Low Roar @ The Chapel
The Bay Area ex-pat, currently settled in Warsaw, comes home to the Chapel.
Trevor Sensor @ The Crepe Place
He’s coming to SF the night after, but the small (some might say cramped) Crepe Place seems a more appropriate setting for his solo singer-songwriter vibes.

SMSHING HRTS, Naked Walrus, Shipwright @ Bottom of the Hill
This is almost an all-local lineup — Naked Walrus throws the curve.
Pinegrove, Florist, Lomelda @ The Catalyst
Pinegrove is blowing up fast, and Florist isn’t far behind — it might be worth your while to caravan down to Santa Cruz to catch them in the Bay Area this week.

The long-running collaboration between Tim Presley and Cate Le Bon continues as Drinks, playing a special Oakland show for your hump day wind-down.
