The impresarios of Heavy Lemon have corralled another epic collection of bands for a show at Chromatic Coffee this week. Grad Nite, who identify as “Watsonville’s only emo band,” kick the bill off with angsty guitars. SoCal rockers Slingshot follow up in their alt-punk glory, bringing their indie rock buds of Gruncle along. Also present will be the folk-leaning Little’s House, a mellower but no less impactful solo act from Seattle. Last but not least, the endlessly lovable stoner rock duo Düsol brings the fuzz. It’s a great night to support indie artists.
