And for our final picks for the best small-club shows in Los Angeles, the end of July begins to smolder with one of LA’s most beloved garage punk bands, along with dulcet bedroom pop sung in both English and Spanish. We also decided to include our recommendations for some major concerts coming to Los Angeles this July.

11. Bleached at Zebulon — July 26

Bleached are LA legends. The sisters Clavin played an influential role in shaping the LA indie / garage rock scene of the early 2010s. Riot grrrl grit meets California sunburn; Bleached are punk rockers with hooks sharp enough to cut denim.
Dimber open.

12. Katzu Oso at Secret Location in Boyle Heights — July 26

Sweet, bilingual bedroom pop with a nostalgic gloss—think prom night in a John Hughes film reimagined by a Chicano heartthrob.
Los Caramelos open.

13. Thee Marloes at Lodge Room — July 27

Vintage soul reimagined with Southeast Asian flair, Thee Marloes craft smoky love songs that belong on vinyl and in your heart. File them under smooth grooves for days.
Opening set by Silvertone.
