I don't know if there's a band in alternatve radio at the moment that's more ubiquitous than X Ambassadors. Their catchy song featured on--wait, is that a commercial for a car? A candy bar? I don't know, but when you see and hear it, you want to be the people in the ad. Along with Milky Chance, these are two artists who kind of skipped the line when it comes to playing years in small clubs, but they're still worth your attention. Catch them at noon today for a free mini-concert at Quartyard, then Monday night for their full sets at Soma. Meanwhile, Hocus headlines Anti-Monday League at Casbah, The Delta Saints headline a whiskey-swilling night at Soda Bar, Pat Benatar and Neil Geraldo at Belly Up, and Triptides make their way to the Hideout.
