Whose idea was it to hold release shows for Alien Boy and Grails on the same night, at different venues a mile apart? I’d like to speak to your manager, please!
On May 9, Alien Boy unveiled their incredibly fun, emotionally vast You Wanna Fade? at Polaris Hall with LA’s Phony, and Conspire doing their thing, while Grails previewed their spaced-out noir odyssey Miracle Music at Mississippi Studios (which actually released today), in the company of Cosmic Tones Research Trio.

To avoid unnecessary FOMO, we asked photographers Jason DeSomer and Nic Kielbasa to attend the respective shows and give us the view from the pit. Check out our review of You Wanna Fade? and cop both the new records from the bands’ respective Bandcamps.
