War, global warming and general political upheaval got you down? Well, if the future of music sounds like this, there's hope for tomorrow after all! For three Thursday nights in February, you can catch NYC's Dragons of Zynth rip forth their wacked-out futuro-rock at Tonic. That's three chances to see this insanely entertaining live band. Don't strike out!

Dragons of Zynth are gaining a strong word-of-mouth following based on the strength of their crazy live shows. Not too long ago, there was a week where it seemed like everyone I talked to about music brought up Dragons of Zynth and how awesome they are. So I figured I better see what these guys are all about. I'm glad I did. These five guys put it all out there. Think of their sound as sort of synthy stoner rock from outer space. According to their bio, they take an "audio-physio-psychic" approach to music. Sounds spot-on to my ears. They are currently working on their debut album, with production help from some of the TV on the Radio guys, and will then commence in taking over the world. 2007 could very well be the year of Dragons of Zynth.

Dragons of Zynth play The Parish II, on Thursday, March 15th.
