Bee Bee Sea

Hailing from Castel Goffredo, a pint-size burg in northern Italy, psych-rock trio Bee Bee Sea craft retro sounds for modern ears, expertly balancing attitude with goofiness. For instance, with its punchy riffs, flouncy lyrics and breakneck percussion, the band’s scalding cut “This Dog Is the King of Losers” feels just a wee bit ridiculous — especially when the song comes to life in its kaleidoscopic green-screen video. Dressed in head-to-toe furry dog costumes, the group’s members trade mystique for camp yet still come out the other side with disaffected rock-and-roll cool. Catch Bee Bee Sea on Tuesday, July 17, at the Monkey House in Winooski.
