Born on a high desert wind, Sheverb is a womxn-led, collectively run, psychedelic desert rock band based in Austin, TX. Armed with their instruments, the Ladies of Reverb are out to challenge our understanding of the romanticized old west with their peyote-fueled, surf-infused sounds. The core of this collective consists of Betty Benedeadly, Xina Ocasio, Lainey Smith, and James Mescall, who bring together the guitar twang of spaghetti westerns with the driving rhythms of krautrock. In the past two years, Sheverb crowdfunded an album, Chapter One, as well as a vinyl EP, completed two successful tours of the Southwest, and created a “smoldering sound [that] matches Texas heat in a big way” (The Austinot).
Influences: Ennio Morricone, Spindrift, Stereolab, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Velvet Underground, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Neu!, Link Ray, The Cramps, Rodriguez, Black Angels
