<p>Check out their latest album, Dream Decibels. </p>
<p>With a complete, cohesive flow from start to finish, Dream Decibels takes you through the spectrum of human experience, to the stars and cosmos beyond, and then gently carries you back down to earth with their final song “Back Home.” </p>
<p>Every song on this album has its own purpose and intent. The songs vary dramatically to give you different energetic vibes and feelings. They flow together seamlessly, making for a complete e(ar)-xperience.</p>
<p>Kicking it off with “Faster Than the Speed of Light”: like the name implies, it’s a high-powered anthem that instantly gets you going and brings you up to speed. This is what The Love Dimension offers on first listen, that energetic rocker vibe. </p>
<p>Then, it eases into “Super Velvet Eagle,” slowing it down. This song invoked powerful imagery when I closed my eyes. I saw trippy amoeba-like blobs shrinking and then growing in size. To complement these visuals, the song awakened feelings of traveling through time and space with its synthy guitar, reminiscent of “Tame Impala,” while holding onto their hard rock persona. </p>
<p>The lyrics say things like, “And you tell yourself this is where you’re meant to be,” plus “Are you ever coming back?” These powerful words make you question where you are in the present, infusing the past by making you reflect on every action that has brought you to this current moment, and pointing to the future by asking the questions that place your destiny in the palm of your hands.</p>
<p>The next two songs get you grooving with more classic psychedelic rock sounds. </p>
<p>In the songs “Another Hundred Suns” and “How Many Miles,” you can’t help but feel the good vibes and tingling through your veins. Everything came alive: my hips were gyrating; my head began to bang unconsciously and then consciously. </p>
<p>It just goes to prove that the album builds in an intentional and meaningful way. It slowly awakens each body part, one at a time. Following the excitement and rise in energy from those songs, “Infinity Return” slows it back down. After moving so many parts of your body, this song gives you a chance to channel in the restorative yin energy, putting you in a trance. It showcases the effect that music and vibrations can have on your body and soul. </p>
<p>The Love Dimension shows off their versatility here, proving they can appeal to harder rockers as well as more trancey psychedelic music enthusiasts.</p>
<p>The rest of the album flows just as seamlessly. “Possessed by Possessions” makes you question your relationship to objects, with sounds and lyrics that mimic what it feels like to be overburdened by material possessions. </p>
<p>Then we tap into the universe and the power of the elements with “Cosmic Elevation.” With lyrics like, “your body becomes the earth again,” this song made me think about the fact that nature has its cycle, and us meager humans can’t do anything to stop it. The earth will come to claim us, and then we will move on to cosmic elevation. It is our destiny. Death isn’t necessarily a bad thing; it’s a part of the cycle. </p>
<p>Finally, the last three songs calm you down and bring you back to earth. Again, the vibe is so different from previous songs; it’s almost like another band is playing. It’s wildly impressive and shows the many different layers of The Love Dimension.</p>
<p>The album as a whole is phenomenal. It makes sense, and it takes you through both human and otherworldly experiences. It brings you down when you need to feel certain emotions and those parts of the human experience. It tranquilizes you when you need to be calmed. And finally, it has rocking hits that will get your body moving and grooving.</p>

<p>The Love Dimension gives the right amount of energy through the imperishable vintage transformer. If in the wild, desolate defect of the space-time continuum, Birth Control and Primal Scream had collided, “Another Hundred Suns” would have been born. Hallucinogenic sandy fuzz, a dense drum thread and a combination of twisting vocals make it absolutely clear what sound pressure is.</p>
<p>On January 18, The Love Dimension dropped their fourth LP “Dream Decibels”, full of soulful melodies and quaint action, where grunge, garage rock, surf and much more are patched with psychedelic Californian shreds from the 60's. <a href="https://gtqlizer.blogspot.com/2019/01/the-love-dimension-another-hundred-suns.html" target="_blank">Read more</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/56045812019-01-16T10:00:00-08:002021-03-23T02:56:13-07:00PREMIERE: SF’s The Love Dimension tackles tour life with ‘How Many Miles’ video<p>
Drawing from the feral energy of grunge and the mind-altering haze of ’60s psychedelia, The Love Dimension bridges the gap between three decades with a knack for infectious riffs and fire-starting hooks. The San Francisco denizens are gearing up to start 2019 with the release of their fourth LP, Dream Decibels.

<p>Riff Magazine</p>
<p>by Chloe Catajan</p>
<p>San Francisco’s The Love Dimension takes the hazy sound of ‘60s psychedelia and pairs it with a garage rock twist. The band itself has quite an alternating lineup, but frontman Jimmy L. Dias remains the steady pillar of it all. Fittingly, Dias told RIFF last January that he aims to make music that’s like “a lighthouse” for listeners, “shin[ing] a light so others can find their way.” </p>
<p>The Love Dimension, Agouti, Down Dirty Shake <br>9 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 16 <br>Bottom of the Hill <br>Tickets: $8-$12. </p>
<p>Now, The Love Dimension is releasing a music video for the aptly titled track, “I’ll Find a Way.” We are thrilled to premiere it below! </p>
<p>Off the group’s latest EP, Acceptance, “I’ll Find a Way” features a groovy melody driven by fiery, heroic-sounding guitar riffs. The video dives straight into scenes of outer space and kaleidoscope patterns, with glitches and distortions constantly sneaking in. To make the video, The Love Dimension combined forces with Scott Franklin, vocalist-guitarist of Bay Area band Buzzmutt. </p>
<p>Buzzmutt also fuses ‘60s psych rock with grunge, and the band is no stranger to incorporating abstract graphics with their releases. The two bands met through holding practices at Secret Studios. With complete creative control from Dias, Franklin started with a couple photos of Dias and the band, and then brought the images to life. </p>
<p>“I feel like the video reflects the energy of the band—always changing, shifting and adapting to the present moment,” Dias said. “The song is about never giving up, being persistent and following your dreams with all your heart. I feel like the fractals in the video could represent that too. With the endless quantum possibilities this universe provides, there is always a way.” </p>
<p>You can hear “I’ll Find a Way” in person at Bottom of the Hill on Sept. 16. An evening of modern-day psychedelic rock, the show features performances by Agouti, Down Dirty Shake and The Love Dimension.</p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/48067542017-08-07T11:35:00-07:002017-08-08T09:33:31-07:00Tune into WXCI 91.7 West Conn Radio 'Music in Your Shoes'<p>THIS MONDAY NIGHT, AUG 7TH TUNE INTO WXCI 91.7 West Conn Radio 'Music in Your Shoes', 8-10pm ET TO HEAR MYSELF, Jimmy Dias OF The Love Dimension & Carissa Johnson FROM OUR PERFORMANCE & INTERVIEW WE DID BACK IN MAY W/ DJ AC & Cool J!</p>

<p>The Love Dimension: That name alone conjures up the late 1960s, when the most far-out music was coming out of the Haight-Ashbury district and was best experienced on an, ahem, alternate plane. No surprise, then, that this psych-rock collective is originally from San Francisco, and their fuzzed-out sound harkens back to some of the Bay Area’s most famous psychedelic groups: Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape, the Grateful Dead. Founded by frontman Jimmy L. Dias, who’s backed by a constantly rotating roster of musicians — some shows feature only a few members; others will boast a dozen or so — the Love Dimension is more than just a throwback act, as elements of ’90s alt-rock and contemporary electronica sneak their way into the music. Fans of the Brian Jonestown Massacre should be in heaven. </p>

<p>Vanessa Silberman has played more than 250 shows in the last 18 months. She plays Front of House Lounge Tuesday. </p>
<p>By Brett Johnston </p>
<p>Los Angeles-based independent alt-rocker Vanessa Silberman has lived on the road for more than a year-and-a-half. She teamed up with Jimmy Dias of San Francisco’s psych/surf rock outfit The Love Dimension for a summer tour as a co-headlining two-piece. Silberman returns to Springfield for the fourth time since 2005, Tuesday at Front of House Lounge. </p>
<p>417: Have you really played around 250 shows in the last 18 months? What keeps you going on the road? </p>
<p>Vanessa Silberman: I love it. Music is so fulfilling. I’ve been out consecutively since January, so it’s pushing more like 260 or 270 [gigs] at this point, not including the double-duty of backing each other. Me and Jimmy started this tour at the end of March. In LA, I had an amazing job at a recording studio, but I really wanted to take a chance with touring and being an artist. I got to work with some of my heroes who I grew up listening to, but at the end of the day I wanted to take a chance on myself. I can sit behind a console later in life. </p>
<p>417: Do you have any favorite stops on the road? Has any place surprised you at all? </p>
<p>Silberman: It’s kind of hard to say, there are so many cool, amazing cities around the country. Usually it’s the smaller towns that don’t expect somebody from LA to come play. Fort Stockton, Texas was like that. Saint Augustine, Florida was amazing. That city was so unexpected, and so historical—the first [founded] city in the country and has such a cool scene there. </p>
<p>417: How would you describe your sound to new listeners? </p>
<p>Silberman: Going solo, I’m really looking to experiment, not be afraid to try stuff. The exciting thing about being solo is collaborating with so many different people. We feature different players, so it leaves a lot of open-endedness. We get a lot of comparison when I’m backing [Jimmy] to The White Stripes. </p>
<p>417: Is there any particular message to your writing? </p>
<p>Silberman: My message is giving hope and positivity through music. Even being on the road, showing women that you can be a woman on the road alone. I’ve done it. You can do it, too.</p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/47942832017-06-18T11:10:00-07:002018-09-28T03:13:49-07:00Rake's End, Jun, 2017: Photos and Video<p><a contents="https://goo.gl/photos/rn3R83pnTXmtYGFN9" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://goo.gl/photos/rn3R83pnTXmtYGFN9" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/photos/rn3R83pnTXmtYGFN9</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/47542462017-06-15T00:05:00-07:002017-06-22T15:09:16-07:00Bang the drum: Indie artists help each other stay upbeat<p><a contents="http://www.columbiatribune.com/entertainmentlife/20170615/bang-drum-indie-artists-help-each-other-stay-upbeat" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.columbiatribune.com/entertainmentlife/20170615/bang-drum-indie-artists-help-each-other-stay-upbeat" target="_blank">http://www.columbiatribune.com/entertainmentlife/20170615/bang-drum-indie-artists-help-each-other-stay-upbeat</a></p>

<p>Touring, if rock ballads and band diaries are to be believed, can get a little monotonous. </p>
<p>Playing the same songs night after night after night. An endless cycle of green rooms and budget hotels. </p>
<p>But for Vanessa Silberman and Jimmy Dias, their current jaunt feels new, maybe even a little precarious, each night. </p>
<p>She is a Los Angeles-based Jill of all trades who creates her own music, but also boosts other performers through producing, engineering and artist development. Silberman writes melodic rock steeped in the grit and grunge of the 1990s. He is the heartbeat of The Love Dimension, a San Francisco band that fits neatly within that city’s lineage of great psych-pop bands. </p>
<p>As artists, each marches to the beat of their own drummer. On this tour, those drummers just happen to be one another — Silberman and Dias are trading time behind the drums, backing the other’s set. </p>
<p>VANESSA SILBERMAN, THE LOVE DIMENSION, BLANK TRIP </p>
<p>When: Doors open at 8 p.m. Monday </p>
<p>Where: Cafe Berlin, 220 N. Tenth St. </p>
<p>Tickets: $5 </p>
<p>Website: www.cafeberlincomo.com </p>
<p>Silberman often tours alone; Dias’ band is a rotating collective. So in this case, it made sense to help each other out. Their willingness to get behind the kit typifies the sort of “where there’s a will, there’s a way” most independent musicians adopt. </p>
<p>Sitting in the drum chair, in addition to their other musical roles, has brought growth for both artists. Silberman has written drum parts in the studio, but never drummed live for another artist. Dias has heard his sound expand and deepen by degrees. </p>
<p>Silberman’s sound has put him back in touch with his roots in grunge and punk — among his earliest influences were artists such as Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins. When she plays Love Dimension songs, they take on a sort of White Stripes-esque quality, he said. </p>
<p>The tour is a marriage of the natural and uncomfortable, of instinct and intention. Dias started out on drums, bringing a rhythmic orientation to his music. </p>
<p>“I think of guitar more as a drum in a way,” he said, with guitar strokes corresponding to snare hits, for example. </p>
<p>Silberman has enjoyed the chance to supply harmonies on Dias’ songs, which naturally leave space for vocal layers. </p>
<p>Both have learned lessons about endurance, pulling double duty each night. </p>
<p>“I have to drum first before I sing,” Silberman said. ”... I use so much energy for playing guitar and singing ... it is so difficult ... for me to drum after that, because I’m exhausted.” </p>
<p>They also have had nightly, tangible reminders about flexibility. That characteristic has to be present to maintain a touring schedule and a musical life, Silberman said. </p>
<p>There are other fringe benefits to the arrangement — both Silberman and Dias joked that loading in and breaking down drums each night has helped them get in better physical shape.</p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/47943252017-06-10T11:00:00-07:002017-07-27T11:22:48-07:00Live at the Historic Melody Inn in Indianapolis<p><a contents="https://youtu.be/Ttw7SpLoHT4 " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://youtu.be/Ttw7SpLoHT4" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/Ttw7SpLoHT4 </a></p>

<p>Call them a band, call them a collective, definitely call them “groovy.” </p>
<p>With a rotating lineup of 80+ members, The Love Dimension might not seem like a typical band, whatever this vibey psychedelica-meets-90s-grunge band from the Bay Area is doing, it’s working. We met up with Jimmy L. Dias (guitar/vocals), Amy Jane Cronkleton (vocals), Celeste Obomsawin (vocals/percussion/flute), Devin Farney (keyboard/vocals), Michael Summers (bass), and Robinson Kuntz (drums) to talk about what it means to go to “the love dimension,” what creative collaboration is like within a music collective, and what it’s like balancing parenthood and being in a band. </p>

<p>oxy Loxy’s intimate First Friday performance series has become a staple of blooming art scene that takes place during the first week of every month in Savannah. Along with the monthly celebration of First Friday in the Starland District, Foxy’s courtyard performances make for the perfect way to experience the arts scene in a much more intimate manner. For this month’s performance, Vanessa Silberman and The Love Dimension’s Jimmy Dias will be taking the stage as a duo, providing a slightly stripped down, but no less powerful, version of their individual projects. In anticipation of their performance, we had the opportunity to discuss the upcoming show among other things in a short interview with Vanessa. </p>
<p>hissing lawns: Could you give our readers a little info about your project and influences? </p>
<p>Vanessa Silberman: For my solo [Vanessa Silberman] music it’s a mix of musical influences that range from grunge rock to punk & hip hop to old singer songwriter country blues to 60’s, pop & just raw recordings where’s it’s about the song / emotion & message. For my solo music I really wanted to have a lot of freedom to collaborate as well as to be very hands on since I’m also a producer/engineer/mixer or try things I never done before but all while keeping the sound cohesive so the songs aren’t all over the place genre-wise but more just hint at these influences! Another influence is positivity & hope –My goal is really to carry that through my music / message to help people & give hope as well as to encourage them that they can play music or tour. Or just follow their heart for that matter! </p>
<p>——- </p>
<p>hl: This being your second time coming through Savannah, was there anything about the city or the music scene in particular that drew you back? </p>
<p>VS: The place, it’s so beautiful & different from anywhere else in the states. I love south & it’s people! Almost like a cousin of New Orleans! It’s got such an old wonderful history & I love old historical places. A great college community too! Foxy Loxy is very intimate as well which makes it different, unique & raw as they use no PA. I love that! It’s nice to change it up versus the wild rock shows! </p>
<p>—— </p>
<p>hl: Could you give our readers a bit of info on how you found yourself touring with The Love Dimension? </p>
<p>VS: Jimmy’s San Francisco band/collective The Love Dimension is part of A Diamond Heart Production, which is my artist development label. I met him / heard about his band from a music writer & another band who is on the label. He reached out…we started talking & then maybe 6 months later or so we played a show together –we were doing similar things at the time, playing solo & I got what he was trying to do & we started working together….I started helping him develop his band. At the show we played, he also mentioned that he was a drummer & he’d love to drum for me if I ever needed a drummer so I invited him to do a west coast tour with me as I was touring solo a lot. It was fun so & we both decided we’d back each other & do a big US tour / help each other out as it’s hard to get regular players to commit to tour for long periods of time as a regular band especially when you’re building. And because of that very reason I was touring solo (because I love touring & didn’t want to wait around for anyone) but I’ve been developing my live show more & adding more players. This US Tour has allowed us to build our live shows & back each other on drums, or other instruments & build in markets more but also we’re able to invite different players, friends or featured musicians (which is what I do a lot of) or even partner up with other acts (we’re doing a East Coast tour with a great Boston rock Artist Carissa Johnson) & expand the live show. </p>
<p>I feel like since I’ve been in the business so long that it feels right to give back & help other artists… especially on the development side or people I come across…I want to keep building, create community across the US, & change the world through music. Music makes people come together & helps us in life, gives us joy, hope & so much more. It’s not one person who can change world / music but it’s many! </p>
<p>—- </p>
<p>hl: You also run a developmental label, mind giving us a little info on that as well? Any major plans for that in the future? </p>
<p>VS: A Diamond Heart Production is a artist development label, a label for artists in this new era but with old school traits and hands on ways! <br>It was mainly created as kind of a umbrella to be able to do work on everything I do under it –everything from recording to art, imaging, & indie A&R to booking & release plans…I wanted an outlet for myself & other artists I believe in. I have had nearly every job in the business so I wanted to be able to offer artists a label / place that does everything, but on an indie level! Very grass roots. </p>
<p>Let’s say a band has everything in place (record, some funds to promote record for radio & PR, image, live show) but they don’t know how to put a release plan or steps to take. That’s where I might be helpful or another example is if they need a record produced & art but have the people to push the release etc so there’s a lot of options & everyone is different! But these days since I’m building & touring a lot as a artist myself I’ve mainly been just focusing on producing / recording & indie A&R which are my favorite things. The label has a small digital distro side too & I will expand it more / grow it to do specialty physical releases like collector items (such as tapes & vinyl) & eventually I want to invest in other bands on a really big level & partner with a bigger label. </p>
<p>—– </p>
<p>hl: We know that your show on the 5th will be an acoustic set. Do you approach anything differently when playing something in a setting like that? </p>
<p>VS: Yes, actually since they do it old school style (with no amplification) at Foxy Loxy I will def do some more mellow songs & maybe give myself a chance to sing a bit more of my quieter songs for a change but also just depends on audience/crowd! Sometimes I see those environments as a cool opportunity to try out new material. </p>
<p>——- </p>
<p>hl: Mind letting us know about anything coming down the pipeline for you or for The Love Dimension? Any last words for our readers? </p>
<p>VS: Yes! I’ll be coming out with a Tape (TBA) & new single of a song called “OK” (feat. Reed Mullin of Corrosion of Conformity/Teenage Time Killers & Producer/Musician Mikel Ross) which will come out in the near future (its being mixed right now). It was recorded on an off day in DC when we did a East Coast tour together in March. I will definitely be touring with them lot more in the future. I’m playing a the Star City Music Festival w/ them on July 8th in Brisbane CA. </p>
<p>The Love Dimension just released a new EP called Acceptance produced by Tommy Dietrick on A Diamond Heart. </p>

<p>It’s always cool having an intern who’s into music, but never did I anticipate that my intern would be recruited by one of her interviewees! </p>
<p>This past Easter Sunday at The Lowbrow Palace, our intern Andrea Sandoval performed with L.A.-based singer-songwriter and guitarist Vanessa Silberman and Jimmy Dias, guitarist and founder of San Francisco psychedelic rock outfit The Love Dimension. While interviewing the two for us last month, they both asked her if she could play bass. A yes turned into a double yes when they asked if she’d like to join them on stage. </p>
<p>I really commend Andrea, not only charging forward with the decision on a whim, but for also squeezing in practice between working, interning for us and attending classes at UTEP, where she double majors in creative writing and multimedia journalism. Plus, she performed a late show on a school night! </p>
<p>The performances were packed with energy, Vanessa and Jimmy were genuinely friendly – and most importantly – it was really awesome seeing Andrea on stage. To say I’m proud of her is an understatement. Part of what makes a good writer is being well rounded, and she definitely fits the bill.</p>

<p>Dealing with loss is not an easy matter, for all the self help books designed to guide you through the stages, the feelings you are bound to have many times in your life, for all the psychotherapists and the less than helpful friends who might not quite understand the depth of your emotion, they never truly seem to go anywhere near Acceptance; they cover everything else but Acceptance is the one stage in which everybody believes is just great, you have moved on and the world can turn again. </p>
<p>Acceptance though does not mean not willing to fight on, to cover new ground, you might accept that one option in life is now closed, that one particular way of living is now a book been read and shelved, but it does not mean defeat, it does not mean conquered, Acceptance is a gateway to even greater things, moments of purity, of unrequited love and the slaying of the beige and the unadorned, Acceptance is another stage in The Love Dimension’s way of living. </p>
<p>The new five track E.P. by The Love Dimension is one that sends out good vibes, the feeling of contentment in a world drowning at times in sorrow of its own making, of taking stock after the fight but knowing the war is not yet over, there are just too many people making trouble for the sake of their own petty insecurities to ever rest, Acceptance is knowing that you cannot change the world, that you cannot alter everybody’s narrow point of view, yet it does not stop you from trying. </p>
<p>The Love Dimension have once more explored the infinite and come up with a set of songs that celebrate life and see through its dark passages, an exploration that gets the point of existence and whilst not conquering it, asks the question of why so many see the road as impassable, full of pot holes when all they have to do is look to the verge and plough on in safe knowledge they are making progress. </p>
<p>In the tracks I’ll Find A Way, the excellent Hey Wall Street Man, Would You Be Willing, The Cat Is Out and On And On, The Love Dimension once again vanquish the slave of monotony and offer a special kind of freedom to the listener, freedom to explore beyond Acceptance, it is a special kind of deal. </p>

<p>Coming from the Golden State to rock out the Lowbrow Palace on April 16 are Vanessa Silberman and The Love Dimension. </p>
<p>An L.A.-based singer-songwriter and guitarist, Silberman has her own independent label, A Diamond Heart Production, and has been compared to bands ranging from Nirvana to Patti Smith. The Love Dimension hails from San Francisco, a perfect setting to match their psychedelic sound that blends the musical essence of the ’60s and ’90s. </p>
<p>Cool plot twist – what initially started off as an interview with Silberman and The Love Dimension’s Jimmy Dias turned into an opportunity for me to play bass for them at their upcoming Lowbrow show. I was over the moon, to be honest!</p>
<p>I got to know them a little over the phone before their trip to the Sun City. We talked about going solo, some of their songs and what it’s like to perform together. </p>
<p>Q. Vanessa, what pushed you to leave your former band, Diamonds under Fire? </p>
<p>Vanessa: Diamonds under Fire was essentially my band and I had different players over the years. I had been using the band’s name and identity for about 12 or 13 years and so much had developed over time. </p>
<p>When I was recording the last EP, I felt like I was never going to get that “perfect” band and I decided that I just wanted to go solo, look at things completely different, and collaborate with different people. </p>
<p>Q. What’s the story behind your recent single, “Hide Your Love Away”? </p>
<p>Vanessa: When I wrote this song, I was wanting to record it in a very organic, raw way, but with a pop, ’60s kind of feel. Almost like Sonny and Cher or The Mamas and The Papas. It’s kind of a love song about being in a relationship but not being able to express what you want. </p>
<p>I just wanted to try something extremely different from Diamonds under Fire, which was more alternative/grunge. </p>
<p>Q. Jimmy, what is your debut single, “When Soul Love Begins,” about? </p>
<p>Jimmy: That song is about connecting at a soul level or deeper level than where we are as humans … to see the bigger picture instead of being divided by different egos or deeming what’s bad or good. </p>
<p>Q. Has any of your music been featured in any movies or TV shows? </p>
<p>Jimmy: We had a song (“Had Enough”) that was recently featured in David Duchovny’s “Aquarius,” a show that was set in the ’60s. </p>
<p>Vanessa: Diamonds under Fire had songs featured on some MTV kind of shows and some indie films. It’s my dream to be in a movie theater and hear a song in a big blockbuster movie. </p>
<p>Q. How has it been performing together? </p>
<p>Vanessa: It’s really cool! It’s such an amazing thing when you’re able to get people on the same page. My hope is that other artists can see this as an example to build community and help others during their performances. </p>
<p>Jimmy: It’s interesting playing with different musicians and seeing how the sound changes, whether it’s playing with Vanessa, playing with people in The Love Dimension, or other musicians. I have to kind of calibrate myself to work with the other’s style. </p>
<p>It’s been good, especially for the older material that I was starting to get kind of bored with. Playing with different people, I’m like, “Oh, that sounds cool that way.”</p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/46639282017-04-04T08:00:00-07:002017-04-08T22:53:43-07:00Cesareo’s pick<p><a contents="http://www.bakersfield.com/entertainment/music/cesareo-garasa-looking-for-her-big-break/article_1323adb6-c333-5144-bbde-40c65b84df12.html" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.bakersfield.com/entertainment/music/cesareo-garasa-looking-for-her-big-break/article_1323adb6-c333-5144-bbde-40c65b84df12.html" style="" target="_blank">http://www.bakersfield.com/entertainment/music/cesareo-garasa-looking-for-her-big-break/article_1323adb6-c333-5144-bbde-40c65b84df12.html</a><br><br>By CESAREO GARASA For The Californian<br><br>Cesareo’s pick </p>

<p>The Love Dimension is a psychedelic rock band based out of San Fransisco that sounds like they came straight out of the summer of love.

<p>San Francisco groovy psychedelia revivalists The Love Dimension will release a new EP March 30. Acceptance is five tracks reminiscent of The Doors, The Mamas and the Papas and a bit of Jefferson Airplane. The band, led by frontman Jimmy L. Dias, will perform its new material March 30 at a record release show at Rickshaw Stop, and have several Southern California shows this week leading up to the big reveal. </p>
<p>The Love Dimension in concert </p>
<p>Wednesday – 8 p.m. – 21+ <br>Silverlake Lounge in L.A. $10. </p>
<p>Friday <br>Liquid Earth Gathering fest (Pioneertown) $80-$120. </p>
<p>Friday – 8 p.m. – 21+ <br>Velvet Jones in Santa Barbara $10. </p>
<p>8 p.m., Thursday, March 30 <br>Rickshaw Stop w/ Joshua Cook and The Key of Now <br>Tickets: $10. </p>
<p>To Dias, the name of the new record is about the acceptance of death, and that’s the central theme that courses through the songs. </p>
<p>“We all avoid that reality,” he said. “We like to think there is always tomorrow, but you never know. As I get older, it has become more and more important to me to enjoy each moment as much as possible.” </p>
<p>If that is too grim, understand that the theme rides just below the surface. Listeners can focus on “acceptance” rather than the death. </p>
<p>“You can’t change the past, but you can make a new choice in the present now,” Dias said. “So accept what is. If you like it, cool. If not, make a new choice and move in a different direction.” </p>
<p>The EP begins with the driving, hypnotic “I’ll Find A Way,” a la Golden Earring’s 1973 track “Radar Love,” before transitioning to the more straight-forward psychedelia, with strains of Americana, on “Hey Wall Street Man.” Dias said that a few years ago, he considered trying to make some money on the side by trading stocks and options. Rather than coming up with an avenue to fund his own music, he lost a lot of cash. Learning to get over it and move on plays into the theme of the record. The titular character he sings to on the song is not any one person, but rather the powers that be that seemingly control other peoples’ lives. </p>
<p>“I’m not judging anyone and saying anything is good or bad [because] that would be too much of a generalization,” he said. [Money] is a tool that can be used for whatever purpose and intention the person with it has. It just makes you more of what you already are.” </p>
<p>The Love Dimension performs in numerous configurations, from Dias by himself to many more. Dozens of Bay Area musicians have performed with Dias over the years. For the EP, the frontman recorded with singer-percussionist Celeste Obomsawin, singer-keyboardist Devin Farney, drummer Sonny Pearce, bassist Tommy Anderson and guitarist Kyle DeMartini. While the SoCal shows will be performed as a quartet, the Rickshaw Stop concert will be performed as a seven-piece band. Dias said he’s also working on a new full-length album, which has continued there trend of blending The Love Dimension’s ’60s sound with more modern influences from the ’90s, like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth and The Pixies.</p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/46092682017-02-27T09:35:00-08:002017-02-28T11:53:01-08:00POW Magazine Reviews New EP by The Love Dimension - “Acceptance”<p><a contents="http://www.powmagazine.org/music-reviews/pow-magazine-reviews-new-ep-by-the-love-dimension-acceptance/" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.powmagazine.org/music-reviews/pow-magazine-reviews-new-ep-by-the-love-dimension-acceptance/" target="_blank">http://www.powmagazine.org/music-reviews/pow-magazine-reviews-new-ep-by-the-love-dimension-acceptance/</a><br><br>For nearly a decade, The Love Dimension has been a part of the San Francisco music scene. Known for having a unique and amorphous lineup, The Love Dimension defines themselves as a musical collective and has featured as many as 80 musicians throughout their existence. Every evolution brings new variants to the group’s sound, making for a diverse discography that can’t be placed into any one genre. This March sees the release of Acceptance, a new 5-track EP that showcases The Love Dimension’s wide range of influences and musical abilities. </p>
<p>Acceptance opens with “I’ll Find A Way”, a tight, bass-throbbing track with hints of 70’s prog-rock, 90’s stoner rock, and 60’s psychedelia, combined in a way that sounds modern and new. The musicianship on this track is water-tight, with grandiose builds and wild guitar licks layered over the ultra-heavy foundation laid by the bass and drums. The following track, “Hey Wall Street Man”, is a fun, rock n roll romp with a bluesy progression that’ll get dance floors moving. “Would You Be Willing” and “The Cat Is Out” are both steeped in 60s influences- “Would You Be Willing” features poppy, garage-psych with catchy hooks and melodic basslines; “The Cat is Out” relaxes the sound into a laid-back 60s jam session, tinged with psychedelia. </p>
<p>The EP’s closing track, “On and On”, has a track length as long as nearly all the other tracks combined, clocking in at just over 12 minutes. The track builds slowly, but throughout its duration travels through a vast landscape of varying tempos and sounds, ranging from ethereal to manic. It’s a wild trip that reflects the musical collective that defines The Love Dimension. </p>
<p>Acceptance will be officially released March 30th, 2017 at The Love Dimension’s show at Rickshaw Stop in SF, and will be concurrently available for purchase online via the band’s website. </p>

<p>The Love Dimension gave an energetic, get-down of a performance supporting Big Brother and The Holding Company at Oakland's The Uptown on Friday. </p>
<p>The local, groovy musical collective rip-roared through original psychedelic rock and roll tunes, getting the crowd jumping, before Big Brother and The Holding Company blues-rocked the rest of the night away, with a wail-worthy performance from lead singer, Darby Gould. </p>
<p>If you're unfamiliar with Big Brother, check out the 1968 album, Cheap Thrills and prepare to have your rocks blown clean off.</p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/45465352017-01-11T06:30:00-08:002017-01-11T15:15:30-08:00Interview with Riff Magazine<p><a contents="http://www.riffmagazine.com/qa/thelovedimension-healing/?platform=hootsuite" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.riffmagazine.com/qa/thelovedimension-healing/?platform=hootsuite" target="_blank">http://www.riffmagazine.com/qa/thelovedimension-healing/?platform=hootsuite</a></p>
<p>Sly and the Family Stone, The Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane are just a few of San Francisco’s storied purveyors of psychedelia. Following in their footsteps seems like a rite of passage for many locals acts, but The Love Dimension is determined to carry on the celebrated tradition. </p>
<p>The psychedelic band was founded by frontman Jimmy L. Dias in 2009 and while it has been somewhat of a revolving door of contributors, Dias has remained a constant driving force. RIFF caught up with him to discuss the band’s origins, its current roster and Dias’ plans for its future. </p>
<p>Big Brother and the Holding Company, The Love Dimension <br>8 p.m., Friday <br>The Uptown, Oakland <br>Tickets: $20-$25. </p>
<p>RIFF: Before you started The Love Dimension, you described yourself as a “healer.” What did you mean by that? </p>
<p>Dias: Well, when I first moved out to California from the East Coast, I was studying the healing arts, like hypnotherapy, studying with different shamans and healers. I actually still do some sessions with people. </p>
<p>How did that lead into your career in music? </p>
<p>I was doing music before, in Boston, for a long time. But when I moved out to the West Coast I kind of gave up on music. I sold all of my gear. I said “I’m done. I don’t want to do this anymore.” In one of my hypnotherapy classes … there was this one guy who went up and he was doing this dreamwork. Basically, the message that that guy was getting was, like, he didn’t want to work for his dad’s company. His dad had a construction company and he was like, “I don’t want to do this, I want to do music.” I just remember watching him being, like, “Hey, I want to do music too!” I remember it felt like a boomerang hit me in the back of the head. So after that I started over. I started with the acoustic guitar and then I started writing songs and many of those songs ended up becoming songs for The Love Dimension. </p>
<p>Did your experience in mystical healing influence the direction you selected for The Love Dimension, or did you already have an interest in psychedelia? </p>
<p>Doing some of the healing work, what you’re doing is working in an altered state of consciousness, which can be a very psychedelic experience. I feel that it expanded my awareness and how I see things. It also helped me rid myself of a lot of beliefs and negative thoughts that were keeping me from doing what I wanted to do. One [thing] that I took from that was learning about hypnotic language and how that corresponds with really good songwriting. Like how [in] a really catchy song they keep repeating the chorus over and over again. It just gets into your subconsciousness and sticks in your head. So I find myself using some of those ideas when I’m writing a song. </p>
<p>You mentioned that mystical healing expanded your mind and opened your eyes. Is that what you try to do for your listeners? </p>
<p>I guess so. I really just want people to be inspired and open up themselves. The analogy I like to use a lot is “wanting to be a lighthouse.” Like, not telling people what to do, but just shine a light so other can find their way. I guess “opening people’s minds” is one way to put it. I don’t really know how to word it. To me, to be myself even more is really all I can do. I can’t do anything for anybody else. All I can do is express the music inside of me and then hopefully that inspires somebody has to go out and create in their specific way. </p>
<p>You have had several band members come and go over the years. How long has this current roster been together? </p>
<p>Well the current roster has been changing every show. There’s been a few periods of the band where we had a similar lineup for two to three years. But more recently, we’ve had stuff come up. [When I first started] I started just booking shows and I’d figure it out later. Which I did for the first Love Dimension show. I didn’t have a band yet, but I knew I wanted to play. Then about a week before show, both the drummer and bass player contacted me. So I’ll call [different people] up and put a band together. For example, we just played a small New Year’s Eve show as more of a three-piece, with just a guitar, bass and drums. Then we played at Bottom of the Hill and we had two drummers and four singers. It depends on the show.</p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/45423192017-01-02T12:00:00-08:002017-01-08T23:03:12-08:00Gone Fishkin - #031: Promise of Redemption, The Love Dimension<p><a contents="http://idobi.com/podcast/031-promise-of-redemption-the-love-dimension/" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://idobi.com/podcast/031-promise-of-redemption-the-love-dimension/" style="" target="_blank">http://idobi.com/podcast/031-promise-of-redemption-the-love-dimension/</a><br> </p>
<p>We know, we know… Gone Fishkin took a week off for the holidays, and you haven’t been the same without your regular dose of pop punk and bad jokes. Never fear, because Fish is back this week from his hometown to give you a run down on East and West coast Fishmas, “Always Be My Baby” by Mariah Carey, and recap 2016 in music. </p>
<p>First up this week, Shane from Valencia and Promise of Redemption joins the show to discuss writing again, putting out a vinyl, and using music as a type of therapy. He also talks about heading out on tour, and the MySpace days. </p>
<p>Next up, listen in to hear from The Love Dimension, a San Francisco based rockabilly collective. The group joins Gone Fishkin to play some acoustic tracks, and chat aesthetics, puns, and surfer vibes.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Interview The Love Dimension: English version [ Une leçon de psychédélisme L ]</p>
<p>If California is synonymous with sunshine and love, The Love Dimension is for you. Assuming proudly the legacy of the sixties, their music remains a hymn to joy. From shamanism to the relay between the generations, they did not hesitate to tell us about their colorful world. </p>
<p>1-How formed The Love Dimension? What do you look for in The Love Dimension? Why collectives are so numerous in psyche music? </p>
<p>The Love Dimension formed back in 2008. Its a long story but I’ll try to get to the point and cover the main events that sparked the band. I have a feeling this is going to be a long answer though. Hahaha. </p>
<p>I had given up on music after moving in 2006 from the east coast (Boston, MA) to the Bay Area (San Francisco, CA). I had sold all my guitars, drums, musical gear. I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with life. </p>
<p>At the time I was studying the healing arts (Hypnotherapy, Shamanic Healing, Energy Healing). During one of the classes while exploring some deep traumatic and personal issues, I felt like a boomerang had come back and hit me in the back of the head. That boomerang was music. I couldn’t throw it away because it was part of me, my soul’s purpose and the reason I came to have a human experience at this time in history. </p>
<p>When this realization happened, I started with buying an acoustic guitar and writing songs. Many of those songs later became songs that appeared on the Love Dimension’s first two albums « In Between Lives » and « Forget the Remember ». I decided I wanted to start a band again and kept thinking I had to find a lead singer. </p>
<p>While on a trip to Tulum, Mexico, I attended a sweat lodge facilitated by a Mayan Shaman. While going through that experience, I had many visions and more realizations. One of them was that I was the singer I had been searching for. Before the Love Dimension, I had never been able to sing and play guitar at the same time. Growing up on the east coast of the United States, I had always been in the background playing drums or bass in various punk and indie rock bands. But since my early years as a teenager, I had always been recording my own 4 track demos. I never felt confident enough to put them out there and share them with others. </p>
<p>So when I got back to California after my trip to Mexico, I began taking voice lessons and writing more songs. In the fall of 2008, I went on a spiritual retreat to Ojai, CA to visit my voice teacher’s teacher, Danny Castro (Author of the book « In That Stillness »). That trip awoke something in me and started a spiritual journey that I am still on and will probably be on for many lifetimes. </p>
<p>When I got back home and as I was about to fall sleep, I kept hearing in my head the name « The Love Dimension ». I thought it sounded cool but I was feeling like I didn’t want to get out of bed. The inner voice got louder and said « Write it down. You won’t remember it in the morning. » So I did. And now its 8 years later and the band is constantly evolving and unfolding. </p>
<p>What I look for in the Love Dimension is simply to express truth in the way I perceive it, my own personal journey of self realization and what it is like being a spiritual being having a human experience. </p>
<p>I believe that collectives are so numerous in psych music, because anyone who has ever had a psychedelic experience realizes it is all connected and it is all one. When you help others with their musical expression, you are really helping yourself and the collective consciousness. It is more about community then an individual ego or everyone for themselves. </p>
<p>2- You released your last album in June. What inspired you when you made this album? </p>
<p>My inspiration for « Freakquency Space Mind Continuum » was 60s surf music and thinking about the higher levels of awareness that artists, musicians, writers, creative people, etc are able to tap into and how they then are able to bring those thought forms into the 3D. </p>
<p>Its truly an amazing gift. If all of these beautiful souls could harness this power and come together in this higher collective mind space and create consciously, then we could change the 3D structure of this world so rapidly. </p>
<p>So many people in the world are in fear right now and focusing on the lower vibrating human emotions like anger, jealousy, etc. What you focus on expands. What you resist persists. You do have to face the fears and welcome them and then transmute them into higher frequency emotions such as gratitude, appreciation, unconditional love, courage, etc. We are electro magnetic beings. What do you want to magnetize in your energy field? You have free will. Its your choice. </p>
<p>3- When you come from San Francisco, is not there a too heavy musical heritage coming from the sixties and the seventies to assume? </p>
<p>Yes definitely. The musical heritage can be felt here for sure. It is a great inspiration for continuing on with that lineage. Its like having musical ancestors and passing on the torch from generation to generation. </p>
<p>4- What do you think of the election of Donald Trump? Does it feel like there is a real divide in the United States? </p>
<p>In general, I am not much of a political person. I usually like to not take sides. The way I see politics is like a tennis, ping pong, or sports match. It is very much based in duality and seems like a bunch of people yelling at each other and expressions opinions. If you swing the pendulum to one side, it just gains momentum to swing to the other side. There is no wrong or right. </p>
<p>With that said, I was pretty shocked with the election of Donald Trump. Its making me wonder if I somehow got myself stuck in some alternate quantum time line. It feels very surreal. And it does seem like it is causing a real divide in the U.S. I’m not sure what will happen. I do know that I am seeing a fire lit under a lot of people and motivating them to step up. It seems like this is going to spark some amazing art and music. The underground scene now has a lot of fuel for the fire. </p>
<p>When I step out of the story for a moment and do my best to see the bigger picture, I do see that Donald Trump is still in some weird way (I wish I could say this wasn’t true) a manifestation of source, great spirit, god, the universe, the oneness, whatever you want to call it. He is not separate from us. In fact at the higher levels of awareness as a collective consciousness we chose him for some crazy reason. It won’t make sense right now because we are in the middle of the story. I really do believe everything is always in divine order and happens in divine timing. Think about any event in your life. Even the bad ones. When it happened it sucked. But after some time has passed and you look back at it in retrospect, it all makes sense and you can see all the ways things lined up in miraculous ways to get you to where you are now. </p>
<p>Think of it this way. Imagine this whole thing as a theater. The watcher part of us that is just observing are the people in the theater enjoying different perspectives and angles of the same thing. The projector represents the thought forms we are projecting into 3D reality and so we witness it all unfold. You could get mad at the villain on the screen and throw your shoe at the screen. You can cry, laugh, scream, yell. Its all coming from the same projector man. If you want to see something different, you got to go the source. You gotta change the film. The film represents the inner world and inner consciousness of everyone of us. You need to look inside first and change yourself. Once you do that, you be that change like Gandhi said. Be an example of that love. Others will notice and maybe they will wake up too and change themselves. You can’t change anyone though. You can’t force it on another. Remember we have free will. Just be yourself and do the best you can. </p>
<p>5- What current bands do you feel close and which ones you like listening ? </p>
<p>I really appreciate all of the amazing bands coming out of the Bay Area right now. The Spiral Electric, Down Dirty Shake, Down and Outlaws, Everyone is Dirty, The Green Door, The Golden Hexegrams, Cellar Doors, Coywolf, Lee Gallagher and the Hallelujah, Trans Van Santos, just to name a few. </p>
<p>Some other current bands too that have really had an influence and I enjoy listening to are Temples, Tame Impala, Triptides, Sleepy Sun, The Black Angels, Primal Scream, BJM, and Elephant Stone. </p>
<p>6 – How would you define psychedelic music? Which groups who embodies the most? </p>
<p>I’m not sure there is one definition that could encompass or define psychedelic music. Its more than just about the music to me. I guess one simple aspect of it that is important is that it expands your consciousness. It helps you to get out of your limited ego mind and feel the vastness of universe. </p>
<p>There are so many groups that embody this. There’s the obvious ones like The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, etc. Then there’s bands that maybe weren’t as well known like Ultimate Spinach, Blues Magoos, Country Joe and the Fish. That’s just from 60s/70s. I think it is more about how all of these psych bands as a collective pushed boundaries and created something that inspired many bands to follow. There’s just too many bands for me to list them all. I like to think of it as an ocean with many waves that are all influencing each other. </p>
<p>7- How do you explain the psychedelic revival in recent years in the world ? Do you think bands like The Blacks Angels and The Brian Jonestown Massacre are important in this revival ? </p>
<p>My explanation for the revival would be that just like in the 60s, this is a pretty intense time and time is a spiral. Things come around again and history repeats itself. Not exactly like it did before but very similar. We have evolved as a species in some ways. In other ways things are kind of the same. Its like how there was the gold rush in San Francisco in the 1800s and now it is happening again except the new gold is the tech industry. </p>
<p>Yes I do think bands like the Black Angels and BJM are important. They have done their thing and stuck with it. They have inspired many other people to start bands and do what you love. Create from a heart space and share that it with others. What else can you really do? </p>
<p>8- The sixities psychedelia appeared in a more optimistic period than ours Can you explain this difference ? What psychedelia shows of our time? </p>
<p>I don’t know for sure that was a more optimistic time. I wasn’t there. Yes some people were able to stay in a good space and focus on creating and positive things I suppose. However, there was a lot of turmoil during that time. A lot of people probably felt like it was the end of the world so they said fuck it and decided to just live in the moment and do what they were gonna do. </p>
<p>You always hear that phrase if you can remember the 60s then you weren’t really there. I wonder if many people turned to substances during that time to help cope with that intensity and reality of what was happening in history. Seems like it is happening again. A more intense and sped up version of that similar corresponding point in the space time spiral. All the good. All the bad. Its all one and this too shall pass. </p>
<p>9- Psychedelia has always tried to provide other forms of vision or sensation, which visions or sensations that you would like to bring to your audience? </p>
<p>In the Bay Area, we have some great visual artists who help create a multi sensory experience for the various shows and events that take place. A couple of them are Mad Alchemy and White Light Prism. </p>
<p>There are other friends and promoters here who have also put together events that include food vendors, other artists who paint at the same time a band is playing, maybe some incense for the sense of smell. One event that took place in September of 2015 that really brought this all together was the « Gathering of the Tribes Festival » put on by Pow Magazine. </p>
<p>What other senses are there? I guess if there was a way to incorporate our sixth sense and higher senses, that would be pretty cool. Maybe have some psychic stuff and psychokinesis at shows where everyone just plays their instruments with their minds.

<p>The Love Dimension have released a video for their track "Surf Heart." The song comes from their latest EP release "Freakquency Mind Space Continuum." </p>
<p>The new video for the instrumental clip features archival footage of San Francisco in the 1940s and 50s. "Surf Heart is the first instrumental to be released by the Love Dimension," singer Jimmy L. Dias explained. "It is about following your heart and dreams. That may not always be easy and there might be rough waters sometimes. </p>
<p>"However, when you are present, in the zone, persistent, committed and do the work...well...then perhaps you could put yourself in a position to enjoy the ride when things in your life finally do line up and align.

<p>"When we discussed doing the music video and collaborating, she thought the song represented a celebration of the archetypal memories in San Francisco.

<p>While San Francisco’s psychedelic rock collective The Love Dimension – comprised of Jimmy L. Dias (vocals/guitar), Celeste Obomsawin (vocals/percussion/flute), Devin Farney (keyboards/vocals), Michael Summers (bass), Robinson Kuntz (drums) and Amy Jane Cronkleton (vocals) – released their newest EP Freakquency Space Mind Continuum earlier this year, we are pleased to premiere the music video for their upbeat song “Surf Heart”. Made up of vintage footage of San Francisco from the early 20th century, this video makes you feel like you’re on vacation, chasing the wild life down the streets of the big city. And by “wild life,” I – of course – mean perfectly coiffed hair, vintage cars, and crashing waves in the bay. The footage is the perfect overlay to a beautiful instrumental, a song we could easily see ourselves swaying to on a lazy beach vacation. </p>
<p>Or in our kitchen. Because that’s what’s going to happen. </p>
<p>Jimmy had a bit to say about the track and its accompanying video. </p>
<p>“Surf Heart” is the first instrumental to be released by The Love Dimension. The original title of the song was actually “House of the Heart Shaped Wave”. It is about following your heart and dreams. That may not always be easy and there might be rough waters sometimes. However, when you are present, in the zone, persistent, committed and do the work…well…then perhaps you could put yourself in a position to enjoy the ride when things in your life finally do line up and align. </p>
<p>This music video was directed and edited by Mer Zandifar of the Muse Department. This is the second video that Mer has created for the band. The first was for the song ‘True Love Comes ‘Round Again’ off the ‘Forget the Remember’ album. </p>
<p>When Mer and I discussed doing the music video and collaborating, she thought the song represented a celebration of the archetypal memories in San Francisco.

Dias </p>
<p>**NOTE: The band has also featured many other talented musicians such as Jacob Landry (guitar), Joe Miller (drums), Kevin Grapski (bass), Jeremy Walker (guitar), Ryan Erickson (bass/vocals), Eric Amerman (guitar/keys/drums), Sonny Pearce (drums), Tommy Anderson (bass), Kyle DeMartini (guitar), and Sean Carney (guitar) just to name a few. </p>

<p><br>The San Francisco-based band The Love Dimension is a musical ensemble that has gone through many different formations over the span of its history. The Psychedelic Rock band is steeped deeply in the sound of the psychedelic music produced in the 1960s. So much so that when you listen to the band’s catalog of music, you feel like you’ve immediately have been transported back in time. There is nothing like listening to the innovators of Psychedelic Rock from back in the 1960s. However, the music from The Love Dimension is as authentic as you can get…for a band that is 4 decades removed from that time period. </p>
<p>The band has gone through many different members and formations throughout the history of the group. But the band has maintained the same quality in its sound. That has to do with singer/multi-instrumentalist Jimmy Dias. Dias ensures that the sound will remain no matter who is currently in the band. </p>
<p>With that said, The Love Dimension is celebrating the release of their newest EP entitled Freakquency Space Mind Continuum. On this release, Jimmy Dias took the reins completely and created the entire album on his own. Dias added all instrumentation and vocals to every one of the 5 tracks that make up the new EP. While created by one person, Freakquency Space Mind Continuum sounds as genuine and full as anything released by an entire band of musicians. </p>
<p>Freakquency Space Mind Continuum begins with the track “Together Again”. Like much of the band’s music, the track immediately takes the listener back to the sixties. It contains just the right amount of musical inspiration from that time period. With this track, Jimmy Dias shows off his talents as a multi-dimensional musician. Every note feels as genuine as if an entire group created the track and not just one musician. For instance, the guitar parts on the track blend together to create a layered effect. That layered effect adds a lot of texture to the track. For the rest of the instrumentation, the drums and bass parts feel just as genuine as the guitar on the track. “Together Again” is one track that allows Jimmy Dias to shine as a musician. </p>
<p>The new release from The Love Dimension continues with the song “When Soul Love Begins”. The previous track features a very strong retro feel to the music. However, “When Soul Love Begins” finds Dias adding even more of a psychedelic feel to the music. Dias moves the song even further into the sound of the sixties. The biggest and most obvious psychedelic influence in the song comes from the addition of the electric sitar. The sitar and the electric guitar add just the right retro feeling to the music. The electric guitar and electric sitar compliment the lyrics that also feel rather dated. And while dated, the lyrics and music together will give fans of the sixties just a little reminder of what that time period sounded like. </p>
<p>Freakquency Space Mind Continuum continues with the instrumental track of “Surf Heart”. For “Surf Heart,” Jimmy Dias stays in the retro state of mind for yet another track. The music brings to mind surf gods like Dick Dale, The Ventures and other instrumental artists. These artists helped to shape the style of “Surf Heart”. Although there is that influence in the music, Dias creates a song that stays away from copying any specific playing style. Because of that, the surf rock on the song is unmistakable as to the style of the music. However, the track is not too overly influenced by any one particular entity. </p>
<p>The next track of “Get Real Wild” finds the music gaining a lot more of a groove. The track ends up being that track on the release to get up and dance to. “Get Real Wild” would have been easily featured on any of the dance shows back in the 60s had it existed back then. The song then transforms into a more acoustic version of itself as “It Could Be a While.” The additional minute and a half continues the song before bringing the EP to a close. </p>
<p>The Love Dimension’s Freakquency Space Mind Continuum once again shows off the talents of Jimmy Dias. Even more so this time ‘round as he created the 5-track release himself. Every musical element on the release came from one individual musician. The newest release from The Love Dimension proves itself to be solid from the first note up to the final note.</p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/42963882016-07-26T10:00:00-07:002020-06-30T00:06:40-07:00SIMGE Survey: Getting To Know The Love Dimension // Watch “Together Again”<p>by Mike Mehalick from 'Speak Into My Good Eye'<br><br>For the San Francisco-based artist Jimmy Dias, life has offered several callings. In duly following, Dias has found enlightenment in studying to be a shamanic healer and through music. </p>
<p>It was through the latter pursuit that Dias came to found the psych-surf musical collective, The Love Dimension. Earlier this summer, the band dropped a new EP, Freakquency Space Mind Continuum, which was led by the driving, mystical single “Together Again.” </p>
<p>To go along with a view of the video for “Together Again,” we had Dias take the SIMGE Survey to get to know him a little better. Check out the video below and keep up with more from The Love Dimension here. </p>
<p><strong>Name:</strong> Jimmy Dias <br><strong>Band: </strong>The Love Dimension <br><strong>Instrument(s):</strong> Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Drums (played all the instruments on this latest EP. However, I usually have a great group of musician friends who help record <br>and play live shows.) </p>
<p><strong>What sound(s) do you/your band make? </strong></p>
<p>A cross between late 60s psychedelic, 90s grunge and annoying instrumental elevator music. </p>
<p><strong>If you could have anything fall from the sky what would it be and why? </strong></p>
<p>A suitcase filled with plane tickets and other helpful resources so I could take the Love Dimension and all my music friends on tour around the world to places like Europe, Australia, Asia, South America and more. </p>
<p><strong>When I was a kid I used to love to… </strong></p>
<p>Play Nintendo (the original NES one) for hours and days and weeks until all my muscles (except for my hands and eyes) started to atrophy. </p>
<p><strong>An embarrassing phase in my life was when… </strong></p>
<p>Continuing to play video games every night as an adult as a way to escape my dissatisfaction with boring day jobs. Good times in a way, but wish I had spent all that time mastering the guitar, drums or a musical instrument. </p>
<p><strong>The 1st album I purchased: </strong></p>
<p>Having trouble remembering my exact timelines and order of stuff with all the crazy interdimensional shifting and galactic realignment going on right now but I think it was a cassette of Beastie Boys’ License to Ill. I had some other tapes right around that time but they were copies of tapes that friends made for me of Nevermind and Surfer Rosa. </p>
<p><strong>The last album I purchased: </strong></p>
<p>The Doors – Live at the Bowl 68 on vinyl. </p>
<p><strong>My biggest insecurity: </strong></p>
<p>When I am not wearing my glasses I get awkward in public because people’s faces are blurry and I can’t tell if they are looking at me or if it is someone I know and maybe they’ll think I am ignoring them because I don’t know it is them. </p>
<p>If anyone out there wants to gift me a few thousand dollars maybe I could get Lasik surgery. </p>
<p><strong>You can easily win me over by… </strong></p>
<p>Buying me a slice of pizza and a bucket of peanut butter cups. </p>
<p><strong>Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed or stressed </strong><br><br>I listen to chakra balancing music on youtube because it’s calming and relaxing and it puts me into a trance. </p>
<p><strong>After a show people compliment me most on my… </strong></p>
<p>Outfit. Come on people, Am I really that bad of a musician that all you notice is the clothes I am wearing. Guess I need to practice more and dress down. </p>
<p><strong>Something most people don’t know about me is… </strong></p>
<p>I am also a healer and have studied with various shamans, healers and spiritual teachers over the past 10 years. It has been helpful with music as there is a lot of energy moving back and forth from the band to the audience at shows. </p>
<p><strong>The band (artist) that altered my perception on life is</strong><br><br>Nirvana because it inspired me to start playing drums (my first instrument) and writing songs. I had never heard anything like that before. It really struck a chord inside of me that hasn’t stopped buzzing since. It opened up the doors for me to explore all kinds of indie and punk rock music. </p>
<p>What a cool experience it would be to relive the first time you heard a certain album or song. Musical mystical magic. </p>
<p><strong>If not for music I would probably… </strong></p>
<p>Have left this physical body and transferred my consciousness into a vehicle that would allow me to create and share music.</p>
<p><strong>What are your favorite song lyrics? </strong></p>
<p>I was trying to think of a cool answer for this one and the words that kept popping into my head were: </p>
<p>“Row, row, row your boat <br>gently down the stream <br>Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily <br>Life is but a dream” </p>
<p>At first, I was resisting that and thinking I can’t write that. Then when I sat with it and realized the simplicity and wisdom that is embedded in those words, I detached and allowed it to be. It really hits the point of the impermanence of everything and going with the flow and enjoying life while you are here in this 3D reality hologram. </p>
<p>It’s tough times right now but if you keep your vibration and frequency high instead of lowering it into fear, then eventually the snowball will gain enough momentum and the enlightenment of humanity and the golden age will flourish. </p>
<p>Thank you so much to SIMGE for spreading the word about the Love Dimension and to everyone reading this. I wish you many blessings and good fortune. And when you have a moment please send out some thought forms into the ethers so TLD can magnetize and manifest coming to play our music live in a town near you! </p>

<p>The ghost of San Francisco past looms large these days. Our beautiful city is caught in the midst of an identity crisis — it seems, at times, in danger of coming apart at the seams. That's why The Love Dimension's latest EP, Freakquency Space Mind Continuum, feels like such a nice surprise. It's a short, sweet, delightfully fun listen, a summery, surf-y, psychedelic revision of a time when life in San Francisco wasn't so complicated. </p>
<p>"Short and sweet" are the key words here: The EP is barely 15 minutes long. But that's OK: The tunes are so catchy and easy on the ears they encourage repeat listens. </p>
<p>The EP opens with "Together Again," its best and most memorable tune. It's a blast to listen to, a fun, playful, psychedelic pop ditty featuring stick-in-your-head, surf-inspired guitar licks, perfectly retro harmonized vocals, and simple, sing-along lyrics. </p>
<p>"When Soul Love Begins" sounds like a classic garage rock tune. "Surf Heart," much as its name implies, owes its existence to Dick Dale. "Get Real Wild" and "It Could Be Awhile," a song in two parts, is my least favorite on the EP, but it's still remarkably catchy, to its credit. </p>
<p>Fuzzy, hazy, lo-fi production is the rug that really ties the room together. You won't find any new ground broken on Freakquency, but sometimes unabashed nostalgia is all you need.<br><br>By Chris Zaldua<br><br><a contents="http://www.sfweekly.com/sanfrancisco/top-five-parties-this-week-plus-notable-local-records-bread-deadboy-dbm-murlo-keysound-recordings-blackdown-bezier-robert-yang-honey/Content?oid=4801659" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.sfweekly.com/sanfrancisco/top-five-parties-this-week-plus-notable-local-records-bread-deadboy-dbm-murlo-keysound-recordings-blackdown-bezier-robert-yang-honey/Content?oid=4801659" target="_blank">http://www.sfweekly.com/sanfrancisco/top-five-parties-this-week-plus-notable-local-records-bread-deadboy-dbm-murlo-keysound-recordings-blackdown-bezier-robert-yang-honey/Content?oid=4801659</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/42811712016-07-15T15:00:00-07:002016-07-15T18:22:22-07:00The Vinyl District Video Premiere: The Love Dimension, “Together Again”<p>“I asked Matt Robeson from White Light Prism if he could make a video that combined surf themes with sacred geometry. What he created for ‘Together Again’ captured all of this and more. I really wanted something that captured that fun summer time feel but also had a spiritual side to it. The video is dizzying, hypnotic, and captivating. You can watch it over and over again and notice something different each time. This is the second video he has done for us. The first was for our song ‘The Lighthouse of Your Mind.’ Great stuff! Looking forward to working on future videos with him.” —Jimmy L. Dias </p>
<p>Just in time for the heat of summer, we’re pleased to premiere The Love Dimension’s new video for their track “Together Again.” </p>
<p>The Love Dimension, a psychedelic rock and roll group from San Francisco, take you on a magical surf ride with their smooth vocals and crashing beats. Founded by Jimmy L. Dias—who was training to be a shamanic healer only to find himself called back to music in 2009—The Love Dimension was assembled with a myriad of talented musicians along the way. </p>
<p>“Together Again” has a message of unity is the perfect soundtrack for this scorching summer season. The video delivers the same vibe with its trippy flashes of beaches, bringing to mind the hot sand between your toes, the sun on your shoulders, and the sound of waves crashing around you. Images of silhouetted beach bums gathered on the sand imprint themselves, as twirling geometric shapes take to the forefront. It’s so bright, after watching it you’ll feel like you were staring at the sun. </p>
<p>“Together Again” is taken from The Love Dimension’s latest EP, released just last month, “Freakquency Space Mind Continuum.”</p>

'Freakquency Space Mind Continuum' by The Love DimensionFrom...http://www.songwritingmagazine.co.uk/news/exclusive-freakquency-space-mind-continuum-by-the-love-dimension/32083<p><br>We take trip to the freakier side for this week’s second exclusive, in the company of psychedelic revivalists The Love Dimension </p>
<p>Our second exclusive of the week is another full EP – and a treat for lovers of freakbeat and psychedelia, as San Francisco’s “psychedelic garage punk country surf” collective The Love Dimension kindly allow Songwriting to bring you the world premiere of their new EP Freakquency Space Mind Continuum. </p>
<p>Here’s what The Love Dimension tell us about themselves: “Resonating with the consciousness expanding goals of the 60s psychedelic movement, The Love Dimension creates sonic architecture for the benefit of all sentient beings across the multiverse. A musical vision that reflects the personal journey of band founder Jimmy L. Dias, who was on the path to becoming a shamanic healer when his own experiences of healing called him back to music.” </p>
<p>And here’s what Mr Dias has to say about the EP: “This EP originally was just meant to be some solo demos. I hadn’t recorded on my own, playing all the instruments, since before the Love Dimension started back in 2008, but it was a really fun process recording with Tomas Dolas at Lolipop Studios. He’s a great producer and had many helpful suggestions to make the songs better than I originally envisioned. We recorded and mixed the EP in less than three days, and it turned out so well that I decided to release it. It was a good way to get some new music out there to hold people over while we shop around some unreleased recordings we’re currently sitting on. </p>
<p>“The concept behind the title of Freakquency Space Mind Continuum is about interconnectedness at a universal mind level. But with emphasis on all the freaks, artists, musicians, creative people our there who have the ability to tap into those higher dimensions of consciousness and help manifest and reflect beauty into this 3D physical holographic world that we find ourselves in.” </p>

<p>California in the 1960s is synonymous with bands like The Beach Boys, Dick Dale, and others. The Love Dimension are cut from the same cloth just five decades later. Surviving the Golden Age is excited to premiere the group’s latest single “Together Again,” a song which could have easily been a recently unearthed Turtles recording from the 60s. With the surf guitar and the tight vocal harmonies, “Together Again” is a veritable travel through time and space. Enjoy the ride. </p>
<p>The track will appear on The Love Dimension’s new EP Freakquency Space Mind Continuum will be released June 10th.</p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/42264722016-05-31T10:00:00-07:002016-06-12T16:11:32-07:00The Matinee May 31stFrom...<p>http://therevue.ca/2016/05/31/the-matinee-may-31st/</p>

<p>The Matinee May 31st is another extended one, featuring 9 new songs because two of them are inseparable. From New Zealand to Denmark, Australia to France, England to the USA, we have some pretty great new songs to start your day.</p>
<p>RIYL: Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Futurebirds </p>
<p>“Zoom!”, those are the words that I often holler when hearing a psychedelic rock song that blisters with the delirious energy of Brian Jonestown Massacre, which is exactly what San Francisco trio The Love Dimension have crafted with “When Soul Love Begins”. Sure, the song has the familiar, twangy guitar line and the dizzying, kaleidoscope sound, but the sense of urgency that Jimmy Dias, Celeste Obomsawin, and Devin Farney have added brings the song to a feverish level.</p>

<p><strong>The Love Dimension, Freakquency Space Mind Continuum. Album Review.</strong><br><em>Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10 </em></p>
<p>Forget that Time and space exists within one of the dimensions that humanity is trapped within, the finest dimension beyond those that only travellers with a mad man with a blue box can discover is that of The Love Dimension; after they truly so speak volumes to the adoring nature of music fans and those to whom the straight jacketed bombastic look down upon as freaks and peculiar. Yet each one who gravitates towards the unusual, who are attracted to the uncommon are normally rewarded with a trip into the fantastic and extraordinary. </p>
<p>The band’s latest E.P., Freakquency Space Mind Continuum is one that hugs the extraordinary, that hums along to a different tune and allows the listener to breathe in the sparkle of imagination as if in a way they were witnessing the first moments of clear and unhindered belief to run through the course of history. </p>
<p>It is clear that the E.P. finds its own channel to furrow and one that isn’t held back by the often meanderings of the frustratingly bored or blinkered, it alludes to the burgeoning scene of the 60s and the great renaissance of the time but also there is more circling underneath, more ravenous than a tiger shark smacking its lips at the thought of an unexpected free lunch. It is the hunger to entertain and enlighten that carries the music forward and the listener, in all their glory, is able to feast at the same table and take the biggest bite they can. </p>
<p>The five track E.P., Together Again, When Soul Love Begins, Surf Heart, Get Real Wild and It Could Be A While gel so well that the space in between the tracks almost disappears, as if by design or the cosmic force at hand, they blend together giving an almost surreal concept to the piece and whilst each track is unerringly different, like the strangeness that runs through early Pink Floyd, the entangled dream in which the artist envisions is true and captivating. </p>
<p>Forget the four dimensions, forget for a while that you are hurtling through space at a speed that is ridiculous and beautiful, the Love Dimension have the time for you to spend in blissful repose. </p>

<p>San Francisco musical collective The Love Dimension have released their new single “When Soul Love Begins.” </p>
<p>The psychedelic track is the first release off of the upcoming EP Freakquency Space Mind Continuum, due out June 10th. </p>
<p>The Love Dimension founder Jimmy L. Dias, had this to say about “When Soul Love Begins”: </p>
<p>‘When Soul Love Begins’ is about duality and unconditional love. For there to be dark there must also be light. When you swing the pendulum one way, it eventually gathers up energy so it can come back to the other side and balance things out. When we expand beyond that duality and separation into the oneness, we come to the realization that there is only unconditional love. From that space we see how it is all included…every experience, every being, every life, etc. The song is about no matter what is happening in your life and how challenging it may feel in the moment, that things will turn out ok when you make that inner shift in the present and focus on what is most important. The mystery, the energy, the stream that runs through us and all things doesn’t judge. It doesn’t say you are wrong or right or good or bad. It just is. We can be that too when we choose to attune ourselves to that frequency. We can flow with it or we can fight it and try to swim up stream so our ego and mind feels like it accomplished something. It is all in our choices and what we decide to bring our awareness and attention to.</p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/41971172016-05-23T13:00:00-07:002016-06-12T16:18:22-07:00PREMIERE: "When Soul Love Begins" on PureVolumeCheck out our new single!<br> <p>http://www.purevolume.com/news/PREMIERE-The-Love-Dimension-When-Soul-Love-Begins</p>
<p>With the city's tech boom of the past half decade, San Francisco's swinging '60s psychedelic rock scene, and recently, indie rock scene are steadily becoming things of the past. In the case of psych rock, that movement may be in history's rearview mirror, but the Love Dimension are making isn't doesn't fade away. The collective's mission statement is to "create sonic architecture for the benefit of all sentient beings across the multi-verse.” The Love Dimension reflects the personal journey of founder Jimmy L. Dias, who was on the path to becoming a shamanic healer before his experiences of healing were what brought him back to making music. He chose wisely, which you can hear on the band's trippy new single “When Soul Love Begins.” Sounding more 1966 than 2016, the song is a terrific reminder how vibrant the San Francisco sound once was with its kaleidoscopic aura. </p>
<p>"Well its about duality and unconditional love. For there to be dark there must also be light," the band says of the tune. When you swing the pendulum one way, it eventually gathers up energy so it can come back to the other side and balance things out. When we expand beyond that duality and separation into the oneness, we come to the realization that there is only unconditional love. From that space we see how it is all included...every experience, every being, every life, etc. </p>
<p>"The song is about no matter what is happening in your life and how challenging it may feel in the moment, that things will turn out ok when you make that inner shift in the present and focus on what is most important.

The band creates a sound that includes many different genres of rock and roll including straight-out rock, psychedelic rock, surf rock, even a little garage rock. The band’s many different influences create a solid sound that borrows from many different sounds but still sounds very cohesive…and just a little dated as the band’s sound feels like it could have fit in with the bands that were around at the time of Woodstock and just a little bit after that, as well…<a contents="Read More" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://rockandrollreport.com/cd-review-the-love-dimension-create-and-consume/" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39797042015-01-22T08:05:00-08:002016-01-07T20:02:29-08:00Joel Gion & the Primary Colours The Love Dimension Cellar Doors and Down Dirty Shake Play The Independent-1/22<p>On January 22nd, The Independent will be hosting a psychedelic music showcase featuring Brian Jonestown Massacre's charismatic percussion extraordinaire, Joel Gion and his band The Primary Colours, San Francisco's premiere psych revivalist band, The Love Dimension, psych pop/post punk band, Cellar Doors and psych soul band, Down Dirty Shake. You don't see too many full local line ups play The Independent, so do your best to attend to ensure these bands have a successful show. The more we help local bands fill larger venues, the more the venues will be inclined to give Bay Area bands a chance to shine. </p>

<p>Drenched in the liquid light art of White Light Prism, Gion and his backing band -- relatively new in the neo-psych world which Gion helped pioneer -- will use their familiar blend of 1960s rock and roll and post punk to move the Divisadero Street music house along with a solid local lineup. Filling out the night with psych sounds of all flavors, San Francisco's psychedelic pop tripod Cellar Doors, the psych-soul rock and rollers of Down Dirty Shake, and the hip-swaying country psych shamans of The Love Dimension will join The Primary Colours for a night of astral surfing and sonic meditations. Bust out those diffraction glasses and get ready to get dizzy.

There is an icey tingle infused by the warmth of the Californian sun as the West Coast melody kicks in. Thereafter, this opening track (the beginning of ‘Side X’), ‘And So Love Begins’, takes you on a trip, not only around the emotions, but around the many a varied influences of the San Franciscan five piece. There’s a whole lot of Love in there, there are the same sixties guitar licks that inspired The Buzzcocks in the late seventies, surely some Jefferson Airplane, and there is some surefire Doors keyboard in there too. <a contents="Read More" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://backseatmafia.com/2014/12/16/psych-insight-album-review-create-and-consume-by-the-love-dimension/" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39797172014-12-14T20:10:00-08:002016-01-07T20:08:43-08:00The Love Dimension, Create And Consume. Album Review<p>In the blink of an eye a life can change. In the time it takes to hear an album by a band foraging their way carefully through the Californian minefield of abundant music, you are already finding your thoughts focused on making sure you get on a plane sometime soon, taking a trundle down any of the side streets of San Francisco and hoping that you will bump into a band member or two and clasping them firmly by the hand and without a second thought for so called British reserve; telling them that you love them so much that you want to re-start the psychedelic revolution with them. <a contents="Read More" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.liverpoolsoundandvision.co.uk/2014/12/05/the-love-dimension-create-and-consume-album-review/" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39797182014-11-20T10:10:00-08:002016-01-07T20:11:34-08:00XO for the Holidays<p>The first of those annual freebies we all look forward to every year has arrived!

I had attended last month's event and was excited to be able to catch the next edition. As you may recall, the event is in the spirit of a '70s club scene in Berlin. The routine was much the same as the last event with a slate of bands bolstered by special lighting (Kelly Porter), effects (Andy Puls), custom art (Meg Adamson), and boutiques (The Power Plant and Empress Vintage). I caught up with Kelly, who'd managed Hedersleben's lights last time and has expanded to general band support. He pointed me at Jason Willer, Hedersleben's drummer and ringleader of the Art Void collective. We had a brief chat as things kicked off and he left me with a generous gift of the hand-numbered posters produced for the events. I am going to have to admit that I was not in prime listening form on this particular evening. I'd enjoyed an aggressive bike ride earlier in the day and I was frankly, exhausted. I also had company, of the distracting variety. So, good for me, bad for the review. The Love Dimension (bandcamp) kicked off the festivities. Lots of instruments fun sound. Solidly psychedelic. Bassist was out of control good. The bands whole vibe worked well. White Manna (bandcamp) was drone guitar assault. Quality sound and I'd probably have more to say, but the weariness of the day and hypnotic tunes washed the brain away. <a contents="Read More" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.thesacredandtheprofane.com/?p=156" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39680282014-07-18T17:55:00-07:002018-12-21T10:33:15-08:00Record release show at the Chapel<p>Our record release show is confirmed for Sept. 4th at the Chapel in San Francisco, CA.

This San Francisco based veteran band has recorded and shared a heavier track that pulls from psych folk, surf and garage rock influences. The Love Dimension is usually a straight shooter when it comes to dolling out a classic 60s rock sound, but Got Gratitude is a fast paced, danceable track that would invoke movement and shaking within the most comatose spirit. We're a big fan of The Love Dimension, and we're excited to premiere this song! Look out for a full length album from this local, staple of a band later this year. They've done such a great job of being diverse and positive with their songs and releases over the years, we're always into giving them a nod. You can see TLD perform live at the Haight Ashbury Street Fair this Sunday on the Masonic Stage at 2 pm. Don't miss their show!!! <a contents="Read More" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://sf.thedelimagazine.com/18091/premiere-love-dimension-got-gratitude" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39680302014-05-10T15:30:00-07:002015-12-27T17:51:04-08:00New Album Coming Soon.<p>Our new album is very close to being released.

A super group of sorts, Mark Matos & Os Beaches features some of the Bay Area's premiere musicians, including Jeff Davies of Brian Jonestown Massacre and Josh Pollock of Acid Mothers Gong. Together, with a revolving door policy on band members, they create Mark's imaginitive psychedelic folk sound, infusing it with San Francisco's rock and roll history and the sandy textures of the desert rock. For this special performance, both a homecoming and farewell show, Mark Matos will be accompanied by an all-star Os Beaches lineup featuring Roger Reidlebauerm, Dave Mihaly, Annie Girl, Peter Case guitarist Dave Glasebrook and Anna Jo. Also on the bill is The Love Dimension and Mexico City's The Risin' Sun with special guest Michael Musika, and the projection master behind Mad Alchemy, who will be completing the sensory experience of the night with one of his signature liquid light shows. The Love Dimension is a positive free love-centric powerhouse of a band. Drawing directly from the influential Woodstock '69 era, they create full and dance worthy soundscapes. Don't miss out on this energetic and groovy ensemble. Mexico based psycobilly band, The Risin' Sun will travel north to Cali just to play this legendary show. Their dank, lofi '60s sound will blend perfectly with this powerful line up. Make sure you make it to Rickshaw Stop to witness the end of a Bay Area era. <a contents="Read More" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://sf.thedelimagazine.com/17274/mark-matos-os-beaches-plays-farewell-show-love-dimension-and-risin-sun" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39797692014-01-29T08:50:00-08:002016-01-07T20:47:02-08:00Lee Gallagher and the Hallelujah The Love Dimension Down and Outlaws and The Spiral Electric Play the Elbo Room TONIGHT<p>With Lee Gallagher of Lee Gallagher and the Hallelujah on vocals, guitar and harmonica, Jacob Landry on Guitar and Joe Miller on Drums, create a dynamic and comfortable sound as they incorporate folk and traditional music into psych-rock, but are also straightforward, commanding and urgent in what they have to say. Gallagher's tall, enigmatic presence, excellent songwriting ability and perfectly high-pitched vocals are guaranteed to garner attention. While The Hallelujah's sound can have an acoustic folk influence as well as modern psych, they are sure to be a promising act to go see and listen to in the coming year. The Love Dimension has been rocking clubs here in the Bay Area for the better part of six years. Led by the powerful vocal duo of Jimmy Dias and Celeste Obamsawin, the group is rounded out by one of the scene's most respected and best rhythm sections, Sonny Pearce (Electric Shepherd) on drums and Tommy Anderson (MoonFox, Electric Shepherd) on bass, along with Devon Farney on Keys. Described as "sacred psychedelic country garage punk country surf," they are a live force not to be reckoned with, rhythmically intense, with a heavy dose of spirituality and introspection both lyrically and in their performances. Led by Clay Andrews, one of the local rock scene's strongest advocates, The Spiral Electric has been recording together since 2010, and premiered live in 2012. The band quickly evolved into a five-piece, and their current lineup of Andrews and Percy along with Sonny Pearce on Drums and Ty Gerhardt on Bass, has played to captive audiences at venues such as The Chapel, Brick and Mortar and Oakland's Uptown. The Spiral Electric has toured the US West Coast of recent and they are currently recording their first full length LP. Down and Outlaws have a perspective on rock n' roll that rings true: "Rock n' Roll isn't a sound. It's not an attitude. It's a need, it's a fight, it's the saving grace in the wake of a broken heart or something lost." With influences that range from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club to Lynyrd Skynyrd to Tom Petty, the San Francisco based band led by Peter Danzig on Vocals, Kyle Luck on Guitar, and the "gut-busting" rhythm section of Jon Carr and Chris Danzig, aims to save their audiences with rock n' roll the same way they were saved by it. <a contents="Read More" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://sf.thedelimagazine.com/16627/lee-gallagher-and-hallelujah-love-dimension-down-and-outlaws-and-spiral-electric-play-elbo-roo" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39797802014-01-01T08:50:00-08:002016-01-07T20:48:34-08:00Trainwreck'd Society's Top 40 Songs of 2013<p>Feliz Ano Nuevo everybody, and greetings from Spain! It's long been the 1st for us over here, but for the rest of you just waking up from your up to late hangovers, and heavy thoughts of how impossible those new year resolutions you swore you were going to keep last night, I have a treat (or at least a fine distraction to check out before you "head to the gym") for all of you! Let us begin! I have never been one for "singles". I love songs! I grew to loving music in the mid to late 1990′s when the "one hit wonder"'s were rampant. Things are different now, just as they were different in the decades that precluded my time of Dog's Eye View, Eagle Eye Cherry, or Soul Asylum listening times. I understood, and still understand, the reason for "singles", in an entirely promotional sense, and I imagine the concept is still alive today. But in this age of being able to download exactly what you want, and discarding the rest, we no longer rely on clever marketing of single tracks as much as we rely on the sound a musician or band creates altogether. Yes, this is debatable, and I may be wrong, but no one can stop me from thinking this at this precise second, not even myself. What is even more strenuous on the soul is the immense amount of music that is at your fingertips these days. There is just so much to listen to, it's pretty intimidating. Maybe that is why I have never done a list of my favorite songs for a year here at Trainwreck'd Society. Like most of you out there, my "favorite song" probably changes quicker than the seasons of each year, so it seems ridiculous to try to make a list. But, this might as well be a season for change. So, I thought I would try something new, and create a list of we here at Trainwreck'd Society considered to be the best songs of 2013. In all reality, many of these songs most likely appear on albums that will very likely appear on our Top 37 1/2 Albums of 2013 list coming soon. But in this situation, we get to pay respect to some truly talented artists that may not end up in the year-end album list, but were still very amazing. Of course, on the other side of the spectrum, our favorite albums may not have a track that makes it on this list. Everything is subjective anyway, right? And if I ever stopped pussy footing around and make a year-end list longer than 37 albums, all of these artist might make the list. I guess I can't break that all things Kevin Smith addicted attitude I have had for almost twenty years. So with that being said, I am excited to present to you, Trainwreck'd Society's Top 40 Songs of 2013! Note: Artist and Song Titles that are highlighted will provide a link to any previous posts on our site featuring said artist. Enjoy! <a contents="Read More" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://trainwreckdsociety.com/2014/01/01/trainwreckd-societys-top-40-songs-of-2013-exclusive/" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39778532013-09-19T09:00:00-07:002016-01-06T22:40:00-08:00Mixing and Mastering<p>We finished mixing and mastering our new album!

Add to that list locals the Love Dimension, who, appropriate to their Summer of Love-era moniker, evoke those acts and more. The Love Dimension merges the earthy with the trippy, roadhouse stomp with lysergic expeditions — this is no one-trick pony. While drawing upon 1960s sounds for their sonic palette, the members of the Love Dimension also remember to put spunk and personality into the mix, too. <a contents="Read More" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.sfweekly.com/2013-07-03/music/the-love-dimension-show-preview/" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39797832013-05-13T08:50:00-07:002016-01-07T20:51:31-08:00The Love Dimension - Not Until All Beings Are One EP<p>Perhaps they really are the worlds first "sacred psychedelic garage punk country surf band" who play instruments ranging from "the flute to the megaphone". Perhaps they are "originally from the city of Atlantis". All these things could be fact. Most likely however, The Love Dimension is just six people coming together and having fun. The San Francisco natives don't take themselves too seriously, and this carefree approach is evident in their release, Not Until All Beings Are One. Released through London based label, Smoky Carrot Records, the four track EP is a teaser for what will hopefully be a full release later in 2013. If this is anything to go by, it'll be one to look out for. Remarkably in just under ten minutes, The Love Dimension leaves an impressive musical imprint with effortlessly lazy vocals, intertwining melodies, and lots of straight up rock n roll. The San Francisco Six Piece are Making Waves The Lighthouse in Your Mind kicks off the extended play with its jangly guitars, reminiscent of all those eighties NME C86 bands that crafted the indie pop scene, but with edge. You can tell it's the single with its pop sensibilities, and it feels like the band is holding back. Over the next 3 tracks, you realise they were. The riffs of Down the 101 are drenched in summer time blues, harking back to the simple roots of rock and roll, guitars and drums chugging furiously along like a train thundering down the tracks, or a pickup truck speeding down the highway in the scorching heat. The blending of male and female vocals is effectively put on display throughout, none more so than on Heart Full of Soul and Can You Feel Me. It's not an easy task to juggle the sounds of Johnny Cash and The Zombies, but with its psychedelic guitars and call and response verses, The Love Dimension effortlessly bridge the gap. The best was left for last. Whether they can capitalise on this moment with their first long play studio effort is in their own hands. It is another example of the tides of music slowly changing. With The Black Keys holding the torch that leads the way, rock and roll music, with all its sticky sweat and dirty six strings are on the comeback trail. The Love Dimension could be ones who are here to stay <a contents="Read More" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://soundrevuk.com/the-love-dimension-not-until-all-beings-are-one-e-p/" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39797842013-03-28T08:55:00-07:002016-01-07T20:52:54-08:0096 Hours in the SF Chronicle<p>The Love Dimension: San Francisco's rich psychedelic legacy has always exerted its influence on local bands, but few take it as seriously as the Love Dimension.

Well we can't tell you their preference for hair decoration but these guys actually are from San Francisco and this EP is made up of songs that could easily have been made in 1967 (the year Scott McKenzie had that hit) but it's not wispy flower-power nonsense. Much of this EP has more guts than that and fits in more comfortably with the freakbeat and garage scenes of the time than of wimpy student drop-outs smoking spliffs in the sun. Opening track 'The Lighthouse Of Your Mind' actually sounds that little bit more modern than the rest, but only to about 1983 and the fey jangle of the emerging British indiepop scene, albeit with an added freak out towards the end. For much of the rest we're in classic garage territory and The Love Dimension capture this sound with ease. The bluesy 'Down The 101' is like The Seeds rattling through a track at double speed. It's primal and it's authentic. 'Heart Full Of Soul' also belongs on a Nuggets collection and would have been a classic of its time (UPDATE: It was indeed a classic of its time for The Yardbirds), and the same goes for 'Can You Feel Me' which has a great riff and a more psychedelic vibe. The music here is all well worn, but sometimes things just look and feel better that way. <a contents="Read More" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://thesoundofconfusionblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/the-love-dimension-not-until-all-beings.html" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39797942013-02-24T21:05:00-08:002016-01-07T21:01:56-08:00THE LOVE DIMENSION TRIPS YOU OUT<p>What exactly does the genre "Sacred Psychedelic Garage Punk Country Surf" mean? I'm not quite sure either to be completely honest, but it's what San Francisco 6-piece, The Love Dimension, describe themselves as. Founded in 2008, the band already hit it off with tons of experience in this biz, with all the members being part of previous bands. They've already toured all of North America, participating at various music festivals like the San Frandelic Summer Fest. Composed of a shamanic healing meditation expert, Jimmy L Dias tries to channel good vibes, uplifting moods and high energy through his music. Celeste, former wrestler, provides a feminine touch to the band along with wacky instruments like the flute, the harmonica and even the megaphone (wut?). Devin Farney is the jazz performer and music teacher turned keyboardist while Sonny Pearce rocks out on the drums. The Love Dimension is also composed of a science geek, Scott Hawkins and bassist Tommy Anderson. They just dropped their new EP entitled Not Until All Beings Are One earlier this month. Trying to decipher what exactly their sound is, I came across a mix of rock music from both the past and the present, along with everything in between. Finding influences from Johnny Cash, Radiohead, Nirvana, as well as The Beatles, they have a very unique sound. A definite sensation of euphoria is present throughout each track. Picture a gritty vintage and grainy image of breezing through the dry hot summer air down a highway surrounded by nothingness or lying under the sun. That is about as close as I can get to describing their sound. Along with the release, they also filmed a new music video for the track "The Lighthouse Of Your Mind". Featuring absolutely beautiful San Fran scenery, the video is shot through the eyes of a psychedelic hippie, filled with soothing footage and a very olden feel of sunshine, happiness and good vibes. <a contents="Read More" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://indecentxposure.com/the-buzz/c5f345af114f0c27bfd0cb11ac1a4df56212cc2f/" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39778542013-02-23T08:40:00-08:002016-01-06T22:41:24-08:00The Chapel Show 777<p>Played at the Chapel last night at 777 Valencia St. in the Mission.

They obviously haven't heard a band like "The Love Dimension" and many other bands getting releases through the label "Lolipop Records." The Love Dimension recent release "Forget The Remember" has a straight to point retro sixties sounds. This is currently famous due to bands like Foxygen and Tame Impala. This band consists of six members and is from San Francisco.

However they should be proud of their phenomenally good garage-psych scene, of which Friscan locals, The Love Dimension can claim credit. Joining fellow expats Thee Oh Seas, Ty Segall and White Fence, The Love Dimension reinvigorate Californian psychedelia with a vengeance. New digital EP Not Until All Beings Are One mixes lo-fi, scuzzy guitars and endearingly shoddy vocals to create a genial 1960′s vibe with a modern edge. Not Until All Beings Are One was released on Feb 1st, so you can check it out or take a geeze at video for The Lighthouse Of Your Mind featuring tripped-out Frisco landscape.

When that happens it's usually the band that suffers the most, allowing it to become a self fulfilling prophecy. But when a band takes a ton of influences and puts them in a blender, magic can happen. That's the case with the new release "Forget The Remember" from the band The Love Dimension. The influences are right out of the band's San Francisco backyard and embrace the Rock and Roll of that city in its heyday. The album is full of little bits of inspiration from Country Joe McDonald and the Fish, Jefferson Airplane and even the Grateful Dead. It's familiar but original. It is country, rock and psychedelic all at the same time, and they are able to successfully recapture the time when country was an important ingredient in rock and roll. One of the coolest aspects of the recording is a certain looseness reminiscent of recordings from Big Brother and the Holding Company, and this lets the music breathe. It was the second track on the album "Bound To The Sound" that first drew me in. The drive, blended with guitar twang and a masterful chord progression, quickly becomes a song you want to hear over and over. The band has another album scheduled for release next month and if this is any indication, I can't wait. <a contents="Read More" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.musicfancam.com/2012/11/26/review-of-forget-the-remember-by-the-love-dimension/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=review-of-forget-the-remember-by-the-love-dimension" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39778552012-11-21T10:45:00-08:002016-01-06T22:42:52-08:00GAMH Show Wow!<p>Wow, what an amazing time we had at Great American Music Hall!

The Love Dimension are going one or two steps further. Forget The Remember is a cleverly and carefully, even reverently put together homage to the music and musicians of the mid 60s. The playing is pared down and avoids sliding too far into effusive technicolor psychedelics, the production is minimal and evokes a 'live in the studio' sound' and it's almost like fuzz pedals never happened. The Love Dimension will transport you to a West Coast coffee house circa 1965 without seemingly making too great an effort. <a contents="Read More" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.adequacy.net/2012/11/the-love-dimension-forget-the-remember/" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39798122012-11-14T21:15:00-08:002021-01-26T16:22:43-08:00Show Preview on Bay Bridged<p>As the hypnotic poster above indicates, SF quintet The Love Dimension is performing at the Great American Music Hall on Thursday night in support of their new album, Forget The Remember.

Bands that either had the strut of the record deals before or grew a following with the local scene had their music flourished; and the reluctant need to mention and review their work has given me the privilege to contact them and be able to share their singles with a loyal audience such as yourselves. The bands below are eclectic and unique in their sound as they still have that familiar tint of other noble bands we've come to know like Joy Division and Pavement. Those bands I'll be reviewing are the Love Dimension…<a contents="Read More" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://lzmstudio.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/we-are-sound.html" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39798222012-10-01T21:20:00-07:002016-01-07T21:20:36-08:00BABYSUE cd review of THE LOVE DIMENSION<p>The Love Dimension - Forget The Remember (CD, Warrior Monk, Pop) To quote directly from the band's web site: "The Love Dimension is an ever expanding sacred psychedelic music group from San Francisco (Originally from the lost city of Atlantis) that creates sonic architecture for the benefit of all sentient beings across the multi-verse. The Love Dimension is currently using their musical sound waves to open up hearts and spread the vibration of love on Planet Earth to assist in the quantum shift of the collective consciousness of humanity." Right about now you may be thinking you're in another decade...or century...but fear not, the year is still 2012. But the folks in The Love Dimension are bringing back ideals and values that will definitely remind folks of the progressive 1960s when it was all about peace and love. That said, this band's songs are more current and lighthearted than you might guess. The tracks on Forget The Remember are more pop than rock...and more about moving feet than moving mountains. Pretty cool sounding stuff here. Our favorite cuts include "True Love Comes 'Round Again," "Where Do We Go?", "Tierra Nueva," and "Outer Space." <a contents="Read More" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://babysue.com/2012-Oct-LMNOP-Reviews.html#anchor379949" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39798232012-09-30T21:25:00-07:002016-01-07T21:21:38-08:00The Love Dimension on NME<a contents="Video" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.nme.com/nme-video/youtube/id/OTacl2Ul7XMU" target="_blank">Video</a>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39798252012-09-29T21:25:00-07:002016-01-07T21:22:48-08:00Video of the Day: The Love Dimension<a contents="Video of the Day" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://madmackerel.org/2012/09/29/video-of-the-day-the-love-dimension/" target="_blank">Video of the Day</a> on Mad MackerelThe Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39798262012-09-28T21:25:00-07:002016-01-07T21:23:57-08:00The Love Dimension on Largehearted Boy Blog Downloads<p>Every day, Daily Downloads offers 10 free and legal mp3 downloads, plus free and legal live sets from around the internet.

Forget the Remember contains eleven nostalgia-based surf-rock tracks, the best of which, "Uma Coisa Linda," has the lonesome lilt of a prairie ballad. The upbeat numbers combine bubbly chord changes with anxious or introspective lyrics.

The Love Dimension<p>The Love Dimension has signed with Smokey Carrot Records and will be releasing, Forget the Remember, on November 20th. We received a lick of a stamp and experienced a highly psychedelic, garage-y trip. This band needs to stop playing the Bay Area and give us East Coasters some "love" in person. A good time is probably guaranteed from The Love Dimension who state they originally hailed from the Lost City of Atlantis and not San Francisco. And to think, I thought both locations were one and the same. <a contents="Read more in an upcoming issue of Dig This Real" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://digthisreal.com/2012/08/dig-this-the-love-dimension/" target="_blank">Read more in an upcoming issue of Dig This Real</a></p>The Love Dimensiontag:www.thelovedimension.com,2005:Post/39798352012-06-29T15:30:00-07:002016-01-07T21:40:02-08:00The Love Dimension signs with Smoky Carrot Records<p>The Love Dimension has signed on with London based label, Smoky Carrot Records.

The tour to the east coast was so fun. So many great memories created. Got to see friends we hadn't seen in while. New cities, sights and sounds. </p>
<p>Favorite shows: Northside Tavern in Cincy, Kung Fu Necktie in Philly, CoCo 66 in Brooklyn and Great Scott in Boston. We had some crazy adventures. Got pulled over by the Utah State Police. Camping and playing music with a generator in Indiana. Confused by time changes. Thrift store shopping. Too much fast food. Not enough sleep. Insane drives like 25 hours from Boston to Omaha and then 30 hours from Omaha to SF. Snow at Donner's Pass and having to buy and put on chains. </p>
<p>Best of all though lots of laughs and good times with good friends. Hope to do it again soon. </p>
