Austin Psych Fest has changed the name of its annual blowout to Austin Psych Fest presents: Levitation, and the show is going on the road and coming to town. Levitation Chicago hits Thalia Hall next month, and Empty Bottle Presents announced the initial lineup for the two-day bash back in January—postpunk outfit the Pop Group and shoegaze band Swervedriver are the big, attention-grabbing groups and easily worth the price of admission.
