Like Exray’s, Still Flyin and Adios Amigo are also celebrating new albums this month, but it’s not just the locals who have exciting records to offer. Japandroids’ latest finds the band in peak DIY noise pop form, while Here We Go Magic bring detail-rich art rock to The Independent in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>June also features a homecoming for Lemonade, a band that returns from Brooklyn with the addictive \u003ci>Diver\u003c/i>, while Advance Base’s Owen Ashworth, himself a Redwood City native, comes back to SF for a first performance after abandoning Casiotone for the Painfully Alone.
