Founded in 2006 as a quartet by guitarist/keyboardists Tyler Green and Jason Miller, bassist Marc Melzer and drummer Chris Musgrave (multi-instrumentalist Luis Vasquez would join two years later), SF group marries sprawling, psychedelic drone to the propulsive motorik rhythms of influential krautrock bands like Can and Neu to stunning effect. The group's self-titled 2008 debut EP earned the group rave reviews and marked Lumerians as a band to watch.

High-profile support on both coasts of such name acts as Butthole Surfers and Killing Joke would follow, leading up to the release of the band's sophomore effort Transmalinnia on Knitting Factory Records last year. While Vasquez has since departed to pursue his own muse with synth-driven solo project Soft Moon, Lumerians have proven themselves to be nothing if not prolific. Earlier this year, the band released the hypnotic  Transmissions From Telos Vol. IV, but they have already followed up with a second EP Horizon Structures that came out this week. The band recently returned from an extensive European tour and plays its first homecoming shows this weekend, offering support during two rare Bay Area shows by pioneering electro-punk group Psychic TV (led by British experimental-music icon Genesis P-Orridge) at the Uptown this weekend.

Lumerians play Friday-Saturday, Dec. 14-15, at the Uptown in Oakland with Psychic TV, King Dude and Youth Code. 9 p.m. $23
