Teragram Ballroom

Clear your calendars and dust off your most ironic band tee for a weekend that promises to be a seismic shift in your sonic universe. Aquarium Drunkard is rolling out the red carpet for their 21st anniversary, and they’re bringing the luminary indie collective, SML, to center stage for two nights of pure, unadulterated eargasmic bliss. Friday kicks off with the hypnotic strums of Fabiano do Nascimento, weaving Brazilian magic that’ll make your soul do the samba, while Dagmar Zuniga is set to transport you to dimensions unknown. Reverberation Radio DJs will keep the vibes flowing like a 3 a.m. bodega run.

Saturday, the kaleidoscopic voice of Genevieve Artadi will take you on an astral journey that could make even the most stoic concertgoer shed a tear of joy. Yeah, Dagmar’s back for round two, and those Reverberation Radio DJs aren’t stopping until every molecule of your being is saturated with sound. It’s all happening at KCRW—your portal to the ultimate audiophile haven. Hop in, get lost, and prepare to brag about it endlessly. $60 for both nights? That’s less than you’d drop on a few oat-milk lattes while you scroll Pitchfork’s latest hot takes. Don’t sleep on this one; it’s bound to be the weekend everyone will wish they were part of.

If you're not already vibing with High Fade, it's probably because you're still stuck in 2023.

These guys blend shoegaze and dream pop with a sprinkle of nostalgia that feels eerily fresh. And let's not sleep on Turning Jane, their opening act, who are redefining what it means to make music in a post-bedroom-pop world. At just $25, this is not just a gig; it’s a rite of passage. Doors open at 7pm, and trust me, you want to be front and center when the first chord strikes. All ages welcome, but leave your preconceptions at the door.

With doors opening at 7pm, you'll want to snag that $20 advance ticket before it morphs into a $25 last-minute regret. Snõõper's live set is a kaleidoscope of unpredictable energy—imagine a sonic love child of early Animal Collective and a basement rave gone delightfully rogue. Prepare for a night where the dance floor becomes a living, breathing organism and the line between performer and audience blurs into a blissful cacophony.

The $28 ticket is a small price to pay for a night that promises to be an electrifying cocktail of raucous energy and garage-punk grit, reminding us all that music is best served loud, fast, and with a middle finger to the mundane. Doors at 7, chaos at 8. Don't sleep on this—unless, of course, you're into getting your cultural thrills from a Netflix queue.

It's all happening on July 18th, and whether you're shelling out $20 in advance or throwing down $25 at the door, this is the kind of sonic baptism you won't want to miss.
