Dispatches from three days at the Far Out Lounge
“How psyched are y’all?” “We’re so psyched to be here!” We’d missed out on such onstage banter in the since-2015 gap after Austin Psych Fest rebranded to Levitation.
But with South Austin’s Far Out Lounge & Stage as a willing two-stage host, the OG event relaunched last year, getting everyone psyched up all over again.

Check out thein a sunny afternoon slot.
Singer/bassist Emily Kempf, between Roy Orbison-ish yelps and almost-yodels, addressed the pleasant haze. “I’m just gonna explain our fugue state,” she said before something about a wedding, rave, and recent flights.

.” He sounded most emotional in repeated lines about the song’s escapist landscape of rock creation. He played keyboard on another newbie, “Another Good Year for the Roses,” before a second-half run of familiar selects. I swear he also reworked some of the words of 2018’s “Check Baby” to mumble about checking pedals in a chain, but maybe I was just drinking the Kool-Aid. While generally regarding the audience with aduring the synth chillouts between songs, Vile certainly was too.
