Calendar Highlights of Upcoming Music Events: March 21-27

This week offers an eclectic mix of music, spanning various genres and showcasing talented artists from different parts of the music spectrum. The lineup promises to deliver performances that will resonate with fans and newcomers alike.

Thursday: Metal Fusion and Post-Hardcore Vibes

The week kicks off with a double feature of headlining bands—Intervals and Hail The Sun. Intervals is a Canadian band steeped in instrumental metal, blurring lines between progressive and math rock genres, captivating audiences with their complex and melodic soundscapes. Founded in 2011 by Aaron Marshall and Anup Sastry, Intervals welcomes listeners on an auditory journey of discovery.

Joining them is Hail The Sun, a post-hardcore band from Chico, known for their Mars Volta-esque energy and genre-spanning melodies that are as much about sound as they are about storytelling. The event is sure to leave a lasting impression on its attendees.

Unmissable Performances Throughout the Week

The following days are brimming with a diverse array of performances. London Elektricity, a drum-and-bass pioneer, will bring his unique blend of orchestral layering and electronic music. Indie rock band The Kooks will introduce audiences to new tunes influenced by frontman Luke Pritchard's recent life changes. While for punk rock fans, Swami and The Bed of Nails will deliver an energetic set that's expected to reinvigorate the rebellious spirit.

The weekend continues the indie streak with the youthful energy of Sarah and The Sundays, and Jhariah's genre-defying soundscape. As the week wraps up, jazz fusion artist Tigran Hamasyan and the classically inclined Mahler Chamber Orchestra will offer more sophisticated tones.

For those in search of some comic relief, Jenny Roberts' 'Who's That? Nasty Neighbor' provides a night of laughter and creative storytelling, embodying the dynamic spirit of Oakland's art scene.
