Rafter
San Diego’s resident musicphile Rafter Roberts’ wades into the noise pop tide pool with his side project Rafter. Known for his expert skill as a recording engineer and Creative Director of Singing Serpent studio, Roberts has worked with indie darlings such as Sufjan Stevens, Black Heart Procession, and Hot Snakes. This time, he’s in front of the mic and on stage, divining inspiration from new wave staples Devo and Talking Heads while simultaneously channeling the punk roots of XTC. VERONICA YOUNG
