Interstate made some significant noise beyond our little local region.Anchored by brothers Cy and Seth Erickson, the group signed to a couple of cool independent record labels (Turquoise Mountain and Poison Tree), played some prestigious music festivals (SXSW, CMJ, International Pop Overthrow) and toured all over. In 2006, they released their self-titled debut album, and in 2008, they released “Kimono Dragon,” about which I wrote this in the same publication you hold in your hands today:“Sprawling and spaced out, the third album from (A.M. Interstate) is a pinch of pop and a touch of twang, all shrouded in a psychedelic haze. One listen and you’ll be ready to drop everything and join the love revolution.”The band took a short break in the mid-2010s, but has been chugging along ever since — writing songs, recording them and releasing records, this time with Cy’s son Delos Erickson in the fold. Their brand new album is called “Transformation,” and on Friday, they’ll return to the stage with a show at Silver Moon Brewing, where they’ll have vinyl copies available for sale.A.M. Interstate’s sound has evolved since I wrote that 2008 blurb, but they still draw from the same sonic buckets as they did back then: Classic rock ‘n’ roll, roots music, indie, psych and blues. It’s the way they put ’em all together — unhurried, undulating and effortlessly cool — that makes ’em great. Welcome back, fellas!A.M. Interstate, with Mari &amp; the Dream: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 13, $15, Silver Moon Brewing, 24 NW Greenwood Ave., Bend, silvermoonbrewing.com.</div></body>
