MUSIC: KALX presents a night of music by quirky, not-so-easy to define bands, including Baths, who explore "the intersections and outer reaches of both electronic and acoustic music," Braids, who oscillate between "density and spaciousness," and Gobble Gobble, who sound like "a mongrel of Xiu Xiu, Postal Service and a Nintendo-64-soundtrack."
