Tonight celebrates the release of local grease-grungers Wave Action's self-titled tape. Their simple, down-tempo surf feels like daydreaming about aquamarine beaches while lying in a lukewarm Fred Meyer kiddie pool on a gray, humid Portland summer day. Los Angeles' Santoros haven't released anything in a few years, but the darkly psychedelic punk 'n' roll of their 2012 release, Ancestros, is enough to make their set worth checking out. They incorporate organ tones and harmonies over twangy guitar riffs to make the weirdest and catchiest SoCal sunshine punk. CIARA DOLAN
