" Over the years a lot of garage rock bands have evolved from reproducing the amped-up white blues of the first generation of Rolling Stones wannabes in the mid-&amp;#039;60s to finding inspiration from what those old guys made after they took acid and dropped out to live in a teepee in the Hollywood Hills or something. Although they hail from farther south in Costa Mesa, slackadelic quintet the Growlers recorded their upcoming EP, Gilded Pleasures (out November 12 on Everloving Records), in Topanga Canyon, one of the capitals of West Coast hippie dropout-dom, and where Neil Young recorded After the Gold Rush.
