PICK: Yep, this is the 7th Columbus PsychFest. Eye is (or, at least was) the guitarist & drummer from Pretty Weapons and the bassist from Teeth of the Hydra so, yeah, there's some space-y Sabbath and Floyd influence. It's been years since I last saw Floorian and this may be their first show since then. They add a touch of Floyd/60's era psychedelia polish to the spaciness. Mortimur has reunited a little nosier and louder after 5 years off on other projects like Brainbow.
