San Diego Shows–Friday, Aug. 27

PLAN A: Oneida, Jonas Reinhardt, The Lights, Shapes of Future Frames @ Soda Bar. The missing link between such disparate genres as prog-rock and dancehall, Brooklyn’s Oneida have spent more than 10 years crafting experimental indie rock that’s consistently surprising. Jonas Reinhardt’s spacey synth odysseys make him a perfect fit for the experimental label Kranky. Seattle’s The Lights round out a solid bill with their ghostly rock. PLAN B: Nude Boy, Neon Dick @ Tower Bar. Locals Nude Boy will celebrate the release of their new 7-inch with some ear-splitting post-punk. Don’t miss the catchy-if-unsettling Neon Dick. BACKUP PLAN: The White Buffalo, Blackout Party, El Monte Slim @ The Casbah.
