Spiro's Amphitheater was the perfect venue for Citay's 70's-inspired psych/folk/post-hippie/post-rock jams. Ezra Feinberg's open-stringed acoustic guitar strumming provided the backbone to an interlocking web of electric guitar leads courtesy of Adria Otte and Jesse Reiner. Bassist Diego Gonzales and keyboardist/glockenspielist Tahlia Harbour chimed in to harmonize Feinberg's vocals. Warren Huegel presided over a de-snared, tambourine-garnished drum set where the rack tom had been replaced by two bongos. And apparently Citay's been playing with less members than usual...
Apparently Citay had so much fun with us in Austin that they decided to tour their way up to WFMU headquarters here in Jersey City. Tune into Liz B's show on Monday to catch Citay performing live in the WFMU studios. They'll be joined by Columbus OH's degenerate garage punks Mors Ontologica
