It’s a new month — which means more live music. Our picks this week feature local acts and some international genres.
Thursday, May 3: BAR Con at BackBar

Friday, May 4: Joyce Manor at The Ritz
Southern California pop punk band Joyce Manor head to #DTSJ this Friday for another spotlight show at The Ritz. They’re joined by San Jose’s awakebutstillinbed and Oakland’s Pity Party for a night of California emo pop that you don’t want to pass up.
