Destroy Boys
Friday, Aug. 8, 1:35 p.m.
Since their first big single “I Threw Glass at My Friend’s Eyes and Now I’m on Probation,” Destroy Boys’ dark humor and chainsawing guitar riffs have earned the band a following well outside their Northern California home base. Originally from Sacramento, Destroy Boys cut their teeth in the Bay Area. Their 2024 album, Funeral Soundtrack #4, showcases their versatility as they blend punk with indie rock grooves and even offer a bit of Argentine-inflected rock en español.
Baalti
Friday, Aug. 8, 12 p.m. and 2:20 p.m.
Electronic music duo Baalti are crate digger extraordinaires. The two producers cull samples from Bollywood and South Asian classics, and mix them into global club bangers that draw from house, U.K. garage and more. That fusion has attracted an international audience in nightlife meccas like Berlin, New York and, of course, their home base of San Francisco.
Claude VonStroke
Saturday, Aug. 9, 8:10 p.m.
The idea for Dirtybird Records came to Claude VonStroke after he hauled his sound system to Golden Gate Park and threw a guerrilla-style party 20 years ago. Since then, his gritty, booty-shaking take on house music, like his most recent single with Reggie Watts, “This MFing Beat,” has drawn a passionate cult following.
Still Woozy
Friday, Aug. 8, 5:30 p.m.
True to his name, Still Woozy pens dreamy melodies for reflective lyrics that float like clouds over fuzzy guitar riffs. The Moraga-raised singer-songwriter, now based in Portland, has spent this year bringing his charming grooves to festival stages like Coachella before he hits the stage at Outside Lands.
Outside Lands takes place at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco Aug. 8-10. Full schedule and lineup here.
