Whoooooooa man, I'm tripping on some heavy stuff! What's that, dude? What am I on? Just a little Geist and the Sacred Ensemble, that's what. No, that's not some kinda new drug. They're a band, man. And they're laying down their sound - think Gregorian chant meets mind-expanding electronic freakiness - Saturday night at the Aquarius Space Out. That's at the Java Jive, brother. 8 p.m. Oh yeah, and the band got some other cats with them in the van: The Low Hums outta Seattle, whose brand of catchy space-rock will fit right in (hey, they have a song called "Gongs and Bongs"!) and, rounding out this consciousness-altering show, Retrospecter. Maybe you knew them as Tacoma's The Sugar Beats, but they, like, reincarnated (whooooooa, again!). Anyhow, Retrospecter's kaleidoscope musings provide the third leg of what is bound to be a pretty trippy evening. Expect a contact high!

AQUARIUS SPACE OUT, featuring Geist and the Sacred Ensemble, The Low Hums, Retrospecter, 8 p.m., Bob's Java Jive, 2102 S. Tacoma Way, Tacoma, 253.475.9843
