Indie rock night featuring Hot Flash Heat Wave, Small Crush and High at Brushy Street Commons.
Hot Flash Heat Wave play Brushy Street Commons on Friday, September 18, with Small Crush and High opening. The show runs from 7 PM to 9 PM, and tickets start at $54.
Hot Flash Heat Wave is an indie rock band from Davis, California, now based in San Francisco. They've built their sound around a few different threads—surfer pop, dream pop, and psychedelic rock—and they tend to lean into all of them at once. The melodies are the thing that sticks, and they share lead vocals across the band, so the songs don't just hang on one voice.
They first made a name for themselves with "Gutter Girl," and their discography since then includes the albums Neapolitan, Soaked, and Sportswear. Along the way, they've put out singles like "Sky So Blue" and "Freefall," which give a good sense of where they've been. If you're coming in cold, those records and singles are the best place to start.

On the night, they're sharing the bill with Small Crush and High, so the music starts well before the headliner takes the stage. The whole thing runs from 7 PM to 9 PM at Brushy Street Commons, 501 Brushy St., and tickets start at $54.
