Self-proclaimed “trippy trio” Ruckzuck digs live shows, feeding off of spontaneity and grooving on audience energy. The band’s loping sets are part psychedelic, part Krautrock and unlike any other fusion of musical forms. And although the group’s lyrics are sometimes dark and emotional, nothing makes brothers Nick and Matt Bedo and Faith Kelly happier than keeping things weird, as proven with the winding, wailing, seven-plus-minute “Three Thirds a Space Baby.” Just Sex and How Come Sky share the bill.
Saturday 2/20. $7, 7pm. Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar, 414 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 293-9947.
