Eight Gigs: Geographer

Wed., March 30, 6:30 p.m., Ace of Spades, $15

San Francisco’s Geographer are all over the literal map as of late, playing a bunch of super buzzy showcases at South by Southwest and Treefort Music Fest as part of a national tour all the way to New York and back. The band’s take on electro indie rock is refreshingly sincere, largely owing to frontman Mike Deni’s vocals, which I’d describe as “angelic” if we were talking about an angel who’s a little broody yet prone to fits of euphoria. British pop rockers the Crookes are along for the ride and Sacto’s own Life in 24 Frames opens up. 1417 R Street, www.geographermusic.com.
