Well, it's time for our weekly installment of “hippies with electronic doohickeys.” At first, when this whole jamtronica thing started gaining steam, we thought it was just a Nashville thing, ’cuz, you know, this town is full of weirdos. But we got confirmation — from a friend of a friend who happens to be a booking agent — that this is what the kids are into all over. If you want to tour and you want people to show up, your best chance is to start a band that sounds like a cross between Weather Report and Stereo MCs: the kids fucking love it. We can't explain it, but they do. Oxford, Miss., quintet Zoogma take the genre to its most spaced-out conclusion, washing the crowd in psychedelic sounds with enough boom-bap beats to keep them from coming across as offensively noodly. Zoogma are joined by Murfreesboro dub freaks Beat Repeat and Bowling Green's Canago.
