Keep things groovy and psychedelic this holiday season at the always-reliable Caravan Lounge, which presents Holiday Good Times N’ Cheer! with three local heavy hitters: the Magick Blues Band, Casual Vibes and Zack Freitas. Encompassing the realms of psychedelic, garage and folk rock, the night will start out mellow, with the soulful sounds of singer-songwriter Freitas, whose one-man show draws inspiration from crooners like Elliott Smith and Nick Drake. Casual Vibes provides exactly that: a perfect musical backdrop to hanging out with friends, while Magick Blues Band closes the night with their heavy and soul-inflected sound pulled straight from the ’60s.

Good Times
Thu, 9pm, Free
The Caravan, San Jose

How does a group of young rogues from the South Bay end up the No. 3 pick on a UK-based magazine’s listicle of the best new music of the year? Who cares? It’s fucking rock & roll! But for those keeping score, Classic Rock did name the fuzzed-out garage rockers Casual Vibes the third best thing in rockdom so far this year. Citing the band’s ode to good times, “Saturday Night,” the review enthuses, “This San Jose band are like a gold medallion laying on a pillow of chest hair in the dive bar of your mind.” Right on.
