Oh my. I worry that Hobbits and talking trees are going to turn up anytime anybody drops the word 'dragon' in their band name. But the Dragons of Zynth don't deal in that kind of fantasy world. Coronation Thieves, the debut album produced by TV on The Radio's Dave Sitek by the Cleveland natives who (like everybody else) now live in Brooklyn, is an off the wall psychedelic head rush that moves from match rock time signature shifting trickiness to the soothing trippiness of "Anna Mae."
It's said that the Dragons are a fire breathing live band. On Saturday at Johnny Brenda's they're on a bill with Ravens and Vultures, the local laptop pop trio featuring sisters Chetana and Darshana Borah, whose music is as sweet as the Dragon's is gnarly. Ape School opens.
