East Bay virtuosos Wander have earned a reputation for their cosmic, epic instrumental post-rock, flowing from twinkly tranquility to distorted intensity and back with seamless precision. While fans are eagerly awaiting the release of their fourth LP, Home, the shredders will offer a preview at their first live show since 2020. They’re co-headlining with Bay Area screamo stalwarts Hawak, whose latest release, nước, has already been turning heads with its eclectic mix of heavy music with mathy atmospherics and lyrical exploration of Asian-American alienation. They’re joined by San Jose emos Superworld and power poppers Star 99 to boot.
