Guavatron just returned from a stunning set at Whippersnap Music & Art Festival, and they are just getting started. This Saturday, they will headline the aptly named GuavaFest in Stuart at Terra Fermata Tiki Bar with a great supporting lineup. Next they will play Sarbez! in St. Augustine for Widespread Panic after-party.

In May they will hit Guanabanas Island Restaurant & Bar in Jupiter, followed by a four-night run to Savannah’s Congress Street Social Club, Charleston Pour House, Asheville Music Hall, and SweetWater Brewing Company in the ATL. There’s more later in June in Boca, Bonita Springs, and Dunedin.
The West Palm Beach quartet belong on the national scene with their riveting blend of jamtronica, trance dance, and prog rock. About their set at Whippersnap, we wrote:
The boys from West Palm Beach, Guavatron, were ready to spread their version of jamtronic prog rock far and wide, opening with a massive 26-minute “Xilla” that eventually drifted into new tune “Mitochondriac.” Roddy Hansen’s keyboards and synths were omnipresent. Everything was working for the quartet, with Cory Ricardy and Casey Luden blowing up drums and bass. Joe Marcinek came up to wrangle guitars with Adonis Guava on superb composition “Help (I’m Stuck in the Fuselage).”
They were crushing some heavy prog but shifted gears a bit as Kanika Moore in furry parka joined them for a nasty take on the Franc Moody song “Dopamine.” DAMN! To cap it off, they romped through Pat Benatar’s “Heartbreaker,” with Moore letting it all out. Be still, my heart!
