Bay-area garage/punk band Dirty Denim will be playing Rickshaw Stop on July 27th. On their self-titled demo, the four-piece is at once playful and attitudinal. The three-song demo incorporates elements of punk, surf, new wave, indie and even hints of Motown. Yet, Dirty Denim’s sound is very much their own, and it’s instantly catchy. Chances are, you’ll be humming "Meant to Be" for a few days after one listen. –Ethan Ames
