From the venue:
Fantasy Guys goes down like an overpriced neon green margarita jacked up with saccharine syrup, and a toy umbrella catching the salty breeze. The Atlanta-based three-piece, featuring singer/guitarist Inyo Galatea, vibraphone player Maddy Davis, and bassist Mitchell Hardage, creates perpetually chill music steeped in parrot headed-kitsch. The group’s first full-length, On Poppy Island, turns its flare for tropical camp into a full-bodied aesthetic in songs such as “Don’t Go, Jason Waterfalls,†“Surfin’ on a Wave of Juice,†and “Bae Caught Me Vapin’†— each song is anchored by infectious melodies, a technicolor palette of sound, and pure pop bliss.
