LSD and the Search for God is an American shoegaze band formed in San Francisco, California, in 2005. [1]

Contents

The band's founding members are singer and guitarist Andy Liszt, singer Sophia Campbell, and guitarist Chris Fifield, with several recurring and past members having been part of the lineup throughout its history. [5] The origin of the group's name is a reference to author William Braden's book The Private Sea: LSD and the Search for God. They gained traction following the release of their debut self-titled EP in 2007 under the record label Mind Expansion. [6] The EP sold out and was reissued on vinyl the following year by Deep Space Recordings. [7] In 2016, they released their only new material since then, an EP titled Heaven is a Place. [8] However, the band remains active and have gained a cult following. [9] [10] Guitarist Andy Liszt uses a Marshall Shredmaster distortion pedal among his equipment. [11]
