Somehow, it’s already the end of July.

The month slipped through your fingers like sand and now August is standing there, arms crossed, asking what you’ve done with your summer.

Here’s a start: enter to win tickets to see Lucy Dacus and Slow Pulp at Cal Coast on 9/9. You’ll feel things. Maybe too many things. But that’s kind of the point.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Sidepiece lands at NOVA on 10/4, which gives you two months to clear your calendar and pretend you don’t have work the next day.

• Known for woozy guitars and bedroom pop that always feels a little haunted, Triathalon plays Soda Bar on 11/11. Tickets drop tomorrow.

• Equal parts lounge act, pop oddball, and falsetto king, Har Mar Superstar returns to Casbah 12/12. It’s definitely worth showing up for.

• Bass juggernaut Virtual Riot hits Bloom on 8/30 alongside DnB riser Justin Hawkes. Expect neck-snapping drops and high-speed precision — not for casual listeners.

• Plus, other just-announced shows from Real Estate, Jade Bird, Wild Wild Wets, Jackie Mendoza, Chorduroy, Tommy Castro & The Painkillers, and more!
