Oakland’s Lecherous Gaze will take a break from working on a new record to play one of San Francisco’s coolest places to get smashed on a faux weekend night. One listen to the band’s raucous Zeta Reticuli Blues (2014) on Tee Pee Records should be ample reason to leave the confines of your over-priced studio apartment and kick out the proverbial jams. The band features the multi-talented guitarist Graham Clise of Annihilation Time and Witch (with J. Mascis), who also works as a guitar tech for Dinosaur Jr. If you haven’t bought or heard any of the band’s previous records, and you consider yourself a fan of garage rock, punk, and dirty rock ’n’ roll, its releases are mandatory for the collector completest. “New Distortion” could be one of the best dirty rock songs in recent memory and “Boulevard Diamond” is equally compelling. Come to the show and buy me a Pabst.
