Moon By You, Weeed, Reptaliens
With soul-skewed rock as their thrust, multi-instrumental quintet Moon By You matches the shimmer of their glittery outfits with an impressive cavalcade of sounds, like a Shangri-Las acid trip or a time-travel to a free Jefferson Airplane gig in Golden Gate Park, replete with onstage dancers and the unassuming energy from frontwoman Sarah Kue.

Mic Capes, Brown Alice, Ellis Pink, DJ Fritzwa
Any chance you get to see Mic Capes perform for free, YOU GO. It’s become pretty clear he’s going places, so you may as well enjoy him live while he’s cheap. For the lucky souls who do show up, you’re gonna hear these “Razor Tongue” bars loud and clear. JENNI MOORE
