Tapa the papas

Spanish band Migala will make a rare appearance at Old Ironsides this Saturday, March 2. The Madrid-based band’s latest release, Arde, which came out last summer on Sub Pop, features some of their friends from the boutique indie label Acuarela Records, which released Migala’s first two discs. Migala fuses swaying rhythms and beautiful spoken-word rants over delicate clean-channel guitar, as demonstrated on Arde’s “Suburban Empty Movie Theater” or the lovely “El Caballo del Malo.” If Tindersticks met up with the Aqua Velvets in a dark alley, this band might be the result. Also on the bill are For Stars, a San Francisco band that records for Future Farmer (which has released discs by Jackpot, The Mother Hips, The Toadmortons, and numerous Bay Area acts), and Victory Gin, Sacramento’s closest relative to Jeff Buckley or Sonoma County’s sadly defunct Mason Lane. The show starts at 9:30 (get there early to catch Migala), door charge is $7, and the show is 21 and over. Old Ironsides is located at 1901 10th St.
