Safe // Sound’s summer music series continues Friday at Ashmore Gallery with Swinger’s Night


It’s a busy night around town. The offerings include Ponderosa, Yip Deceiver, and Hallucinex at The Jinx in a gig from MusicFile Productions (parent company of Savannah Stopover and Revival Fest). Hallucinex should take the stage around 10, with Yip Deceiver at 11, and Ponderosa at midnight. That gig has gotten some great press, so I’m hoping for a good crowd despite the potentially wet midsummer weather.

And Safe // Sound concludes its summer series at Ashmore Gallery tonight with Saskatchewan, The Cretin Girls, and Sauna Heat. From the Facebook invitation:

Our final show in the series brings three bands of diverse musical inclinations to produce a night of melodic “Swinging”. Our headliner, Saskatchewan, a dream-pop outlet from Orlando, Florida will tease you with their smooth and haunting tunes, but also get ya’ swaying across the floor.

The Cretin Girls: synth-driven garage punk, this is the side project of Gainesville, FL band Thee Holy Ghosts, who are bound to get a little raucous, and really show us what “Ghetto Bleach Punk” means.

Sauna Heat: Savannah locals, these boys are sure to turn it up with their garage-punk antics and good ol’ Rock and Roll mentality.

Here’s Saskatchewan:

Tickets are $7 at the door.

A good night of music around town.
