Not going to get into the nitty gritty here. If you want that, check out the previous post that covers all these acts. Below, you'll find the setlists/playlists of all six bands I featured in my prior write-up. They all represent a tidy little sampler of the Pasadena Daydream's darkly musical offerings, with maybe the …
