Summertime Sampler:
1. “Kids,” by MGMT
You may have missed last night’s sold-out show, but you’ll definitely want to keep this electro-pop fan favorite in heavy rotation.
2. “Boys With Girlfriends,” by Meiko (Aug. 3 at The Loft)
Like stumbling into a warm coffeehouse on a rainy day, Meiko’s sound is a dreamy mix of breezy lovelorn musings and folksy acoustic guitar.
3. “Love Drunk,” by Boys Like Girls (Aug. 4 at Pipeline Café)
A little bit emo, a little bit pop punk and all so catchy you won’t be able to help but sing along.
4. “Far Behind,” by Candlebox (Aug. 7 at Pipeline Café)
90’s grunge all grown up with a polished hard rock feel.
5. “Don’t Speak,” by No Doubt (Aug.11 & 12 at the Blaisdell Concert Hall)
Reunited and it sounds so good! Gwen and the boys are back to revive all of their chart-topping 90’s, ska punk megahits.

Laid-back lyrics over a twangy, mellow guitar—the perfect pop folk soundtrack for lazy summer days.

Acoustic and electric sound backs the echo-y, melancholy vocals from indie rock’s latest darlings.

Dig out your neon mesh tank top and acid wash jeans for a flashback to the 80’s!
