¿Qué Pasa?, The Bolos, Junkie
Dipping into Spanish for their 2014 album Big Mistake, ¿Qué Pasa? shreds through bilingual bass-heavy punk. The Bolos’ recent Booze Blues EP kicks off with “A Blues Carol,” a 12-bar shuffle hurtling way over the speed limit for the blues form. For the rest of Booze Blues, the quartet keeps up this MPH, cruising through seven tracks of barn-burning, tallboy-shotgunning blues punk. SA weed-rockers Junkie take a page out of the Wavves playbook, rhyming “daze,” “blaze” “craze” and “laze” as frequently as they evoke teenage boredom and catchy guitar riffs on their Bong Dazed EP. 9pm, Tequila Island, 622 Roosevelt, (210) 365-2639
