Eight Gigs: Dune Rats
Tue., Oct. 27, 8 p.m., Press Club, $8
Aussie indie-punkers Dune Rats filmed a video for their song “Fuck It” by literally smoking weed for three minutes (which is oddly captivating). And—no surprise—the word “marijuana” comes up in several of their songs. Despite the copious amount of weed and cheap beer they consume, the members seem to be constantly on uppers. The music is fast-paced, upbeat, super-fun surf-influenced indie rock, and any footage you find of them online shows them to be a state of constant partying and pranking. Have a healthy meal before heading out and be prepared to go the distance. 2030 P Street, www.dunerats.tv.
