Best Indie & Rock from October 5 - December 5

in Costa Mesa

Cold War Kids at The Observatory

Cold War Kids

Alternative rockers and indie darlings Cold War Kids are heading out on a new tour in 2024, with pop duo Hovvdy and indie pop artist Joe P on select dates. Known for their jangling guitar riffs and heartfelt lyrics, CWK cite influences as far-ranging as Fiona Apple to Led Zeppelin, which all come together in a blues-rock-infused jam fest.

The Crane Wives at The Observatory

The Crane Wives

Michigan folk outfit The Crane Wives hit the road this summer for a North American tour in the buildup to the release of their latest studio album Beyond Beyond Beyond! Their latest single "Arcturus Beaming" has set the tone for the much anticipated new record, their first in eight years, and is a welcome return to them releasing music.

The Blood Brothers at The Observatory

The Blood Brothers

Seattle post-hardcore cult legends The Blood Brothers reunite this year, touring in celebration of 20 years since the release of Crimes. Regrouping for only the second time since their split in 2006, their cult status has only increased in the intervening decades and this tour marks the first time in that period that fans have had the chance to see them live on the road!
