Devendra and pals have been rolling down the West Coast, in support of the forthcoming Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon. Mr. Banhart brought his freak folk supergroup, known as the Spiritual Bonerz (the "z" is silent, obvs), to Santa Cruz's Rio Theatre late last week. The Bonerz(s?)-- comprised of Smokey collaborators Noah Georgeson, Joanna-brother Pete Newsom, Priestbird's Greg Rogove, Vetiver's Andy Cabic, and Luckey Remington-- plucked out some tunes from the forthcoming LP, which features even more collaborations by everyone from Black Crowe Chris Robinson and Matteah Baim to actor Gael García Bernal. More photos (including a wide angle shot of all the Bonerz) and Banhart's remaining tour dates below.
Bummer Dev wasn't adorned in that press photo getup!
