Eight Gigs: Grave Lake

Grave Lake are graduates of the Sacramento school of rock ‘n’ roll. They cut their teeth on the jangly pop sound that spawned from Midtown in the mid-’90s and have added their own heavy twist to an otherwise traditional Sacramento sound. You can bounce to the beat of the heavy, jazzy drums, sing along to the forlorn, frantic chorus and shred your air guitar to the melodic riffs. Just like all good Sacramento bands, they’ve released their latest self-titled E.P. on tape, which you can pick up at this show (if they remember to bring them, which every good Sacramento band always forgets to do). 3512 Stockton Boulevard, www.gravelake.bandcamp.com.
