Hot Flash Heat Wave With Small Crush & Practically People

Hot Flash Heat Wave headline an evening of garage rock and dream pop at Valley Bar in downtown Phoenix. The members met in high school in Davis, California and later regrouped in San Francisco, where they became part of the Bay Area indie scene. Their sound has been described as 'surfer pop meets post punk,' with records like Neapolitan, Soaked, and Sportswear shaping a catalog of guitar-driven rock.

Opening support comes from Small Crush, a Bay Area dream pop group that grew from a bedroom project into a full band with albums on Asian Man Records, and Practically People, an alternative rock act based in Phoenix. The bill pairs California-bred indie with local Arizona rock for a night of guitar-forward pop.
