Rain on Fridays at Low Down Lounge
Rain on Fridays embodies a unique blend of ambidexterity in their music. It's the auditory equivalent of being both happy and sad, a mix that can feel like punching your enemies in the face and then kissing them goodnight – a Jawbreaker candy that you're only halfway through. This three-piece alternative indie rock outfit from San Diego has expertly woven influences from alternative, post-punk, grunge rock, and indie to create music that truly vents.
The trio has crafted a sound as diverse as their city — a blend of oceanic calm and desert storm. Their debut album, "Mono Monday," released in the summer of 2019, isn't just a collection of songs but a journey through the growing pains and anxieties of life, offering listeners a glimpse of silver linings amidst turmoil.
With their sophomore album slated for release in 2024, and tours of the West Coast and Southwest region, Rain on Fridays is not only a band on the rise — it’s a crafting of a movement. Where their sound travels, it carries with it a message of inclusivity, unboundness, defiance, and transformation.
