Surfbort hit the stage to an exponentially growing crowd, visibly disoriented by the downward slope of the theater. It was Monday. We were all a little dazed from the work week kickoff and the band’s opening volley may have thrown us a little farther back – at least for a moment. “Les Be in Love” took it down a notch, with vocalist Dani Miller surfing the crowd like a light wave of sludge.

Black Lips had the house packed by the time they took the stage. The Atlanta garage outfit pulled from their classic records before introducing a new gem for a possible country album they’re recording. The pit opened wide like a grungy Sarlacc, pulling most in while throwing the sweat outward.
Ice Age (Justin Bieggar / GUM)
Iceage is touring on their latest record, Beyondless, out now on Matador, and brought the goods to an ecstatic crowd. The aspiring sound engineer I met outside couldn’t be more excited as he went on about the “perfect evolution” of the band as they rolled out the new stuff. “You’re in for a seriously great show, man,” he tells me as I refer him to the greatness of GUM on his phone. Not a single ass was seated for the band as they seemed to serenade the crowd softly with heavy jams and a gritty disposition. The lighting was alright.
