What’s Going On: 6/29 – 7/6
1. Bare Wires w/ Outdoorsmen and Taxi Boys
Where: East End
How Much: $8 (+21)
When: Thursday, June 30th
Why: Matthew Melton has been kicking out the jams for the better part of a decade. Originally from Memphis, Melton moved to Oakland where his solo efforts brought on projects like Snake Flower 2 and Bare Wires. The latter is the finest power-pop glam/punk you’ll hear out of Oakland. Keep your ears peeled for new songs from their third album due out later this year!

- Where: Doug Fir
- How Much: $12 (+21)
- When: Tonight, June 8th & June 9th – 9pm

Catch them tonight with Federale and tomorrow with Kelli Schaefer.
