The pop gods shineth on thee tonight at Alex’s Bar as Lemon Sun brings just a dash of mod to round out a stellar local bill that includes Greater California, ForceFieldON and Two Guns. In the midst of recording a more “psychedelic, rootsy and western” batch of songs, the five-piece promises “effortless charm” (Amoeba Records) that’s guaranteed to leave you “refreshed and desiring more” (L.A. RECORD). There’s no better way to confront the fall doldrums—this week, at least.

Alex’s Bar, 2913 E Anaheim St, Long Beach 90804. 562.434.8292. Thurs. Call for time. $5. alexsbar.com.
