Free Torching
Straggler and Salem Lights
Oakland's Art Murmur can surface some of the most painfully posturing hipsters, so the Stork Club's decision to book a night of ballsy rock in the middle of the monthly arts fest seems decidedly on point. The lineup features San Francisco's the Salem Lights (a band that often found its home at drunken Sunday sidewalk barbecues hosted at the now-defunct Ivy Room), Oakland's Straggler (The Band Which Hath No Restraint), plus Mommie's Friend and Cleveland. At the Stork Club on Friday, June 1. 9 p.m., free. StorkClubOakland.com
