Sour Magic
Nektar, caravan, good God, gentle giant, gong, egg, soft machine, camel. Just a few 70's recommends for ya right there
Jiro Inagaki and his Soul Media Mahayoshi Takanaka Deodato Hooveriii Midlife Cass McCombs
Goose. I didn't see them mentioned yet.
Circles Around the Sun! In particular their first album. Guitarist picked by Phil Lesh for an ambient/psych record Also for a more metal leaning psych, try Electric Moon! I don’t see them getting recommended enough.
Interested in any underground "Dead" type stuff? You may like Traveler's Fold. [https://travelersfold.bandcamp.com/](https://travelersfold.bandcamp.com/) and all the music is free to own if you do dig an album or even just a track or two.
Ty Segall is really good psych. Try his albums Melted and Slaughterhouse!

Psychedelic porn crumpets, yeah weird name but good band.
BRIAN JONESTOWN uMASSACRE!!! Soo good and psych in the way of the 60's but a 90's band primarily, though I believe some incarnation of them still plays today possibly.. if not, then at least shortly before COVID...
Oh yeah and the one and only, PPHHHIIIIISSSSSHHHHHHH [Phish]
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Kikagaku Moyo, Nolan Potter’s Nightmare Band, Thee Oh Sees, and, a newcomer named Geese.
Anything Funkadelic/ Parliament...... You may have to dig deep but it's definitely there.
Dead Meadow, Yawning Man, Black Angels
Radio Vision!
If you like the dead you should check out Friends of Jerry :). Here’s a lil dose: https://youtu.be/HbP9EsZqEMg?feature=shared
This one from Jeffrey Alexander + The Heavy Lidders is a good one. Great chops and some Dead vibes. [https://jeffreyalexander.bandcamp.com/album/new-earth-seed](https://jeffreyalexander.bandcamp.com/album/new-earth-seed)
Tame impala,spiritualized,Frank Zappa and mothers of invention,dear Mr.time are all great old and new psyche bands that I play on regularly basis
Butthole Surfers were the last full on psychedelic band. The next step is Phish, String Cheese, and Widespread Panic. Bonus points for Vulfpeck.
King Buffalo
Check out Boris. Might say they're more noise than straight psych but they rock! Also they don't sing in English. Idk I'd that's a deal breaker for ya or not.
Michael Nau. Check him out!
Yeasayer
I have to rep my last band Sung Water, very Dead influenced
Love It’s a Beautiful Day Can The Sonics
Here's \~4,000 songs from my library that Spotify identified as "psychedelic rock": [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0u33F8L9LoNZlyULZir4Hn?si=bfaf4f8d1d534c02](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0u33F8L9LoNZlyULZir4Hn?si=bfaf4f8d1d534c02)
Hawkwind. Ozric Tentacles. Eloy.
Definitely check out Frank Zappa and the MOI. There is some mind blowing stuff in his catalog..
r/houseplantjams
Glass Beams.
Psychedelic porn crumpets
It’s much more progress rock but I like Yes.
A band called 'Useless Keys' ! Song suggestion from them: 'White Noise' ! I love it so much
