Local promoter Shirley Sparks Presents has put together an excellent lineup of music featuring, POW!, Massanger, Los Craters and The Electric Magpie for this Saturday at The Hemlock Tavern. Since releasing Hi-Tech Boom on Castleface Records, POW!’s synth-driven, fuzzed-out warning to San Francisco has been rapidly gaining attention after Thee Oh See’s Jonathan Dwyer described it as a “punk eulogy to our fair city.” The minimalist post-punk trio is sure to live up to the hype and put on a killer show. SoCal garage dwellers Massenger and Los Craters will bring their freaky surf rock sounds to the party while SF’s The Electric Magpie look to obliterate your face with their feedback-laden raga rock.
So stop by The Hemlock Tavern, SF’s most intimate rock club, to check out some of the best emerging indie bands on the west coast! – Ethan Varian
