Tonight NY-bred indie pop outfit Vampire Weekend (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4) will be performing to a sold-out crowd at yet another unlikely venue, the Art Theater in Long Beach.

If any band has ever made me reconsider the old T-shirt adage, “If it’s too loud, you’re too old,” it’s Japan’s DMBQ. Last time I saw them, it was so loud I felt like throwing up for hours afterward. It was awesome. DMBQ, playing at The Smell on June 8, are a Japanese mishmash of psychedelic hard rock, noise and garage. The sonic mayhem produced by their guitars is so loud it truly defies...
