This might be your last chance of the summer to take it easy, because while the first half of this week is a slow one for live music, things are blowing up for the rest of the season. And, sure, it’s not totally happening over the next couple of days, but that doesn’t mean this town is a total desert. After the jump there are a couple of awesome Soundboard pics to keep keep things exciting during the relaxing holiday week.

Far-out psych collective Destruction Unit is on the road a lot, and one of the last times they came to town, Kevin Warwick said, “Destruction Unit—a band whose former members include Jay Reatard and Alicja Trout—has morphed since its founding in 2000 from more-or-less straightforward garage into sweeping desert rock inflected with Krautrock and psychedelia. The six enveloping songs of jamming fuzz and synth swashes on the Void LP are mostly loud and abrasive and dirty, but it’s their subtleties—distant bubbling murmurs of noise, faint guitar noodling—that make for the best hooks.”
