A bit of a throwback to the indie rock of the mid-aughts, Wayfairy blends acoustic instruments—such as banjo, fiddle, accordion and washboard—with a punk sensibility and activist message. The Oakland-based band brings its radical vision of peace, love and the abolishment of private property to San Jose’s DIY-tastic Playback Studios. Also on the bill, local noise-rock collective Eastern Westerner, who draw inspiration from San Jose indie legends Duster and other contemporary no-wave phenoms like Sonic Youth.

San Jose has a loud and proud history of hardcore, and a particularly ethnically diverse one at that. But for almost two decades the city has gone without a reliable all-ages venue. Thankfully, over the last two years, Playback Studios has emerged as the go-to spot for SJHC—finally reconnecting local musicians with national touring bands. Infirmary are young and promising four-piece, boasting a blistering Bandcamp demo. Infirmary rocks Playback Studios this Saturday with Full Color Dream and Downward from Oklahoma. Bring gas money for the touring bands!
