Detroit psych rock band Sisters of Your Sunshine Vapor have announced announce their 5th annual ECHO Fest, to be held at The Loving Touch in Ferndale,on Saturday, Nov. 15. The show starts at 6 p.m.

Formed and curated by the band, ECHO Fest showcases Detroit’s and the Midwest’s burgeoning and varied psychedelic music scene, including psych rock, shoegaze, garage and more. Mixed with its trademark visuals and mood-filled lighting it has become an event that stands on its own.

Each attendee will receive a free pair of diffraction glasses which separates light into huge rainbow star bursts to transform the already trippy light show into the the most intense visual experience of your life. The event will host two stages filled with swirling lights, fuzzed out guitars, and of course so much delay that time travel may become possible.

This year’s ECHO Fest will feature 14 bands on two stages from across the Midwest, half of which are from the Detroit area. Also, for the first time, ECHO Fest is an 18-and-over show. This year’s line-up includes ECHO Fest organizers Sisters of Your Sunshine Vapor (Detroit), Elephant Stone (Montreal), Dead Leaf Echo (NYC/Brooklyn), The Witches (Detroit), Plastic Crimewave Syndicate (Chicago), Rogue Satellites (Detroit), MOSS FOLK (Milwaukee), Matthew Smith of Outrageous Cherry (Detroit) and more.
