“Our whole thing is never doing the same thing twice,” says Eugene, Oregon native Hargo Khalsa. “There are a lot of moods and a lot of energies on the record, and that’s something that we strive to do. Always change it up.”
Hargo, a four-piece band that has drawn comparisons to the Beatles, Beck, and Radiohead, has regrouped after a falling out with their previous drummer on a spring tour. Ron Kerner has since taken over the traps alongside guitarist Sanjay Parekh and bassist/beat programmer John Jolley.
Their pending Out of Mankind full-length was recorded in New York in the summer of 2009 and is due to be released this fall.
“We’ve been sitting on these tracks for a long time,” says Jolley, “so for our live material we’ve been going a more electronic direction. More experimental.”
“We’re just excited to get out and play as many shows as possible,” says Hargo. “We’ve got, like, 30 bah mitzvahs lined up.”
Hargo plays Ojai tonight after a short tour up to Bakersfield, but they’ll be back in town at the Tin Can Ale House on Wednesday, July 20.
