Aw sweet baby bear! No commentary needed on this one. The medicine men of light and good vibes, Lightning Bolt, storm the Southgate House castle this summer, donning the holy ski masks no matter the heat. Should be a fun, sexy time, and one of the only concerts that matter this summer. The Lightning Bolt band is the best band.
