LSD and the Search for God is an American shoegaze band from San Francisco.[1]

The band consists of singer and guitarist Andy Liszt, singer Sophia Campbell and guitarist Chris Fifield.[3] The group originally began performing as The Cocaine Family, but by 2006 had settled on the name LSD and the Search for God,[4] a reference to author William Braden's book The Private Sea: LSD and the Search for God. They gained traction after the release of their debut self-titled EP in 2007 under record label Mind Expansion.[5] The EP sold out and was reissued on vinyl the following year via Deep Space Recordings.[6] In 2016, they released their only new material since, an EP titled Heaven is a Place.[7] However, the band remains active and have gained a cult following.[8][9] Guitarist Andy Liszt uses a Marshall Shredmaster distortion pedal among his equipment.[10]
