After one of their first gigs (with Australia's The Morning After Girls), LSD was asked by Kurt Heasley to play with Lilys. Shortly after, they were invited on two separate West Coast tours: first with Spectrum (featuring Sonic Boom of Spacemen 3) and then with The Telescopes (on their first-ever U.S. tour).
In 2007 LSD's self-titled debut EP (Mind Expansion) sold out from the record label and distributor before the official release date. It was subsequently picked up and reissued on vinyl (Deep Space Recordings, 2008). Around this time, LSD was also featured on three compilations: Mind Expansion Vol. 1, M.E. Vol. 2, and "Take Me on the Wildest Spree," a “nugazer” compilation released by Australia's Rubber Records (a division of EMI).
The momentum from their early shows and sold-out EP paved the way for a busy three three years of West Coast shows, a U.S. tour, and a handful of festival dates as LSD shared the bill with the likes of Dead Meadow, Martin Rev (of Suicide), and DJs Anton Newcombe (Brian Jonestown Massacre), Nick Jago (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club), and Colm O'Coissoig (My Bloody Valentine).
In the early hours of December 21, 2010, LSD were bio-holographically informed that humanity was exactly two years away from a near-spontaneous metamorphosis into a more highly evolved state of consciousness. To prepare, LSD went underground the very next day to explore new sonic frontiers while committing to a two-year vow of virtual silence by ending all non-essential communication.
As the hibernation comes to an end, it also marks a new beginning. Expect updates soon on a busy 2013 that will include shows, travels, and new releases to celebrate our collective arrival, offer psychic healing, and help facilitate a smooth transition to our new dimension.

I Don’t Care
LSD and the Search for God Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That never meant that much to you
You took my time, you took my books
I took your photograph
And now that′s all I've left of you
Yeah, it′s true
Now when you come around
You laugh about the things you put me through
I don't care what you are going through
It's never gonna bring me back to you
′Cause of the things you left
You drag them back and back
I called you up and I read it back to you
All the things I′d heard before
They're true and so much more
Never expected it from you
Yeah, it′s true
The lyrics of LSD and the Search for God's song, "I Don't Care," convey a sense of hurt and betrayal that comes with a broken relationship. The singer seems to be coming to terms with the end of the relationship and what it meant to them. They mention wanting their records back, indicating that they are taking back the things that matter to them, but also acknowledging that these items did not mean much to the other person. The singer goes on to list the things that were taken from them, including time and books, and contrasts it with what they took - a photograph, which is now all they have left of their former partner.
The chorus of the song expresses a sense of detachment from the other person's current life situations. The singer is no longer invested in what the other person is going through, nor does it affect them. They have moved on and are no longer willing to return to the past. The verse that follows repeats the idea that the other person is dragging their past back into the singer's life, likely through reminders and attempts of rekindling a relationship. The singer, however, knows the truth and would not fall for the same mistakes again. The final line of the song, "Never expected it from you," suggests a long-standing relationship that came to an unexpected end, leaving the singer to process the betrayal and move on.
