“Hi, I’m Sativa Flats. You may remember me from bands such as Vampire Hands, Daughters of the Sun, Heavy Deeds, Synchrocyclotron, The Chambermaids…” It may be Troy McClure’s shtick, but it rings true with these four band members, all of whom have been in an impressive number of local bands over the past years. As Sativa Flats the quartet (Chris Rose, Bennet Johnson, Scott Watson and Neil Weir) Sativa Flats play dreamy, understated psychedelia that combines gauzy acoustic guitar, drum machine beats, and vocals, all through a filter of a rag soaked with chloroform. You can preview a couple of the band’s works below and catch them live every Wed. of August at the Turf Club (including TONIGHT).
