If I asked you to guess what type of music The Electric Magpie make, no points for saying "neo-psychedelia." Still, The Electric Magpie go a bit of a way in terms of exploring the less explored corners of those '60s nuggets. Dashes of Canned Heat peak out from underneath the layers of Zombies, Turtles and Kinks. Pastoral folk-rock trades blows with heavy blues, and the trilling organs are there the whole way, planting squiggly ear worms in the listener. The Electric Magpie are signed to the Lolipop Records label, a California hub of psych-rock revivalists. Northern will be host to a showcase of fellow Lolipop Records labelmates, including the far-out haze of Mystic Braves, the moody stomp of Corners, and the shoegaze-leaning fuzz of Burning Palms.

THE ELECTRIC MAGPIE, w/ Mystic Braves, Corners, Burning Palms, 7 p.m., Northern, 414 1/2 Fourth Ave., Olympia, $7
