D.C. psych titans Dead Meadow return to Florida after a lengthy absence, though the reasons for this lull are, like the band, heavy. First, the band needed time to complete newest album Voyager to Voyager, a fine return to sundazed form. Second, they were mourning the passing of bassist Steve Kille from cancer. Singer and guitarist Jason Simon and drummer Mark Laughlin soldier on with an incredible new suite of songs that Kille was integral to, until the very end of his life.

“We’ve lost a bandmate, a brother, a friend, and a creative partner on this voyage of 26 years as Dead Meadow,” Simon says. “We are so very thankful to have this LP of new material, as Steve laid down his final bassline shortly before he became too sick to really play.”

7 p.m. Saturday, April 11, Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, $27.51.
