Promoters Cropped Out and The Other Side of Life, facilitators of some of Louisville’s most adventurous shows, brings this multi-band bill to the Mag Bar. From Massachusetts there’s Banditas (of Boston) and Bunny’s a Swine (of Northampton), who are on tour together, as college is done for another year. From Louisville, Reading Group and Supertruck (it’s unknown whether members of either band went to college, though Reading Group’s name suggests a Harvard-snob band of book learners). If you like raucous rock, indie pop and punky bruisin’, this bar is where you’ll want to be, tonight more than usual. Also notable: There will be a surprisingly healthy balance of both men and women in these four bands, so here’s a rare chance to see something like equality in action, without having to endure any marches, rallies or occupations. —Peter Berkowitz
