The Dream Syndicate at the Troubadour: Paisley underground band the Dream Syndicate are celebrating the release of the How Did We Find Ourselves Here? documentary and companion soundtrack Live Through the Past, Darkly (coming out on February 9 via Label 51 Recordings) with a show at the Troubadour, which seems entirely appropriate for the L.A. legends.

“What makes the soundtrack interesting is that it’s a career spanning collection of previously unreleased live (or radio) recordings that features nearly every Dream Syndicate line-up spanning the band’s entire career; it features Steve Wynn, Dennis Duck, Mark Walton, Jason Victor and Kendra Smith, Karl Precoda, Paul Cutler, Tom Zvoncheck and Vicki Peterson,” reads a press release. And wouldn’t you know it, Vicki Peterson and John Cowslip also perform.

We spoke to Dennis Duck of the Dream Syndicate in 2022, when he told us that Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica is his favorite album.

“So this, among all of the incredible albums I’ve enjoyed over the years, is the one that truly, permanently changed my perspective on music,” Duck said. “What it could be. The possibilities. I later went on to be part of an incredible group of artists and improvisers, the Los Angeles Free Music Society. If not for Trout Mask Replica, I don’t think my musical and artistic life would have taken that direction.”

The Dream Syndicate at the Troubadour: The event takes place at 8 p.m. on Saturday, January 27 at the Troubadour.
