Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: July 4 offers a different kind of fireworks at the Bootleg – long-running psych-rockers the Warlocks have invited a dozen or so of their like-minded friends to play the Warlocks Smokeout. The lineup of the afternoon/evening affair is highlighted by Blood Candy, Magic Wands, LSD & the Search for God, Von Haze and your always-hazy hosts.

@Seraphina_L recommends: San Francisco’s psychedelic garage-rock band the Fresh & Onlys stops by on Sunday at the Echo where they’ll be supporting their latest album “House of Spirits” (out now via Mexican Summer). Shoegazers Ringo Deathstarr and Tennis System support.
