Years ago, I saw the Allah-Las live at Webster Hall. I had no idea what I was in for. I had never heard of them. I came away with another favorite band to add to my list. Their psychedelic surf-rock sound washed over the crowd and took us with them for the next hour. The band’s last album, Zuma 85, came out in 2023 and was their way of reinventing themselves “in defiance of algorithmic categorization and robotic sterility.” Now we’re in a new era of Allah-Las and they’re playing Nightclub 101, an intimate venue that will be a great setting for their live show. —Henry McGrath
