Eight Gigs: Saint Motel

Missing summer already? Buzzy Los Angeles-based four-piece Saint Motel has got you covered with zippy, upbeat, melodic indie rock in tracks like “My Type” and “Cold Cold Man.” It’s a little bit Franz Ferdinand, a little bit the Neighbourhood, and even a little bit ska at times, channeling those palm-tree vibes of So Cal. Every ticket purchase comes with a digital download of their forthcoming album SaintMotelevision, which drops on October 21. JR JR, formerly known as the KCRW darlings Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., is also on the bill, as is Weathers, another L.A. indie-rock band. 1417 R Street, www.saintmotel.com.
