Brooklyn’s psychedelic-pop-soul-rock quartet Hysterics brought their frenetic energy to Bowery Poetry Club on Saturday night.

Sometimes you see onstage freakouts that seem premeditated, however, while the young men of Hysterics know exactly what they’re doing on stage, their shenanigans don’t come across as insincere.

Hysterics are a neo-psychedelic pop rock outfit from Brooklyn. The first time I saw them was last April at Warsaw when they opened for Regina Spektor. Warsaw was far from filled when they took the stage, but when they started playing, it was musical crush at first listen. The young men who make up Hysterics captured my attention with their modern twist on classic sounds. They sound more like The Beatles and The Zombies than any of the indie rock acts currently floating around. Their music is genre-bending pop, and the careful listener will hear elements of blues, soul, and rock n’ roll.Hysterics received a lot of hype, and even a “You Hear It First” spot on MTV courtesy of their music being posted on the blog Music For Robots. The band was signed to V2 Records for a bit before V2 decided to go into catalogues. According to their myspace, they plan on self-releasing their album.
