I was a little too young to have experienced the early 1990s rave scene, but it was massive and still has a strong influence on today's club scene. As veterans of those early days, Primal Scream were one of the best and most influential of the time. They're still doing it all two decades later, and that warrants a trip up to the Belly Up. Of course, everyone is talking about the sold-out Casbah show with Haim and the tickets are highly coveted, but if you're left in the cold, you can catch Chris Cornell at Balboa Theatre, Widowspeak and Pure Bathing Culture at the Void, and Buddy Banter will perform with Barbarian at Analog.
