San Diego Shows–Thursday, Aug. 12
PLAN A: Wavves @ MCASD Downtown. Maybe you liked Wavves when it was a lo-fi bedroom project, but now you think his well-received King of the Beach is just pop-punk with Beach Boys decorations. I hear you. Honestly, though, songs like “Post Acid” are catchy as hell. PLAN B: Rob Crow, Brian Warren @ Whistle Stop. You might recognize Rob Crow as that guy from Pinback who’s in a million other bands. But don’t mistake Weatherbox frontman Brian Warren for the mixed-martial-arts fighter of the same name, who can’t play guitar for shit. At this special night, Crow and Warren play acoustic solo sets. BACKUP PLAN: Mono / Poly, DJ Clean Cut, DJ Pound @ El Dorado.
