When I first heard the name Nolan Potter's Nightmare Band, I was worried that I would be listening to nightmarish music. There might be unpleasant vocals or maybe a detuned banjo. Luckily, this was not the case.
This Austin-based psych band came to the 2023 Milwaukee Psych Fest and played a subtle set consisting of melodic psychedelia infused with elements of Krautrock and 1970s-era prog rock.
