Eight Gigs: PowerFlex 5
Sat., May 20, 8 p.m., Blue Lamp, $10
PowerFlex 5 is a celebrity mashup consisting of four guys known for different accomplishments, like tattoo artistry, guitar tech-ery and skateboard-ery. When you put them all together, you get a bluesy, rock ’n’ roll, power-pop, pop-punk conglomeration that is the perfect soundtrack to skate the pool to. Speaking of which, PowerFlex 5 traveled all the way from SoCal to party with the N-Men for their summer session. So, grab your board and join the skate session beforehand. Then, head over to the Blue Lamp to finish the night with some good old-fashioned rock ’n’ roll. 1400 Alhambra Boulevard, www.powerflex
