\nThree diverse bands make up this lineup, each with its own take on pop music, which should make for a very fun night. Super Buffet presents a guitar-heavy style of party music that\u2019s safe enough for hard-working blue collar folks with a sense of humor. Do you know any other bands that have their own theme song? Mittens call their genre \u201ccat pop\u201d which works if you imagine their sweet female-fronted tunes played behind adorable videos of kittens. And Grizzly Business adds some garage fuzziness to their music \u00e0 la The Strokes.<\/p>\n

\nNorthern California songstress Kelly McFarling makes frequent San Diego appearances, and damn are we lucky. Her lyrics and music echo a timeless folk-country style with her voice conveying a powerful resonance. Backed by classic pedal steel and banjo, her appeal transcends to fans of all genres. This show perfectly pairs McFarling with hometown bluegrass Americana boys (and girl) River City. Seven Grand is well-known for hosting jazz musicians so its great to see them catering to other genres \u2014 plus whiskey goes with all styles of music, right?<\/p>\n![\"Papercuts](\"https:\/\/sduptownnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/papercutsmainimage-800x400.jpg\")

\nIf the first single from Papercuts\u2019 recently released album Life Among The Savages is any indication this is your chance to see an artist on the brink. The dreamy ethereal aspects of the songs are reminiscent of popular groups like Phantogram and The xx while remaining dynamic and catchy. Papercuts should soon be playing to larger, broader audiences with a sound that balances freshness with familiarity. The Blank Tapes have a psychedelic edge to their vintage rock sound. And rounding out the line up Line & Circle blend toe-tapping sounds with a dark new wave feeling.<\/p>\n

\nAfter The Burning of Rome took home Album of the Year at the 2013 San Diego Music Awards for \u201cWith Us,\u201d they did anything but rest on their laurels. They went to work crafting a follow-up that promises to be just as mesmerizing and artistic, which they\u2019ll celebrate at this release show. The first single \u201cGod of Small Things\u201d indicates we\u2019ll get more feminine vocals from Aimee Jacobs interlaced with Adam Traub\u2019s signature haunting voice. TBOR\u2019s live shows are a thing of legend, so don\u2019t miss out. They will be joined for this one by metal rockers Hell or Highwater and Eukaryst along with the (only slightly) less hard-hitting rock outfit The Fairy Bones.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
