Eight Gigs: Thieves These Days

Sat., April 8, 8 p.m., Old Ironsides, $10

Sacramento’s Thieves These Days celebrates the release of its debut album, Silouhettes, with a packed showcase featuring Vinnie Guidera & the Dead Birds, Odame Sucks and Streetlight Fire. TTD are catchy as hell and stir up a mixed bag of emotions throughout their album. The opening track “Imposter” is pop-driven with clean vocals and fast-paced, ambient guitar work that creates an ethereal soundscape. This band is for fans of Pinback or Saves the Day, and the album is good listening for when you’re down in the gutter or looking to liven up a long drive.
