Cult of Riggonia
Saturday, 11 p.m.

Cult of Riggonia is a psychedelic collective from Macon, GA. There are waves of texture with catchy melodies that rise up from the primordial stew. The sound hints of Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band, Animal Collective, Gong, and African music. Their live show, with video projections, costumes, and stuffed animals, is a full-on sensory experience.
