Sat., July 18, 9 p.m., The Hideaway Bar & Grill, $8
The Scouse Gits, which feature some of the area’s most talented dirty rock and blues purveyors, are back to separate the men from the boys. If you’re into smart, lo-fi fare and want to see ’em at a venue best suited for their style, this one is a win-win. Take a listen to the blues-driven “Anytime” from their unreleased demo on YouTube or watch one of the few full shows they’ve released. Also featured on this wonderfully crafted bill are Drive-Thru Mystics (celebrating their third anniversary), San Kazakgascar and Kicksville Vinyl & Vintage’s Tim Matranga, who has a better record collection than everyone reading this combined. 2565 Franklin Boulevard, www.facebook.com/SactoHideaway.
