Sun, Dec 6
Fraxiom, Saint Misty
Hyperpop was never supposed to be listened to at a sensible volume in a car. It was built in bedrooms, for bedrooms, by people who were online too much and turned that into a genre — and for most of its life the only place to hear it was alone, in headphones, at two in the morning. Which makes a small room full of people who also did that genuinely strange to walk into. Everyone there has the same private history with the music and none of them have ever been in a room about it.
Soda Bar is the right size for this and that is not a small point. It is a dive on El Cajon Boulevard with a capacity in the low hundreds, which means the distance between the crowd and whoever is performing is about four feet. Hyperpop shows in rooms that size tend to go somewhere unhinged, because the format was never designed to be performed at a respectful distance.
Sunday December 6, doors and set times through sodabarmusic.com, ten PM. San Diego gets a fraction of these compared to LA, so they do not sit around.
If you know the person who has been saying for three years that nothing good ever comes to San Diego, this is the specific counterexample.
