THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “What started four years ago as a wishful music fantasy — a supergroup of California psychedelic rockers — is now a reality.
The brainchild of Grammy-winning guitarist Dave Alvin and veteran alternative music bassist Victor Krummenacher (Camper Van Beethoven, Monks of Doom), The Third Mind’s two studio albums – The Third Mind (2020) and The Third Mind 2 (2023) — feature guitarist David Immerglück (Counting Crows, Monks of Doom, Camper Van Beethoven), drummer Michael Jerome (Richard Thompson, Better Than Ezra, John Cale) and vocalist Jesse Sykes (The Sweeter Hereafter).
The Third Mind live psychedelic improv performances include the addition of guest guitarist Mark Karan (Bob Weir’s Ratdog, Phil Lesh, Delaney Bramlett) subbing for Immerglück. With over an hour of performances, Live Mind was overseen and curated by Don Boles, Will Golden and Brett Brock from shows in February and March 2024 at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, Ventura Music Hall in Ventura, and The Kessler Theater in Dallas. Produced by Alvin and Krummenacher, the album was mixed and mastered by Craig Parker Adams at Winslow Court in Los Angeles.”
