LOVE IN VEIN
SURFER BLOOD West Palm Beach-bred rockers Surfer Blood first rode the crest of indie rock adulation with their ’08 tune “Swim,” a boss mix of melodic riffage that harked back to Lou Reed’s “Sweet Jane” merged with tripped-out production. Since then, the band has released three full-lengths and scads of singles featuring their potent blend of indie, surf and lo-fi rock, toured with the Pixies, appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, survived line-up changes and, on a much sadder note, said farewell to guitarist Thomas Fekete, who died from a rare form of cancer earlier this year. 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3 with The Best of Synthia, The Original Café Eleven, St. Augustine Beach, $12 advance; $14 door, originalcafe11.com.
