Hikes, Grupo Frackaso, Crown

From Austin, Hikes practices math rock as interpreted by Anthony Green. Grupo Frackaso’s raucous cumbia thrash is best represented by their band symbol: an Olde English 40 dumped into a margarita, spilling its contents into the general area. Their party-animal cumbia overrides any poor attitudes in the house. On “One Eyed Neal,” the final track of Crown’s debut LP Are These the Good Days?, the trio sets up to ride out on some surf rock, but transitions to a massive slow-burner to light fire to the album’s end. $10, 7pm, Brick, 108 Blue Star, (210) 262-8653
