In Live This Month, we sample some of the great local and out-of-town bands performing in the coming month in the San Francisco Bay Area.

This month’s mix features unpredictable Philly art-rock band Palm, the genre-mashing punk-meets-electronic music of Algiers, and Vinyl Williams‘ psych-pop. This podcast also highlights the returns of veteran indie rockers Cymbals Eat Guitars and noise project Pharmakon, whose latest albums are being heralded as career highlights.

We’ve also got new music from a slew of great local bands, including Flesh World, whose new album arrives in September, and recent records by The Younger Lovers, Kelly McFarling, and Street Eaters. There’s also a great new song by longtime local musician Kacey Johansing, who recently relocated to Los Angeles.

Enjoy the podcast and then go see some concerts!
