50 years after the Summer of Love, Been Fong-Torres discusses the "San Francisco Sound" and the revolutionary attitude that propelled artists like the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane to fame.
Ben Fong-Torres paints a picture of Jerry Garcia's the last performances with The Grateful Dead, ending with his final concert on July 9 of 1995 in Soldier Field.
We sat down with our Technical Writer Rishi Dhir, Montreal multi-instrumentalist, bandleader (of noble psych-pop act Elephant Stone) and newly minted acid-house DJ/sitarist who's also the brains behind his latest project, MIEN.
MIEN’s self-titled, debut album is a colossus; the product of a band that thought huge, pushed itself to its limits, and devoted to breaking open its own understanding of what psychedelic rock music could be.
