Anand’s Picks to Click
CALL THE SITTER
- June 24: Destructo Disk, Babe Haven, Slow Funeral @ The Southern Café & Music Hall
I have a personal endorsement for Destructo Disk, having shared the stage with them before. This entire bill is insane, though, covering post-punk, pop-punk, post-hardcore, industrial, and more. Fans of heavier music need to be at this one.
GET YOUR TICKETS
- June 25: Sunny War @ Front Porch
This is going to be an incredibly intimate show with this crustpunk turned elder stateswoman in the singer-songwriter community. There couldn’t be a better way to experience her very vulnerable brand of music.
CHECK IT OUT
- June 27: Spafford @ Jefferson Theater
If you’re a fan of Phishy jams, you already know about Spafford. This hard-touring act is bringing is exploratory sound back to Charlottesville and they always deliver.
