A funky band that plays a mixed range of genres and whose members describe their music as "psychedelic funk-tronica" will appear in Iowa City this weekend.

IndigoSun will play at 10 p.m. Friday at the Yacht Club, 13 S. Linn St. Admission is $6.

The four-member group, which hails from Chicago, has been gaining popularity across the Midwest. Together since 2008, IndigoSun went through phases in terms of the type of music it plays. Now, its music is mostly electric mixed with psychedelic sounds.

Because the group plays a lot of combined genres, IndigoSun loves to create a party-like experience when it performs on stage. The band has been greatly influenced by several electronic acts, including Big Gigantic and Lotus.

The IndigoSun musicians also pride themselves on being able to move the crowd members and motivate them to dance as they have never danced before. But they also consider their music a healing tool, capable of helping any individual through spirituality with the overall funk of their music.
