Rippleberry

Rippleberry plays White Tiger on Thursday, September 3, with the show starting at 7 PM. It's a single-bill night, so they're the only act on the bill.

If you haven't come across them before, the band describes their own sound in a few short phrases: "Microwaved psychedelia. Fermented funk. Safe for aural consumption." It's a bit of a riddle, but it points to where they sit—somewhere between the trippy, swirling textures of psych and the deep, locked-in grooves of funk, with a wink and a nod to the whole thing. The "microwaved" and "fermented" bits suggest a sound that's been cooked down and left to sit, rather than something polished and straight off the shelf.

That's the kind of set that works well on a Thursday night: something you can lean into and let run, rather than a tight, fast-paced show. If you're into psych-rock that doesn't take itself too seriously, this is exactly that. The description is their own, and it's a good way to get a sense of the room before you walk in.

White Tiger is at 1321 South Congress Avenue, right in the heart of South Congress, so it's easy to get to and easy to find. The show starts at 7 PM on Thursday, September 3.
