Back from the grave is Mazinga Phaser, the band at the center of the late-'90s Denton space-rock vortex. On Friday, founder and local space-rock chieftain Mwanza Dover unveiled his "Mazinga Phaser II" project to commemorate the band's 10-year anniversary. Spacey video graphics and droning feedback recalled old Melodica festivals, and after eight years of dormancy, the lineup's second comeback show didn't come together perfectly, but Travis Williams' rifle-shot drumming and Dover's white-noise blasts lifted both old and new songs with a satisfying level of noise. Here's hoping for more soon from the poster band of an unforgettable metroplex music era.
