Chaser at a SoCal venue May 30. Math rock and progressive indie in a small room — the kind of show where you stand four feet from the guitarist and understand why people obsess over tone.
The way Chaser plays a small room is a different argument than the record — Constellation Room in Santa Ana on May 30, 2026 is where that argument gets made in person. Chaser performs at Constellation Room in Santa Ana on May 30, 2026. Doors at 7:00 PM, show at 8:00 PM, All Ages. What plays in the car on the way home is always the live version, even when the live version hasn't happened yet.

Bayard St and Garnet Ave, Pacific …
Every Thursday evening, Pacific Beach comes alive at the corner of Bayard Street and Garnet Avenue. The PB Night Market runs from 5 to 9:30 PM, just 150 steps from the Pacific Ocean, and brings together 9 to 12 rotating food vendors, fire pits, games, and live music in one of San Diego most walkable beach neighborhoods. This is a neighborhood gathering, not a ticketed event. You show up, grab something to eat from one of the food trucks or pop-up vendors, and settle into the fire pit area for the kind of spontaneous Thursday evening that does not need a plan. The music is live and local -- acoustic sets, small bands, the occasional DJ. The crowd is a mix of Pacific Beach locals, students, and anyone who wandered over from the beach. Vendors rotate weekly. Past offerings have included birria tacos, banh mi, craft lemonade, Hawaiian shave ice, artisan pastries, and local small-batch hot sauces. A few artisan and craft vendors typically set up alongside the food. Free to attend. No tickets, no RSVPs. Just walk up. Dress for the beach breeze -- it cools off after sunset even in summer.
