presents a night of fuzz, psych, garage, and underground rock at in San Diego with and ( from . The bill brings together a heavy, hazy, and melodic mix of sounds, moving from blown-out guitars and desert-fuzz energy to lo-fi hooks, hypnotic grooves, and raw live-band electricity.

The Fazes bring shimmering psych-pop and indie rock textures into the night, while Dizz Brew pushes the volume with thick fuzz, heavy riffs, and a borderland stoner-rock spirit. Jordana rounds out the bill with a solo performance, adding another layer to a night built around movement, distortion, and DIY connection.

Wednesday, May 21 at Tower Bar in San Diego. Doors at 7 PM, music at 8 PM.
