This is a tale as old as time: We love Summer Darling.
And so we've come out of hibernation to present tonight's show at Spaceland to celebrate the recent release of the band's wonderful self-titled new album (out now on Origami Vinyl) and the second night of their month-long residency. Masterminds of the bait-and-pounce post-rock build-ups, Summer Darling's new record lures you in with beautifully written melodies then pummels you with brutal guitar breakdowns and vitriolic narratives. First-timers who caught the band last week were noticeably taken back by the band's explosive live delivery, probably assuming a band called Summer Darling would be twee-popping around the stage. They were sorely mistaken.
If that weren't enough, we're also celebrating the birth of a one Jacqueline Santillan of Wait.Think.Fast. whose new record comes out officially next month but you might be able to pick up advance copies tonight. Rounding out the night will be The Black Apples and Cue the Moon, two of L.A.'s best newcomers.
Oh, and it's also our 13th anniversary show (yawn).
