Hot Snakes at Alex's Bar (Long Beach)

Veterans from such seminal post-hardcore acts as Pitchfork, Drive Like Jehu, and Rocket From The Crypt, San Diego's Hot Snakes always bring the noise while never sacrificing a certain uncategorizable element of clever lightheartedness that seems to make them far more universally accessible than other bands that sound just like them. And if you're a "True Blood" fan, you might know Alex's Bar in Long Beach better as Fangtasia. Let's just say they didn't have to change much to make it read as a Louisiana vampire bar, which in itself means it's a pretty damn good place to take in a punk show. [Details] [via]
