Anthony and Novena bring you energized and enigmatic music to jumpstart the weekend, like the punk rock sounds of Kid Congo and the Pink Monkeybirds. Fun fact: Their lead singer is known as a member of the Gun Club and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and was also once president of the Ramones fan club. Plus, they’ll have your shot at free tickets to check out Future Islands at The Greek Theatre on Sept. 1.

.@futureislands are just days away from kicking off their tour in LA with @hindsband! Lucky for you we're giving away 5 pairs of tickets to see their show. Enter below and good luck!— Morning Becomes Eclectic (@mbeKCRW)
