LA's White Arrows brought an interesting indie-dance rock flavor to Popscene in San Francisco last month. An overtly drunk yet obviously under age audience that was scattered across the dance floor fell restless as the band battled sound issues prior to their performance.
Seemingly less than impressed with the sparse turn-out, front man Mickey Church first confirmed that the crowd could hear feed back before asking the house to fix the feed back being heard, after which everyone was ready for the show to begin!

Except for a mix of dim flashing psychedelic images and some DIY propaganda clips, the stage remained rather dark, suiting White Arrows' moody Psychotropical pop, borderline post-punk sound.
Vocals also remained low while John Paul Caballero's fierce guitar playing dominated the set.
The band really connected on stage, feeding off of each other's easy-going energy as they shared smirks and chuckles with one another throughout the night.

Mickey kept the dwindling crowd entertained between songs with silly, almost awkward banter, he then put on a purple wig half way through the set. They played a handful of songs from their upcoming sophomore album, In Bardo (due out later this year) for the first time on Thursday night along with highlights from their first album, Dry Land Is Not a Myth and earlier EPs. With it's catchy hooks and funky-fun beat, the effortlessly cool single, "City Boy" closed the show on a high-note.
