PLAN A: Everest, Writer, Maren Parusel @ Belly Up. It’s easy to understand why Everest opened for Neil Young in 2008: The Los Angeles quintet specializes in the kind of twanging, homespun rock that Young mastered 40 years ago. They might not be breaking new ground, but they sound damn good. PLAN B: Champagne Champagne, Mad Rad, Young Olmos @ Soda Bar. An indie-kid-friendly rap group from Seattle, Champagne Champagne deliver irreverent rhymes over spaced-out beats in highlights like “Soda Poprocks” and “Molly Ringwald.” BACKUP PLAN: Vegetarian Werewolf, Night Rocker, DJ Luxury Death Machine @ Tin Can Ale House.
ALSO: Pinback Presents The Rob & Zach Show, JP Inc. @ The Casbah. If you read our feature in this week's issue, you know that Pinback fans are in for a treat tonight: In an effort to showcase their stripped-down new setup, Pinback co-founders Rob Crow and Zach Smith will play their 2001 classic, Blue Screen Life, front to back, plus some other goodies.
