AlexSucks w/Rehash/Pet Lizard

If you couldn’t bring yourself to leave the house in November 2024 when this alt-rock quartet opened for idkHOW at Jannus Live, Alex Alvarez & co. kickoff the weekend by finally playing a local headlining gig. The current “Dance Punch Cry” tour kicked off earlier in the month at West Hollywood’s legendary Troubadour, with a setlist that starts with the guys’ latest single “Worm In The Sun,” a song that depicts a shitty mental health state (still, it's one of the greatest show openers to release as a single this decade). There’s just something about a full band being quiet for a few seconds to let a crisp guitar kick things off, you know?.—Josh Bradley
