Sat 22: 934 Fest 2017: Eye, Dana, WVWhite, Raw Pony, Booty & The Kidd, Hello Luna, The Trio, Polly Pocket, Room & Board, DJ George Brazil 1-11pm
PICK: Eye is (or, at least was) the guitarist & drummer from Pretty Weapons and the bassist from Teeth of the Hydra so, yeah, there's some space-y Sabbath and Floyd influence. If DANA were around 25 years ago I probably would have fallen hopelessly enamored and intrigued with the vocalist, the band, and their dark, dissonant, dynamic, visceral art rock schizophrenia. As it stands today? I probably should see them more than twice before committing or commenting too much. There's a lot of Pavement & Dinosaur Jr. slack-dom with a tiny bit of lofi shoegaze in WVWhite.

Sat 22: She Bears (album release), Yellow Paper Planes, Cliffs, Walf 9pm
PICK: She Bears have several Modest Mouse-like songs, including my first new favorite song of 2011. Cliffs was one of Alive's bands to watch a few years ago. The later addition of a bassist turned the then thin, messy and lo-fi drums & guitar two-piece in to a more solid, cohesive band.
