Mondo Drag [US] + Early Moods [US]
American psychedelic rock bands Mondo Drag and Early Moods perform together at Spillestedet Stengade in Copenhagen.
Mondo Drag are an American psychedelic rock band originally from Davenport, Iowa, now based in Oakland, California. Core members John Gamiño (keyboards/vocals), Nolan Girard and Jake Sheley have played together since childhood, and since their 2010 debut have built a catalog of four albums rooted in 70s prog, krautrock and heavy psych. They are known for Gamiño's Hammond organ, crushing riffs and extended compositions, as well as a live reputation earned alongside acts like High On Fire, Dead Meadow and Pentagram.
Mondo Drag performed at Thee Stork Club in Oakland in May 2025 - their most recently recorded live concert.
The band toured Europe in October 2024 with stops in Hamburg, Aarau and Schweinfurt, among others.
Mondo Drag released their fourth album, Through the Hourglass, on September 15, 2023 via RidingEasy Records - their first release since 2016.
Lead singer and keyboardist John Gamiño explained that the album title Through the Hourglass reflects the pandemic period and a time when the band stood still.
