Buttertones, Frankie & The Witch Fingers – Casbah
The Buttertones are a rock n’ roll band that got their start in 2011. Their self-titled debut was released on Los Angeles based Lolipop Records–one of our favorite labels right now! More info.

Thursday, August 3

Rooney, Run River North – The Irenic
You probably remember Rooney’s upbeat California-centric songs blasting from the speakers of Hollister or Abercombie & Fitch when you were a highschooler. (Editor’s note: if you’re old like me, you associate them with The OC.) See Robert Schwartzman and company’s new look at the Irenic for their Ultrasonic Summer tour. More info.
