In this episode, Ben, Christian, and Jason offer some individual picks for must-see shows in the months ahead, alongside songs from the artists discussed. Along the way, we chat about the undeniable appeal of Thee Oh Sees‘ live shows, the emergence of music festivals outside of San Francisco proper, and much more. Obviously, this mix only scratches the surface of the variety of great shows headed our way in the coming months, but it’s full of events worth seeking out.
