image1651053832.jpgI wanted to see Thee Oh Sees at Mohawk, but there was a huge line, aparently due to the much-hyped Surfer Blood. The “B” in Plan B stands for Beerland, and so here I am enjoying a set by San Francisco’s Sonny and the Sunsets. It’s some great retro rock filtered through a bit of punk grit and featuring nice boy-girl tandem vocals. Maybe not quite Thee Oh Sees, but it’s a worthy replacement.

Before that, I really dug the Crystal Antlers’ set at Red 7. The band has added a new keyboard player and an almost entirely new repetiore since I’ve last seen them, with the result being a poppier sound that still retains their core psychedelia. It’s a development that has me excited to hear the group’s next record.
