Acid Dad
Like fellow Brooklynites Parquet Courts, college-aged quartet Acid Dad specializes in a tightly wound, metronomic brand of garage-punk that puts its members’ exuberant personalities at the forefront. Unsubtle hipster-psych shades of Tame Impala and Thee Oh Sees also color the group’s work, as heard on Let’s Plan a Robbery, its solid debut EP, out Feb. 26 on Knife Tapes. At the start of a tour that includes gigs at the Savannah Stopover festival and SXSW, the buzz-bin band will play Caledonia on Monday night with support from punky locals The Hernies, The Rodney Kings and Nihilist Cheerleader.
THE HERNIES Local indie rock band led by songwriter Henry Barbe.
ACID DAD Brooklyn-based psych-punk band in the vein of Parquet Courts and Ty Segall. See Calendar Pick on p. 17.
THE RODNEY KINGS Scuzzed-out local garage-punk trio.
NIHILIST CHEERLEADER Local up-and-comers play energetic, fun lo-fi punk rock.
