Allah-Las

The Observatory, 3503 S Harbor Blvd, Santa Ana. June 4th. Allah-Las — the Los Angeles band that has been making sunbaked, reverb-soaked guitar music since 2012 with the patience of a group that was never chasing anything and therefore arrived exactly where they intended — at the Observatory for a night of the catalog that made them Southern California's most beloved garage-psych export.

Allah-Las are a homecoming whenever they play Southern California. The music sounds like it came from here, which it did, and a room full of people who have been listening since the first record carries that recognition into every song. The Observatory in Santa Ana is the right mid-size venue — the floor is built for the crowd this band draws, the sound handles their particular mix of jangle and space, and the room is close enough that the subtlety of the guitar work comes through.
