Healing Gems w/ lluvii and The Flowertones

The Flowertones play The Far Out Lounge & Stage on Tuesday, September 1, as part of a bill that brings in Healing Gems from Los Angeles. The Flowertones are three Texans who write love songs, and they'll be sharing the stage with lluvii and the headliner.

Healing Gems is a six-piece exotica and psychedelic-lounge band based in Los Angeles, formed in 2016. They bill themselves as a mini-orchestra, and that's a fair description for a group with six members on stage. They've built a following in Southern California around a playful, nostalgic, cinematic style that evokes vintage film soundtracks and sunny, faraway destinations. It's the kind of music that leans into a specific mood—mid-century lounge and psychedelic pop—rather than a single genre. Over the years, they've opened for Nick Waterhouse, The Buttertones, and Sad Girl, and played festivals like Desert Daze and Tropicalia.

So the night puts a Los Angeles exotica ensemble at the top, with the Texas-based love songs of The Flowertones and lluvii filling out the rest of the bill. It's a mix of sounds on one stage: the cinematic, retro-lounge of the headliner alongside the songwriting of the local act. Doors open at 7 PM, and the show is on Tuesday, September 1, at The Far Out Lounge & Stage.
