The Peoples Temple are on tour and make their NYC debut tonight (4/6) at Death by Audio with Apache Dropout, Yellow Dogs and Dead Sands.The band’s Sons of Stone made my Favorite Albums of 2012 list, where I wrote this:

For those who long for the days when Anton Newcombe wrote catchy psych pop instead of plodding through the haze for eight minutes at a stretch might want to check out Lansing, Michigan’s Peoples Temple. Not only do they share a proclivity for catchy ’60s-ish acid pop, their name is a reference to Jim Jones’ cult. Dig.

You can download Sons of Stone’s title track at the top of this post and click through for the video for “Axeman”, the flyer for tonight’s show, and all dates….
