There are some super great shows in town, but if you love indie-pop, hands down you're going to want to be at Soda Bar, where New Zealand's the Beths will take the stage. Their debut breakout release, "Future Me Hates Me," is pure indie gold and their buzz after SxSW means you probably won't be catching them in a venue as intimate as Soda Bar again. Around town, PRXZM and Party Nails play the Casbah, Belly Up hosts a local night with Mango Melody, and Lost Dakota play Pyles' night at the Merrow.
