Five local shows over the next two weeks<\/em><\/p>\n

Kevin Smead | Uptown News<\/p>\n

Bujwah Bonanza II @ Til-Two Club<\/b><\/p>\n

Saturday, June 21, and Sunday, June 22, doors open at noon<\/b><\/p>\n

$10 per day<\/b><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve always wanted to get into the local music scene but never knew where to start, I recommend checking out the second annual Bujwah Bonanza. Taking place across two days at the Til-Two Club, this mini-festival is packed with some of the best talent the region has to offer. The event is organized by Bujwah Strangers, a local street- and skate-focused brand. Check out the full list of bands for each day (some of my personal favorites being The Nformals, Amerikan Bear and Gloomsday) and buy tickets at tiltwoclub.com\/calendar.<\/p>\n

The Menzingers, Lemuria, Pup, Cayetana @ The Irenic (all ages)<\/b><\/p>\n

Sunday, June 22, 6 p.m.<\/b><\/p>\n

$15 advance, $17 day of
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

The Menzingers are such a killer band. I saw them open at the Ch\u00e9 a couple years ago and I\u2019ve been a fan ever since. Riding a solid line between pop and punk (these guys are an Epitaph band, after all), their songs are catchy while chock full of self-loathing and regret. It\u2019s music I certainly relate to, as the rad guitar hooks keep everything sonically very positive.\u00a0 Also, Lemuria\u2019s female-fronted fuzz pop is so excellent they\u2019re alone worth going for.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Pity Sex, Dangers, Solids @ the Ch\u00e9 Caf\u00e9 (all ages)<\/b><\/p>\n

Friday, June 27, 7 p.m.<\/b><\/p>\n

$10 advance, $12 day of
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll leave my opinions about what\u2019s going on with the Ch\u00e9 for another story (hint: I\u2019m not super stoked about it) and just say that it\u2019s worth going to any show there between now and its closure since it\u2019s such a great, historical venue. In this show\u2019s case, Pity Sex just happens to also be a great band. Sounding as if it could be part of the Midwest emo revival at least in style, its songs are full of lo-fi twinkly guitars that put you in the perfect headspace. I\u2019m not as jazzed about post-hardcore group Dangers, but they\u2019re still rad and you should still see them.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Transfer, Not in the Face, Shake Before Us, Hong Kong Fuzz @ The Casbah<\/b><\/p>\n

Friday, June 27, 8:30 p.m.<\/b><\/p>\n

$12 advance, $14 day of
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always been a fan of Transfer. For me, they occupy the same space as My Morning Jacket in that it\u2019s ostensibly a folk band, but actually way more interesting than that. They have a great range of songs, too, from more guitar driven rock, to mellow folk. It\u2019s some seriously good jams. Plus, all the opening bands are great, so just make a night out of the whole show.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

King Khan and the Shrines, Red Mass @ Soda Bar<\/b><\/p>\n

Monday, June 30, 8:30 p.m.<\/b><\/p>\n

$15<\/b><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never heard of King Khan and the Shrines, it\u2019s best just to look up its videos. There\u2019s an aspect of glam rock, funk, R&B, and good \u2018ole rock and roll to its music and it all adds up to a killer time. This is definitely a night for bringing your dancing shoes and not worrying if people think you look goofy. You\u2019ll be having a better time than them, anyway.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
