Hoping to avoid sunstroke, I’ve retreated to the cavern-like confines of Beerland. Dead Ghosts were on stage as I walked in. Their loud garage rock kicked my ass in gear and set the tone for what’s likely to be an afternoon of scoping out garage punk groups I’ve never seen before.
Earlier, I was at the Onion AV show. Chikita Violenta was just alright, kind of a gentler take on later Superchunk. The straightforward pop-rock of the Thermals was a bit better.
