The Torques are a cornerstone of Lexington, Kentucky’s regional garage and psychedelic scene, formed in 1960 by a group of high school musicians who turned their hometown into a launchpad for raw, energetic rock. With a sound built on tight harmonies, blazing guitar lines, and trumpet accents, they helped shape the mid-1960s garage-rock landscape before taking a collective breath into reunion-era performances. If you’re exploring the roots of American garage culture, The Torques are a must-know chapter, and we’ve got you covered for tickets when opportunities arise.
