Earthless at the Rickshaw Theatre

      Whoa. Just the name of the San Diego instrumental psych-rock trio Earthless has our minds totally fucking blown.

      Think about it: if Earth is the only planet in the universe that supports life, imagine that same universe without Earth in it. It would just be, like, a bunch of minerals and gases making up totally dead solar systems. Now, put Earth back in the picture, and you realize that in the grand scheme of things, we’re just one tiny little speck of life floating in dead space. Sort of like the Whos down in Whoville, but with no Horton to hear us shout, “We are here!” It really brings to mind the utter pointlessness of everything, man. But that’s cool. As long as we have brain-expanding tunes like Earthless’s epic “Sonic Prayer”, with its blistering wah-wah guitar workouts, we’re at peace with the idea that nothing really matters.

      Earthless plays the Rickshaw Theatre on Thursday (October 8). On a cosmic scale, it doesn’t really matter if you go or not, but it’ll be a good time, so you really should.
