XRAY.FM is throwing a “mini music fest” this Sunday, August 12th at White Owl Social Club. There will be performances by Natasha Kmeto, Just Pretend, Miss Rayon, and Plastic Cactus. Chanti Darling will also be doing a DJ Set. However, this mini fest isn’t limited to live performances, as there will also be a curated record fair, plenty of food, and even an XRAY pop-up photobooth. Doors open at 2pm, the record fair goes until 8pm, and music goes until 11pm. The festival is 21+, and although entry is free a $5-10 donation at the door is suggested. You can check out the full lineup here.

Every time I’m convinced there’s no more good punk left, an act like Oakland’s Blues Lawyer pops up to remind me I couldn’t be more wrong. Their debut LP Guess Work is a stunning exercise in brevity, filled with tongue-in-cheek lo-fi tracks that hark right back to the ‘70s. None of the members are interested in attempting to impress you (or waste any of your time) with overwrought guitar solos or steep buildups. They’re only interested in making instant classics, and they do so in two minutes or less. They said it best themselves on the punk puppy love anthem “Waste” (streaming below), where the chorus declares “I don’t want to waste time / I want to waste with you.” Well, we want to waste with you, too. - Lilly Milman
